Reverse flies

[yvi]

I have no idea whether this is a rant, a question or a cry for some sympathy. I have been doing reverse flies as part of my strength training regularly for over 6 weeks now. I started with only my dumbbell handles. When I could comfortable do 12 of those, I added half a kilogram of weight to them. And 4 weeks after that, that is still where I am and I can't even do 12 of them all the way up yet. Maybe 8. But 12 without the 0.5 kgs are no challenge.

It makes me want to scream. Is progress for reverse flies always slow like that? Is there any exercise that might help along the way? I hate feeling stuck like that. I don't need to increase weight every week, but I haven't seen any progress for this exercise in weeks now.
