Anyone who uses weights to gain strength or increase muscle size will soon realize that it is progression that is paramount. Progress in adding reps to a set as well as increasing the weight on the bar. There is no doubt that adding weight consistently will lead to larger muscles and stronger muscles.
The best way to achieve this is with incremental weight increases that are small but add up to a considerable amount over time. Small weights plates are by far the best way to achieve this. 1.25 pound plates are some of the smaller sizes of plates available but they are invaluable.
