Does anyone find strength progress is really slow?

I remember when I first started with bwf that I never really had a period where I could progressively overload each session. Always took about 2 sessions. I've noticed now as I've made big jumps in strength and weight that even though I'm not at an advanced level at all, progress has slowed down significantly. For some exercises, I think it's taken almost a year to get from 3x4 to 3x8 (with better form of course). I've been doing dips for over a year now, I'm still no where near an easy 3x8. I'm wondering if anyone experiences something similar? I have found with barbell movements it's so much easier to maintain constant progressive overload because you can just add tiny increments of weight.
