40 reps ???

I have a small weights machine in my garage and use it 2-3 times a week and i seemed to have gained some muscle and got quite a bit stronger. The only problem is that i'm now able to push 40 reps on some exercises with all the weights the machine will take. Is this going to stop my progress in muscle and strength gain
