In time you'll learn to listen to your body and you'll be able to predict when you're going to fail. However, crudely put, you stall when you're no longer able to add weight each week and get the same reps.
i.e.
Week 1 - 50kg x 8 reps
Week 2 - 52.5kg x 8 reps
Week 3 - 55kg x 8 reps
Week 4 - 57.5kg x 7 reps - oops, can't increase the weight and get the same number of reps. Try again next week in case it was just a bad workout.
Week 5 - 57.5kg x 7 reps - yep, definitely stalled lol
