I mean, they tested it for so long, so they should have an idea, right?
If you can’t add 100g then it makes no sense.
If you wait for anarbitrary day to add 100g you might’ve extended many days without any progression.
I doubt there is a formula that applies to everyone. Dogmatics doesn’t make good PE. The biggest gainers totally tuned into their personal M.O.
The margins between no impact and no gain and too much and injury are tight.
I would say extending to approx. maximum stretch is best. When I did extending I slowly extended further sometimes from set to set.
If I felt there is no slight(!) uncomfort I would go a mm further until I get there.
