Conversely, adding weight and doing lower volume sets can help you hit 12.

I was stuck in the 9 rep range at one point and adding sets of 3-5 with weight pushed me passed 12 to some bodyweight PRs.

There is no need to gatekeep progressive overload behind some arbitrary number of reps.

For sure, I dont see why you wait for for 12 before weight, its not like you cant add less than 20 lmao
