no idea, all I can do is give you the numbers I could do. For me I think the high reps and doing each exercise once per week was killing me. I would often still be sore / fatigued from last weeks...

It was the most important thing I learned

It gives your body a chance to recover and I found it crucial in breaking through plateaus

yeah those straps assist a lot. I once trained with someone who used them and it helps. It feels a lot like assisted pullup machine if you ever tried one, just use more bands for more assist.

ok so there it is, 20% is the upper limit of what people have decided there is no point in going over.
