Hi. My personal example which I use for optimal strength and size gains for weighted pull is 10 reps with x amount.
So when you can do 10 reps with that weight you add more weight. Don't rush your weights up please be caution of injuries and warm up properly!
Example of my progressive overload:
Week 1 i done 10 reps with 37.5kg
Week 2 i add 2.5kg =40kg and i keep grinding same weight until i do 10 reps!
Also its good to do a deload week every 5 weeks or more. Gives your body a rest and its good for progression. Deload? Is when you lower the intensity of your work out so lower the weights and repetitions. You could deload at 50% of weight and half of the repetitions.
If you was to feel a weight is too easy, you can add more weight DURING that session.
I hope I was helpful, good luck best wishes get them gains :)
