There WILL be a point in time where you won't be able to keep adding weight. You can't expect to keep adding weight all the time, that is the hardest progression to maintain. Maybe it hasn't happened yet but it will.
What happens if you can't add any weight to an exercise? You do the same weight, right? But what happens if that continues for an extended period of time. The law of diminishing returns will be kicking in hard. But if you got stuck at a weight and performed an extra rep, or set, you're still providing the progessive overload needed for growth.
