This doesn't make much sense to me when we are talking about pure ligament gains, because we are talking about a physical process, not a physiological process. (With girth gains, this seems different.)
It seems as though the ligaments are set in their composition, are they not?
If that is the case, then why would people suggest that ligament gains require increasing intensity, for their own sake?
Isn't this a bit like saying, "hey man, don't stretch the rubber band as hard as you can (assuming you won't break it", because then you'll need even more force to stretch it further, and we don't know where to get that."
It seems like if anything, come to think of it, you should need LESS force to stretch ligaments that have grown, not more, because the ligaments will be more pliable.
-- I could see how the intensity of stretches and exercises ends up being higher as the ligaments grow longer, because a person then has access to more for stretching, and can do various stretches of higher intensity, and so on.
Granted, ligament gains are one form of growth/enlargement, and I can see how the more physiological adaptations would require a more periodized approach, and so on.
I can see other reasons for not stretching at max intensity all of the time, but it doesn't seem to be do to "wasting" any type of gains, or any of that, because that seems pretty false.
