This happens, on a positive note, you are conditioned and can begin to experiment with other exercises.

I think you are in the weeds here c-man. For example, I count my sets in time intervals, and for me a rep is counted as pressure up towards the glans and then back down towards the base. I will adjust the timing of a “stroke” throughout a set based on feel. I’m looking to create consistent stress through the set. Sometimes I hold, sometimes I am more dynamic.
This is just how I approach it.
Again, I’m focused on consistency and stress.
What a rep might be or a set can change form person to person or even from day to day.

I really just think this is personal preference, as long as you are creating consistent stress and not going outside the safe zone for pressure. Knowing what the safe zone is with an advance exercise like the uli is all by feel, this is one reason that it is advanced. You must know when to back off and this can be done instantly or dynamically by moving back towards the base or backing the pressure off of one of your squeeze points.
It’s an art form rather than a science.

Intensity over time my friend, but you don’t want to create injury. So going too light will not produce results and too much can result in a negative physiological state not conducive for training or worse, injury.

Personally I think that both of these questions can be answered with the same response. You have put your time into conditioning, now you can begin to experiment with more advanced exercises. Personally, I think you can now decide where you want go next. The challenge is ensuring you stay safe while being both consistent and beginning to find your intensity rhythm.
You have been consistent Celery Man and I believe now you are at a point where you can begin to move forward with more advance exercises and press the intensity.
You have come to that point now where you will need to begin to define your own limits.
We got this brother.
