When lifting for good health only, when should you stop progressive overload?

If your only goal in lifting is good all-round health, metabolism, joint mobility, and disease prevention, at what point could you stop progressive overload in your lifts and then just focus on maintaining the weight?

This is likely a gross simplification, but could you aim for a certain percentage of bodyweight for the squat, deadlift, overhead press, bench and pull up as a marker for "good health"?

If your only goal in lifting is good all-round health, metabolism, joint mobility, and disease prevention, at what point could you stop progressive overload over your lifts and then just focus on maintaining the weight?

This is likely a gross simplification, but could you aim for a certain percentage of bodyweight for the squat, deadlift, overhead press, bench and pull up as a marker for "good health"?
