how should i time and increase volume for first cycle

ad

should i wait till after i deload to prepare for my pr week (in a power lifting program) to start my first cycle? how much volume should i add to each work out? i know this depends on the person and the program but just hit me with examples that worked for you and it will give me somewhere to start. thanks in advance to all answers!

Adding volume is a process of trial and error. Add a bit of volume to your training and see how you recover. Feel like you barely trained add a bit more volume or push for heavier sets, feel sore for too long lower the volume a bit.

Not sure what you mean by deload, but I would go into the cycle full blown balls to the wall all the way until end of cycle.
