Regulating volume on first epi cycle

My volume regulation is dialed in as a natty. Do you have any tips on volume regulation on my first epistane cycle?

Currently doing a 5 day split
Chest: bench, incline, flyes
Back: deadlift, pullups, rows
Shoulders: military, side raises, rear flyes, shrugs
Legs: squat, front squat
Arms + weak points
1-2 days off, repeat.
(abs and calf work after main workouts, between sets, etc)

I can typically handle about 10 heavy sets (1-6 reps) a day, plus some extra pump/rest-pause sets. On cuts I drop the pump work. On bulks I do more pump sets. I'll obviously just have to listen to my body on this, but is there a general ballpark I should be looking at? 25% more volume? 50%? Doubling?

I typically advocate an upper/lower/upper/lower split. I've been running the same split for about 3 years now, with no signs of slowing and it can be run with as few or as many rest days as you want. I've gone 3 weeks without a rest day on multiple times.

Quads / Calves
Chest / Delts
Hamstrings / Calves
Lats / Traps

More hip and ham work OP, both on and off cycle. Just go by feel, but I don't see any reason to double your volume. If you look at a lot of training methods, they are written for natural lifters by drug using lifters. So the volume shouldn't change all that much.
