Since the beginning of the year I have been tracking my performance on the same sort of plan, so a short 4week Sheiko block. I have four (mostly) complete blocks now. As well as a bit of a different block and some bbr work.
So volume, as kg lifted per week, if I track week three of my cycles. (I try to normalize other exercises back to an equivalent full ROM bench, so the items can be varied block to block but still be comparable).
Block 1 - 24504
Block 2 - 26267
Block 3 - 28080
Block 4 - didn't have the same days.
Block 5 - ditto
Block 6 - 28729
Block 7 - 30808
The is good increases, 25% increase to block 7. The best part is that value for Block 7 took place over 3 days, versus 5 for the other blocks. Feeling it... but happy. I had done a 32000kg week, but that was five days of benching, which was more lower % volume work to bulk it up.
Happy. Some of that volume is driven by an increase in loading, and a bit of it is an increase in sets/reps.
