Ross, in your case intensity is a very relative term since you're dealing with higher rep/set ranges. 4x8 isn't a high intensity at all, but it may be a high intensity if you compare each set to your 8RM. By that time you've kind of convoluted the meaning of intensity. With higher volume you'll accumulate fatigue easier, meaning a higher need for deloading or a shift in tempo to a lower volume. You need lower volume to have a higher intensity, the two go hand in hand. Which is why a 5x5 is the 'middleground'.
