Ok, Kane understood what you meant about your training.
If you were to be reaching failure quite often then you may have people tell you that you run the risk of CNS overtraining. SOME actually do relate intensity to rep maximums. It is a very convoluted and confusing way to look at it. I agree wholeheartedly with Kane...8 reps isn't a high intensity.
As far my example of going to failure....again, the only affect any CNS "fatigue" would be a decreased abiltity to maintain that particular intensity but your would have a hard time telling the affects of "volume fatigue" from any other fatigue. Certainly if you felt over-reached that would be volume calling.
But you are not stupid. Some people are and need to be told not to keep doing the same things in the face of performance decrements.
Like Kane was saying higher volume will accumulate more fatigue. The higher the volume the longer it takes for that fatigue to dissapate. Let me put it this way. If you started the week with say, 15 reps and you ended the week with 30 reps the fatigue from the 30 reps would be longer lasting. That kind of makes a little sense, doesn't it?
