I’ve kept volume high/ low rest… But it sometimes catches up to me after mid week…so now I’m looking for a solution

Most programs seem to recommend that if training 6x per week, your daily volume should be low and the opposite if training like 3x per week. Effectively such that total sets per week is about the same.

If you’re doing intensification techniques, or HIT stuff (like rest-pause or similar), this is going to wear out your CNS to a significant degree.

A comment by @Christian_Thibaudeau that may apply to your interest in cardio:

@Christian_Thibaudeau

Now, by adding WODs (counterintuitively, endurance/resistance/conditioning work creates more central fatigue than strength work) you might be burning more calories but you make the next day’s workout less effective.

Not to mention that “burning more calories” by training more also leads, in this case, to more cortisol levels. Over the mid/long term, chronically elevated cortisol levels can make it harder to lose fat by lowering metabolic rate (chronic cortisol elevation decreases the conversion of the T4 thyroid hormone to the T3 one, which results in a slower metabolic rate). So that strategy can backfire.
