Only a marginal intense effort produces growth so what purpose have all the other sub marginal reps? I tried pavels higher volume approach on the PTP programme and felt overtrained and weak all the time even when doing less than half potential reps. My best ever gains came from 1 set of presses, 1 set of deadlifts and 1 set of squats every 9 days-each exercise on a different day and not to failure but very heavy around 5 reps-so i was trying a similar low volume approach with KBs.

Try ladders!
There is a reason so many programs round here are based on ladders - they work. You sound like you keep over training. Ladders will help you build up some capacity (you mention 'growth' if you are looking to put on some beef then just keep the rest periods short with the ladders). You sound like you may be a hare who needs to think like the tortoise.
Good luck,
