You will overtrain.

I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts. It wasn't my fault!! I swear to God!!

double reps?you means instead of doing 5 sets of 10 reps...you want to do 5 sets of 20 reps?

More reps will train slow twitch fibers and will give more muscle endurance....however it is not the most effective way to build muscle mass or strength...
