Andy Dick:
When I reached overtraining, I could see my weights dropping without control. The will would be there but I would not be able to lift the weight, even squats were dropping. I would be having a hard time doing weights well removed from my working sets. Example if I were squatting 335# for triples I would be struggling with 295# for triples. I also felt like I had no pop and my speed getting under the weights felt slower and I would miss more. I do not see this as a psychological problem. Over time as I felt exhausted all the time inside and outside of training would the psychological, of the just feeling too tired to train and not wanting to train start to setting in. But by this point my weights had already dropped significantly. As the drop in weights progressed then the injuries would start to set in.
Chris Ⓐ LeRoux:
None of these personal stories meet the scientific meaning of over-training. The point isn't that all fatigue is psychological but rather that a psychological state of burnout can occur without meeting the requirements for overtraining. Injuries are another variable entirely and no cause and effect can be established.
Arturo Gómez:
I think the problem is have the techniques for early detect the causes of imbalanced training. These technique are well developed in the industrial "control of process". The goal I think is apply them to weighltifting.

Maybe OT is a message sent from the brain that to train in that way is dangerous.
Arturo Gómez:
I think that injuries are not 100% randomical and umpredictable events. Many signal are ignored before a serious injurie in weightlifting: incorrect technique, umbalanced results in the differents of biomechanical chain, recurrent local pains.
