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.

Again, I think there is just a misunderstanding of what overtraining means. It doesn't mean you trained too hard. I was in a study as a teenager at the OTC that basically tried to overtrain us, lifting like 5x a day and stuff. Some lifters got hurt. Some couldn't handle the work and made excuses to skip workouts regularly. Some skipped reps and sets. And some did it all and got better, as I did. But NO ONE's blood tested with markers for overtraining.
