That will be difficult to pin-point, make sure your eating and sleeping, in fact load up on protien beforehand.
And well hydrated.
Maybe take the week off work.
Drink bucket loads of coffee.
Make sure you have someone pushing you.

The coffee one is a bad idea - if you drink too much you overstimulate adrenals and that'll ruin his experiment. The rest seems ok lol

The same as meeting anyone else. I'd be willing to meet anyone, no exceptions.

The closest I ever come to feeling anything like overtraining( it wasnt even close) was after reading some Broz training stuff started squatting everyday. After about a week was getting massive lower back pumps and cramps anytime I did anything. Lasted for a week or two and then went away. Hit some good PBs after squatting everyday.

I find psyching up to be the major factor. Overtraining is the adrenals shutting down to hypertrophy. Psyching up and using pre-workouts increases the release of the neurotransmitters from the adrenals and a bigger recovery is needed.
I never psyche up any more apart from at meets where it is sensible. You will find it very hard to overtrain if you're not getting psyched up. I think 5 heavy singles a day of the deadlift where you get meet levels of psyche would destroy you in 10 days no problem. You could easily triple that volume if you took the belt off and didn't psyche up

I wouldn't say that I was overtraining specifically but when I was just getting started in strength training I was doing SL5x5 3x a week and 3x 2hr mma classes. I was eating enough to maintain and slowly gain weight and sleep was typical 8hrs for me.
The progress I had with SL was a LOT slower than most people's seemed to be (other noobs). I don't know if it was overtraining, undereating, undersleeping, being a pussy (I don't think that is the case
) or whatever but my body was definitely not responding well with that amount of volume at the time.
I then hurt myself doing mma, stopped that. Slowly came back to strength training when I could and the gains were MUCH more linear.
Now as a couple of years have gone by it seems as though I probably could handle the sort of training volume that I was doing initially but at the time it was just too large of a jump.
Hope that rambling makes sense

thats a bit like saying "interesting to see how many people who seem to suffer overtraining, are breathing"
Above 80% of adults have had glandular fever at some point in their lives, 50% of kids have it before highschool..
