If a thread for this stuff has already been started I appologize but I couldn't find it at a cursory glance.

I'll post abstracts when I have time or full articles if possible. Anything anyone else wants to contribute I wanna read. I know there's some interesting shit out there on the phisiological changes during over-reaching.

This study examined immune cell and blood chemistry changes occurring in trained weightlifters after 1 week of rest followed by 6 weeks of Olympic-style resistance exercise. Blood was drawn weekly after 1 day of rest at the same time and on the same day of the week for 7 weeks. Lymphocyte numbers increased in weeks 5 through 7. Sodium concentration rose above entry levels in week 2, remained elevated, and peaked in week 5. Direct bilirubin dropped below baseline values in the final week. Chloride and alkaline phosphatase concentrations increased as training progressed. Chloride, potassium, albumin, CO(2), and alkaline phosphatase concentrations peaked in weeks 4 through 6. Serum creatinine was elevated in weeks 2 through 5. Data indicate that resistance training induces changes in immune cell count and blood chemistry that remain within, or near, normal clinical values. It appears that resistance training does not induce immunosuppression or negatively affect hepatic or renal function.

It has been recently suggested that high and sustained lactate levels may elicit increases in peripheral B-EN concentrations (16). We have observed elevated and sustained lactate concentrations in response to a low-volume resistive exercise protocol (14) that were similar to those from other exercise protocols that produced elevated beta-endorphin (B-EN) concentrations. Thus, the purpose of the study was to determine the effects of a low-volume (21,700 J) resistive exercise repetition maximum (RM) protocol using weight machines on peripheral lactate, B-EN and cortisol concentrations. Subjects completed 3 sets of bench press, lat-pull, leg extension, and leg curl exercise at a 10-RM load. Blood samples were collected and rating of perceived exertion (RPE, 15-point Borg scale) was assessed before exercise (-40 and -10 min), after each exercise, and after the exercise session (+ 35 min); blood samples were collected at 7 additional post-exercise times. RPE increased significantly throughout the exercise. Lactate concentrations rose significantly to peak at 8.54 mM at LE. B-EN and cortisol concentrations (-10) of 4.63 +/- 0.54 pmol.l-1 and 12.09 +/- 1.44 micrograms.dl-1, respectively, were not significantly elevated over time. The data suggest that a low-volume resistive exercise protocol using weight machines elevates lactate concentrations without altering B-EN and cortisol concentrations.

EMG (+20.3% vs +9.1%), testosterone (+ 10.5% vs +6.4%), and testosterone:cortisol ratio (-10.5% vs +1.3%) than did the once-daily training group. Conclusions: There were no additional benefits from increased daily training frequency in national-level male weightlifters, but the increase in ISO and EMG activity for the twice-daily group might provide some rationale for dividing training load in an attempt to reduce the risk of overtraining

Can you say testosterone!! And double the EMG?  Talk about creating potential for some serious jump improvements!

For the avg. Joe, nothing too exciting.  For the elite lifter, it may show some insight.
