Those Darn Scientists and Athletes


World and Olympic champion weightlifter Tommy Kono said,
"There is a "diminishing return" for an excessive amount of work. When your workload gets to the point of fatigue, all the previous good lifts performed beforehand will be erased by sloppily performed or imperfect lifts..."
Elite power lifting coach Konstantin Rogozhnikov said:
"The mistake of many athletes (and coaches, my comment) is they do not know how to stop in time. It always seems to them that they are not doing enough and they ought to do more....More does not mean better."
(both of the above quotes were taken from Easy Strength by Dan John and Pavel)

There is already 12 unconfirmed reports of injuries including labrum tears, blown out disks, hamstring pulls and one guy dropped a bar on his teeth.

solid performance.
(...and once again, just in case, this is facetious)
