Overtraining

What exactly happens when someone overtrains? Besides the threat of muscle loss and increased injury what are other things? What are some of the signs you are overtraining?

Overtraining Symptoms

I have been overtraining so now I'm on a rest period, I have been feeling really depressed, weak, no energy and I feel really tired all the time...
It's a really bad feeling, I have read on many sites that the only way to recover is to rest, eat lots of carbohydrates...
However I have been resting for 3 weeks now and I don't feel much better...

I think we're thinking the same thing, Sparrow. See my reply on your other post titled "Hot"

Decreased performance
Decreased bodyfat percentage
Decreased maximal O2 uptake
Altered blood pressure
Increased DOMS
decreased muscle glycogen
Decreased total testosterone
