Interesting stuff on detecting hormone fluctuations without (expensive machines such as) the OmegaWave. For those blanking, the Hormone Fluctation model of training is described in Practical Programming and basically combines alternating intensity/volume weeks while monitoring hormone levels in an effort to disrupt training homeostasis and peak for contest.
In plain English:
If your "power" movement speed (Snatch, Power Clean, Vertical Jump, etc.) is down (assuming you track these things), then you are not in the optimal state for performance. If you are "fast", then probably you are.

The best way to manage this kind of thing, I think, is to just track whatever is convenient. For example, if I am in a really shitty mood (like, depressed) then I am probably overtrained. I find that before meets/test days I am in a great mood because of all the rest. During heavy training weeks I get depressed.
Of course, I can usually tell if I'm overtrained by doing things like failing at 80% or nearly passing out when I warm up...
