I am not clear as whether YOU train to the weakness, or the strength? So if your throw(?) is strong you re-enforce that, or you do the next test, looking for what is weak, and then train to the weakness?

There would only be one test per day. For instance -
On one of my days the test is the overhead shot heave. (throw the shot backwards as far as possible. Usually 8-10 attempts) If the shot is within 3% of my
PR, then it is a power training day. If it is within 3-8% of my
PR is is a strength training day. If it is more than 8% from my
PR it is a work capacity day.

and how about fatigue'feeling' regardless of performance. Sometimes if i have a fatigue, and i have decide to 'do it anyways' my brain can torure that part, and many times i will see a superior performance. ie: pushing thru tired legs and an early "wall"- can almost create a euphoric state, and then I get smooth and fast.

That is the best part. Sometimes the best days are when you feel like crap. Sometimes you feel like a million bucks and test out terrible. With this method you are training what your body is prepared for, not what your mind thinks you need. (often very different things
)
Lets say, for example FF, you test a standing broad jump on lifting days. (you would take a week to set some benchmarks for the test) then you could choose training like this.
1. Within 3 inches of your
PR. Power training day. This is the day you could emphasize your cleans, jerks, jumping / sprinting exercise, and faster movements.
2. 3-6 inches from your
PR. Strength training day. Here you would emphasize heavy type lifting. Squats, deadlifts, and heavier training.
3. 6+ inches from your
PR. Work capacity day. Here you would emphasize more reps, circuits, general conditioning type exercise.
(I chose the inch range as a baseline, that part may end up being different for you)
This type of thing can be great for endurance athletes because the effect of long rides, runs, and swims is hard to figure when it comes to weight training. You may find that you end up training a certain type of weight training more often because that is what your body needs.
(since you are in here FF I think I will start an auto-regulating endurance training thread sometime this coming week. It will be interesting to expand on some thoughts there as well
)
