Great share and makes sense. I would love to see the overcompensation part. How do you get your body to overcompensate past baseline recovery. The example in my mind is lifting 45lbs for 5 reps on bench (typical bar weight) and then convincing your body to recover like it lifted 250lbs for 10 reps. Is it in the time period of recovery?
3. there is time beyond the recovery period to overcompensate.
The weight on the bard doesn't matter, really (as much as people think, anyway). I could bench 300lbs twelve different ways, they would all look identical but tell the body entirely different things - I would consider them 12 different movements but the difference are not obvious in the mechanics.
That said...
The body does not want to build muscle, its counterproductive to survival (it has caloric needs), you have to give it a REALLY good reason to - so if you do not trigger the mechanism that says "if we dont build muscle, we are in danger" it will not overcompensate to do so - but it WILL recover.

Your body will overcompensate if:
1. A mechanism to do so is triggered
2. There is full recovery
3. there is time beyond the recovery period to overcompensate.
