Fatigue, malnutrition, etc... Vitamin deficiency is one of the most common reasons for slowed processing and inability to maintain performance in repetative exercises. I enjoyed the article though. I'm looking to exchange a link if anyone is interested. Thanks, Kevin There are probably a million other variables that can affect these measures.

Learning to use switch on the parts of the brain that are necessary for different sorts of tasks could be central to any advanced brain training program. Which also means relaxing those parts which are not as essential. For example intense self consciousness or readiness to control probably isnt all that necessary for twiddling two fingers. Some of the main approaches to top performance seem adrenalin fueled speed/attention, repetitive training or a relaxed slightly defocused high performance state. Perhaps adrenalin fueled arousal might help with climbing the dumbbell, repetitive training with working through the dumbbell and relaxed defocused states with sliding out the other side of the dumbbell.
