How long have you been doing this and how is your recovery so far? Be careful, as a lot of people would be susceptible to overtraining from something like this. Try to take week every 5 or 6 weeks of doing just low to medium intensity exercises.

I've been working this routine for a couple months now so it's probably time for a changeup. Recovery is great. What's the best way to tell if you are overtraining?

You sound good then :) Usually, chronic fatigue, increased muscle and joint soreness, loss of strength are all common symptoms of overtraining. It's just the bodys way of saying "Gimme a break!!"

If you like the routine so far you should try switching it up a bit to confuse your body's muscles. Or do a full week of lower intensity so that your body can fully recover its CNS before going back into full intensity again.
