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.
