Yep, you are definitely overtraining. You have to keep a very important point in mind. Working out causes micro tears in the muscle cells. The muscle attempts to compensate by growing as it heals. Imagine for a second that you scrape your arm. Very soon a scab forms that bring tissue and nutrients to that area to bring about healing. If every morning when you woke up, you ripped the scab off, you could prevent healing indefinately.
You grow when you rest. Not when you work out. Working out too often is like continually tearing the scab off. In our impatient minds we think, if I can gain 10 pounds in a month buy working out 3 days a week, I could gain 20 by working out 6 days a week. Unfortunately that just isn't so. Our nervous system can only take so much. After that threshhold it is like writing bad checks on your checking account. You might still have checks, but you are out of money, so now you are actually going backward.
If you have access to workout facilities 7 days a week, my recommendation would be to do your current routine 3 days in a row, then take 2 days off and then repeat. So, you are doing a 3 and 2 schedule.
If you don't have access 7 days, then I would break the routine down farther so that you are working out 4 days a week and workout on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and Friday. Rest on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. JMHO
