I guess the take home point for you since you aren't lifting at a gym is to go balls to the wall for at the most 3 on, 1 off (cardio is ok) and keep going as long as you can. Once you start feeling the warning signs of overtraining:
1. very tired all day
2. dragging ass
3. slight loss of appetite
4. weights start to decrease. What you used to do you can't no more.
If any and all's the case, just take a week of more rest and decreased volume. I don't believe in taking a full week off. Your CNS will heal fine with the reduced volume and frequency. Alot of people are so worried about overtraining it limits their potential. Again, just watch for the warning signs. If it happens pull back the reigns for a week or two. ;)
