Do you feel weak or something like that? Can`t you increase the weights for your exercises?
Its hard to say if you overtraining yourself. You cant say that with only reading your plan.
No problems in increasing weight or getting progress, no overtraining occur, but attention if you notice that there are more signs for an overtraining, take a pause or decrease your volume.
Unless you really have shit endurance or sleep 2 hours a night, you can’t overtrain with this workout. I mean you do have 28 working sets on your upper body day, but they’re spread out between 5 muscle groups. There’s no way performing 6 exercices a week for bi’s tri’s and shoulders is gonna overtrain you.
I’d say try it, and be aware of eventual symptoms but honestly if your diet is properly followed, there’s no way you can overtrain with this. Don’t hold back.
Overtraining is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:
depression
inability to sleep
joint aches
loss of appetite
lack of progression
perpetual DOMS
If you suffer from many of these simultaneously, you may be overtraining. The solution though, is usually to check your diet, sleep patterns, and lifestyle before looking at your training.
Generally beginners can get away with training more often with higher volume because their CNS isn’t that developed and they can’t tax it as much/recruit as many muscle fibres and/or do as much damage to their muscle fibres per lift as more experienced guys can.

Off and on for about nine years. I’ve already put on about 50lbs over where I was when I started.
