Osu! tmd,
If I may make so bold ....
Looking at your post on 'my current training' and the one above, I think you're doing far too much. If you add in 65 hour weeks and family life, I think you'll soon struggle to give everything your full attention.
The most important exercise factor is intensity, followed by regularity. Volume is a poor third, as once you train over a certain amount, the body struggles to recover properly so progress will be stiffled. The end result is a feeling of real frustration at best or if you're unlucky - stress induced injuries.
As to priorities. For us dads it's got to be Family:Work:Training. If you burn out or get injured and lose your job, your family suffers. Not a great result! As to fighting again, if you re-jig your routine you'll feel stronger each time you train - a better build up physically and easier on the head. If you overtrain and fry your CNS you'll always feel tired, not strong.
As a young single man I regularly pushed into overtraining and took time off work to my boss's displeasure. I ended up really overdoing it. I would never make the same mistake again. PM me if you feel I can help, or to tell me to mind my own business! Up to you.
Gary
