I need to learn how to not overtrain

[kelkel]

Try going to an every other day schedule for awhile. I'm almost 56 and at some point you have to realize that you're not recovering and gaining like you did when you were young. I take at least 1 day off between sessions now. Hardly ever do consecutive days. My weights continue to go up. I have fewer injuries and random colds or illnesses. No matter what you want to believe more is not always better, especially as we age. You may really enjoy going to the gym but if you're doing more harm than good something needs to change.
I benched 585 back when I was in my mid 30s. I've done 600 in my 50s. My training today would be considered minimalistic compared to 20 years ago. I spend maybe 50-60% of the time training now as I used to but I'm still gaining. Train smarter and you'll be much happier with the results.
Also if you're catching a bunch of colds back off the everyday cardio. You may like doing it but it can be very counterproductive.

Could not have said it better myself. I've trained EOD for probably a dozen years now and it's the absolute best thing I've done as I've aged when it comes to overall health and continuing to make reasonable gains.

Personally I train as follows:

Monday: Chest, Bi's and Tri's
Wednesday: Legs
Friday: Back and shoulders

I don't do cardio but you can see how easy it would be to insert it on your days off. I'm always fresh and ready for workouts and you actually can have more of a life. Less is definitly more as we age. Stop beating yourself to deat Izicc!
