I am guilty of not taking rest days, and not taking rest weeks. The only time I have ever not trained for a week in the past 5 years was when I had my knee surgery.

2 a days will be tough for me. I get to the office around 6:45am and leave between 4:30 - 5:00pm and usually go straight to the gym or relax for an hour before rugby at 6:30 (Depending on the day)

I train at two different gyms right now. one is Lifetime fitness (Just a normal gym) and the other is Ultimate Performance Center (and training gym for athletes where I've done most of my athletic training style workouts - power, agility, and speed development) and it has everything an athlete would need (boxes, bands, sleds, vertimax, TRX, everyting pretty much, I am pretty close with the owner and he's been a mentor of mine for years) he is so busy lately and my time constraints has made it tough, or I would use him for most of this. i have contemplated getting with my manager at work and seeing if I could take an extra 30 minutes to an hour at lunch and go to his gym, and I am not "hourly" so this might be a possibility.

Lifetime opens at 4:00 am and I have thought about going in before work for cardio and then hitting weights or other workouts in the afternoon, I just struggle with morning workouts (no energy, super hungry) but I have done it before.

Thank you for everyone's input! It is great having this avenue for more education.
Ugh....I had a feeling you were going to say that. Big mistake but I was guilty when I was your age of the same. (Back to the wish I knew then what I know now).

Do me a favor...starting Sunday cut your volume in half for the next week and the week after that take completely off from the gym and spend the time doing things I suggested above along with some stretching and rolling and maybe an ibuprofen cycle if you don't already take it.

After that we can form a plan. It sounds like you have good facilities to train at.
