Am I overworking myself?

I'm a Division I athlete and I need a huge summer (I'm going into my senior year). I want to start doing p90x but I still have to follow my lifting program. But I have been on this lifting program for three years and have not seen the results in my body I want. So I wanted to start it to get great results. But also during the summer I go to a basketball camp for like three hours a day working on my skills. May I be overworking myself?

And if I'm going to lift and do P90x what should I lift on what days of the P90x program?

From your last post it sounds like your problem is aesthetic and not really relevant to your play on the court. If that's the case, is it even worth the risk of screwing-up your off season by throwing different programs together and hoping they work? This is especially the case if you don't have a good sense of where your body's fatigue and overtraining boundaries are.

Are your S&C coach and school nutritionist aware of your concerns and what you're thinking about doing? I'd have to think either of them wouldn't be too pleased if you were freelancing, especially if you hadn't talked with them about it first.
