Ok, thanks. I put up about 4-6 reps. That's what I keep reading. So that's what I do.
I'll add more cardio. I keep reading that cardio first thing in the morning, after you wake up and before breakfast, is best. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
Thanks for helping.

The thing is, there are conflicting theories on this subject but here they are:
Some will argue that doing the cardio in the morning on an empty stomach targets the fat storage quicker since you do not have those built up carbs during the day to burn off before you get into your fat energy usage. Others will say that doing cardio on an empty stomach will force your body to use precious muscle as a source of energy. I happen to feel (and this is just my opinion and I an NOT a nutritionist) is to do it in the morning (if possible) with a lil bit of food in you, like a bowl of oatmeal.
What it REALLY boils down to is that you are doing the cardio, and THAT in itself is going to increase your gains immensely. My best advice is to do the cardio whenever it is a good time for you so that you wont get burnt out or feel forced to do it. Cardio to some people is like visiting a dentist... Personally I love it. Not because I am a masocist but because it is hard to beat the feeling you get after a great cardio session
