Thanks! So it sounds like my issue is that I'm not splitting the workouts to accommodate this process.

I just read an article last night saying the same thing! Though, I've read articles saying the opposite and some saying that it doesn't matter! I do my workouts cardio first, then weights. Sometimes it has to do with what's actually open in the gym. As in, if I don't grab the cardio equipment asap, I'll not get a chance at all later. I'll try and start doing the workouts in reverse to see how that fares.

P.S. Don't make Monday to be "Chest Day" for you, as you will have a hard time finding free chest equipment. This is because Mondays are "International Chest Day" for ALL MEN, EVERYWHERE, AT ALL GYMS. Just drop in to any gym on a Monday and see if I'm right!

LOL! I'll have to check that theory tomorrow!
