first question to you is how do you spend 2 to 3 hours at the gym without cardio?
I am in the process of putting on mass right now as well.
Generally I barely last an hour without cardio..
You should be taking in TONS of calories to gain mass.. I have no idea how this will work if you are trying to lose weight at the same time..
You should be going to the gym around 4 days a week with 3 day rest..
I go mon, tues and rest wed, then thurs and friday and rest weekends..
Try working 2 muscle groups at a time..
tri and chest on 1 day.. back and shoulders on another, legs on 1, bis and core on a day etc...
I have noticed large gains with 3 sets of max weight of around 5 reps..
every other week you should then go up in weight by around 5 pounds..
By the end of an hour, you should be dead.. like not being able to move your arms or legs etc.. take a minute or so between sets and drink lots of water..

Other than that I dont really know what else to tell you lol.. I am not a bodybuilder or anything so I am just telling you what is currently working for me..
I am 6'1 and went from 160 to 170 in 2 weeks with this diet and workout... and am still going..

let me know what other questions you have...
