so here are some things about me for your consideration...maybe i am doing too much cardio or my diet is too strict...i dunno, please comment...

i am 22, 6'3", 180lbs...i eat 3000 cals a day, 41% protein, 44% carbs, 15% fats. the only things i limit are salt and sugar, but i still get a little of each.

as for workout:
monday cardio: 25 mins total...5 min warm-up, then 20 mins. alternating 1 minute intervals of 10.5mph and 5mph...then i lift arms for about 1.5 hours
tuesday cardio: 30 mins on elliptical (hill climp program)...then lift legs
wednesday cardio: 15 mins total...30 second sprints at 12mph with 30 seconds rest between each one (15 total)...then lift shoulders
Thursday cardio: same interval program as monday...then lift back
Friday cardio: same sprint program as wednesay...then lift chest
Saturday cardio: 45 mins on elliptical (crosstrainer program)...no lift
Sunday: no cardio, no lift

am i doing too much cardio? or am i not eating properly? can either of these cause the test. problem?

You certainly do a lot of cardio, however this still does not explain that low test. 3000 cal/day is good so IMO there is something elso going on. I'm thinking depression, tumor, overtraining, allergies, lack of sleep etc.

If I were you I would stop all cardio, and lifting for a couple of weeks and let you body catch up. I'm afraid that you need to self diagnose by removing things from your life and see what results that yields. Going to the gym has no effect so I do not see why at this moment you would go. Are you on some kind of medication?
