This has led to less cadence improvement and more torque, so legs are quite beat out.

Since Feb. is only 3 months! Lifting is a long game, measured in years. Are you still progressing? if not, then up the weights with same pattern, or otherwise increase intensity. Such as decrease time between sets, or between exercises, change bar speed, various supersets.

3x10 is a GREAT pattern particularly at first! It is a great way to allow your connective tissue (ligaments and tendons)to increase in strength and flexibility. Connective tissue is much slower responding, but usually starts out stronger then musculature. So it is easy for your muscles to start out weaker and rapidly get much stronger than connective tissues setting you up for injuries. Give it another 6-9 months, taking care to not increase weights greater then recommended percentages. The percentage increase change (lessen) as you get more time under the bar. If you feel you can progress faster then percentage weight increases, this is where the other intensifiers come in...

Lifting before cardio! AWESOME! Hats off to you!
