Bro, i wanna make things clear. You're taking one month off from working out just for cardio? I'll tell you that 80% of cutting is influenced by diet.
*
If you are taking a month off from training, and you were to engage in high intensity cardio at the same time, you can kiss good bye to most of your muscles. I can assure you that your lifts after that particular month would be rock bottom. Good luck.

then what should we do?
*
You should not stop working out or lighten the weight, you should continue doing what you would normally do in the weight room and ADD cardio as an ADDITIONAL routine. Never should you substitute weight with cardio completely.

Ahh...Now I understand it better. So I'll just stick to current weights and only add cardio.

But do I have to still take post and preworkout?
*
Depends on whether you are doing cardio and weight at the same session. If you are doing cardio on its own, I wouldn't recommend pre-workout shake/meal since the goal is to minimize glycogen storage before you engage in cardio. As for post, a can or 2 of 100 plus will get the job done.

You can have your usual pre/post meal for your normal workout session.

hmm...what would be optimal? cardio pre or postworkout?

If you were to do both in the same session, it's better to do cardio after weights.

if I do both in the same session should I take post workout shake?

I go to top gym, right on top of 7-11 opposite the secondary school.

Which school? The one near MPAJ?

sometimes when the equipment gets hogged. why, does it affect performance/progress?

It's good to change the order, especially for deads and squat. After heavy squating you wouldn't be able to DL as much as you could.

Do you deload the weights completely? Lower to weights completely on the ground and re-grip before you lift it up again.

no, more like lower till weights touch the ground and lift back up
*
When it touches the ground, reset your grip. But remember to keep your back tight.

i thought only for pendlays we deload and re grip, for DL we should just touch the group and explode back up.

correct me if i'm wrong. i saw ronnie coleman doing it that way as well as benedikt
*
If your grip is giving up, by all means re-grip. If your grip is fine, then you can do away with it.

oh yea forgot to ask: if I'm doing cardio postworkout should I omit the postworkout shake? although it seems to be the most important shake
*
Take your post workout shake after your cardio. Not immediately after your weights.

will it get better over time as my forearms develop?

Yes it will. At the mean time, just reset your grip when necessary.
