Firstly, I'd suggest you do cardio after training, but keep it at a low intensity. Keep your energy for training. Vigorous cardio will impair your gains if done for a significant length of time. You can stay lean and fit without high intensity cardio. If you insist on doing it, do it away from training, but be aware you'll have to up your carb intake if you want to gain.

You say keeping fit is important yet you include chocolate and 2 bags of crisps a day. This seems slighly odd to me.

Could you give more details about your training? Why do you do arms twice per week? Do you mean tris and bis seperately?
i say hardgainer because before i started training i could eat and drink almost anything without putting weight on, it seems to me like the weight i have put on is because of increased muscle mass. I have just purchased a weight gain powder hopefully this will help. http://www.bodyshapersfitness.com/pr...?idproduct=922 Before i was just taking whey protein drink with very little carbs etc etc.
maybe your right crisps and chocolate are not the best snacks for a healthy lifestyle, i'll swap those for nuts or fruit.
I recently started to train arms twice weekly incorporating both bi's and tri's i used to train them once a week but they seemed to be stuck at the same size.
sorry for my earlier reply i was going to write all this but i lost track of time and had to go out, thx for the advice invisiblekid...!
