Before we can make suggestions we need more info such as weight, reps, number of sets. Then we can make more appropriate suggestions.

Bench: 415 (1x1)
Deads: 565 (1x1)
A2G Squat: 425 (1x1)

Cardio sucks

Just at a quick look (need sets and reps...more info) but you are over training your arms.

Most important for size would be. Squat, deadlift, bench press, Rows and Presses. Your arms would only have to be trained once a week for about 6-8 sets.

TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"

+1 to overtraining arms. So many people make that mistake. When I started training arms ONCE a week doing only 3 set of BB Curls is when I saw the best results.

Cut back on the arms to no more than 3 sets for bi's/tri's once per week. Keep them heavy but you are already getting enough from other upper-body workouts to get your arms to grow.
