You get "toned up" and "ripped" through DIET and exercise. (Notice the CAPS in DIET?) Eating 5 times a day is good. Eating WELL 5 times a day is better.

Arms don't need their own day.

Here's some things to think about:

Cardio is aerobic and tends to break down muscle (ever see a muscled marathon runner?). Lifting in anaerobic and will promote muscle gain.

An increase in lean muscle mass will help promote a higher metabolism which leads to increased fat burning every day, which, to me, outweighs the benefits of doing cardio once a week.

So I would ditch the cardio and do a 4-day upper/lower split:

1: upper
2: lower
3: off
4: upper
5: lower
6-7: off
