5x5 workout. Calorie deficit. HIIT

Really?
I had the alarm pulled on me because my DB's clanged together when doing some shoulder presses and for some occasional grunts when I was going for muscle failure. They pretty much told me to cool it.

You're 6'3, you don't need to work out to pick up girls like us short guys do

I go to one (along with another gym) because it is right by my work. Supposedly it is the largest in the country(or at least that is what they tell people signing up.) It is really laid back and there are a lot of really deadicated in shape people that workout their. The dumbells go up to 75 which is fine for me to incline bench. (I pre exhaust with weighted dips and flys first) They also have some good hammer strength machines as well. It is definitely not the best gym for hardcore lifting but it gets the job done. It really gets some undue hate from people that have never been in one. If you know what you are doing you can get a great workout there.

Yeah I can definitely get a good workout in when I'm in a pinch, like when out of town. Maybe even when I'm on a high-rep workout routine. But mostly, it's not worth adjusting my training habits to go there full time. I like the convenience of knowing I have it as a backup plan I suppose.

I'm sure a lot has been said in 14 pages but as long as you eat relatively healthy and at a deficit, you'll lose weight. No matter what workout program you are on, its going to be really hard to have your muscle gain outpace your fat loss, or even come close, if you are actually eating the right amount of calories.
I find much better results with more extreme calorie deficits. 200-300 under isn't gonna do shite. I prefer 500-750. Also if you don't exercise or lift on a day, you should cut your calories that day by ~300.

So on the days you're not eating as many carbs and eating more protein, that's going towards muscle retention
We are comparing different things. I am comparing maintaining muscle from my bulk maintenance to my cut. The boost of carbs in the middle of the week helps with fuel to preserve muscles
Although if you ate the same amount of cals in the same ratios all week would be the same.
The cycle just helps with maintaining while dropping the water retention some
This is what has worked for me and proved to provide results for me. I have had a great journey in fitness and dropped a lot of weight/added muscle along the way. But then, everyone's body responds differently to different things

5x5, eat less
That was easy

lifting heavy weight, at a high intensity over short intervals will get you shredded.
Run some sprints after if you arent convinced.

Can you help me with this, bro?

Today I need an alternative for seated calf raises and leg press calf raise.
I try to do seated calf raises with dumbbells but I honestly don't feel anything when I do them.
And, I can't find a good alternative for the leg press calf raise online.
I guess I can just do standing calf raises with dumbbells again. Maybe change it up by turning my toes in?
I don't have a gym membership anymore and this workout is tonight. It's Week 1, Day 4 of that Jim Stoppani's 12 Weeks to Size. Tonight is Shoulders/Traps/Calves. I'm having issues with the calf portion.
sorry just saw this. look the people with some of the best calves you will see are ballerinas. Do what they do an do a couple hundred bw calf raises. if you can do it while bending over at the waist while doing them(donkey calf raises) even better.
or take a small piece of a 2x4 or something similar, hold a weight any ways you can and do them.
to take the place of the specific ones you have listed I would do standing calf raises with dbs using some kind of block then donkey calf raises as i described. If you can figure a way to add weight to the donkey calf raises even better.
if you find a block to use try doing 5 sec hold at the top then a 15 sec stretch at the bottom on each rep and do one balls to the wall set where you can not even do another rep if your life depended on it. This is DC style calf training and what I have found to be the most effective ways for me outside of doing close to a thousand bw raises spread throughout the day.

2800/ day is a lot unless you are very active

Experience and all the weight lifting literature I've read, really. If there is a way to use a primary 5x5 workout program to shred some pounds, I'm all ears.
The way that I look at it:
3-5 is power building
8-10 is strength
12-15 shred
On the bodyspace app, I'm doing a "spring clean" weight loss program which is primarily shredding, and my program doesn't ever have me going below 8 reps on anything. HIIT training works well with my shredding workouts.
If I wanted size, I'd probably do a lot of doubles on the bench press or some kind of other workout that aimed for high volume and low reps.
shedding pounds and adding weight is because of your food!!!
I can do a 12-15 routine and gain mass.
I can do a 3-5 and shred.
its not the workout. its you food intake.
i do the same routine and can gain 30 lbs and turn around with the same routine and lose 30lbs.

Not to mention that 3-5 would be for strength, and 8-12 would be hypertrophy

It is by far the most important.
