Really? 6'3" , 180 is time to cut? Is this real life? I would think 6'3" 240 would be time to start thinking about maintenance.

Find a beginner routine if you are a beginner. Find an intermediate program if you are an intermediate. Then you can adjust based on what works for you. There are tons on here. Also forget the split...

Maybe try an intermediate routine. This looks like too much work.

Do a beginner routine and eat a lot. Like I mean a lot. Do this for years.

Or you could add reps (gasp!) until you think you can go up 10lbs. I know it's blasphemy to adjust a 5x5 but progression doesn't have to always be more weight, could be more reps or less rest etc...

Q8: Why are there no regular Deadlifts in this routine, only stiff-legged deadlifts? I feel like a boss doing deadlifts

Man I don't know why I haven't been doing back off sets the whole time...

I agree with these. If you are aiming for upper body volume, why not do 5/3/1 Boring But Big or Juggernaut Method or maybe Texas Method with benching 2x week. Doesn't make much sense to talk about...

I just posted this in a similar thread.

3000 calories for 225lb man who is lifting?? That can't be right.

Also what did you lifts begin at and what are your lifts at now?

Another idea is to run your LP on a 2x a week schedule instead of 3x. If you don't mind your lifts going up slower.
So basically this...
