I answered both of your questions yesterday man. Here, I m going to paste the answer for you, since you missed it.

Generally, I believe that 5x5 is great for bulking. 5x5 means 25 reps in total and its considered high volume. High volume helps build strength and mass. Now, if you get into cutting mode, 5x5 might be a lot, because you are not eating as much. So you wont have the energy to perform in the gym, and you might not recover perfectly. I would decrease the volume to 3x5 for all basic exercises ( deadlifts, squats, presses..etc etc.) and I would add some cardio. Boring, simple cardio is fine. Just jump on a treadmill or a bike and do some cardio for 40 minutes or whatever you want :)
