Sure, just don't forget your Tren.

If you want to fail after 1 week sure.

Sure train more than a pro athlete. You may last a week, after that just do starting strength program as stated in the book.

No. You really shouldn’t be doing HIIT that often. Even if you were not already doing 5x5. HIIT is like a intense lifting session. Sub some LISS instead. Training your aerobic system would also help with recovery. Has different and longer lasting benefits, and won’t drain you like HIIT. Read the free pdf, Myth of HIIT. HIIT is extremely over rated, but has a time and place, AFTER you have a large aerobic base built

You seem to be doing the same thing every new skinny fat lifter is doing. Going fucking overboard, overtraining and will, therefore, lose interest very soon. The beginners 5x5 program is designed for beginners in that its a 3 day per week program. Don't alternate. stick to the 5x5 is great for starters, do cardio sure but keep it light. The effort you are planning in putting in will not make that much of a difference rather make more effort on the diet and rest properly.

Go watch 1 episode of the biggest loser and you will get what I'm saying. You cant throw people in the deep end like that and expect them to keep with any program for the rest of their life. Start light learn the form well, go up in weight every session when you hit a plato on all the lifts consider a different program (but still do the same lifts and add some isolation exercises in if you think your body needs them)

There are many studies but doing HIIT in between your heavy lifts will hurt your gainz. I do some cardio sure but it's only on rest days and it's not HIIT, I just do it for cardiovascular health. I have lost no more or less fat with cardio, Weights and heavy compound lifts have been the best fat burner by far

I started 5x5 and on my lifting days I would also have conditioning workouts for my team. It was awful in the beginning but your body gets used to it. I stacked my lifting and practices on the same day so that i could still have rest days

I do not recommend doing both at the same time. It's great you want to go balls to the wall but you need to start at a realistic point and move from there.

Alternating a squat heavy program with hiit sprinting for 7 days as a beginner.

I'm sure this will go well.
