You might need to eat more.
Or do more sets, howmany sets are you doing, and which exercises, etc.
More info. please.

calf raises
squats
flat bench
overhead press and sometimes lateral raises
barbell rows
barbell curls
skull crushers
wrist curls
all 3 sets of 5
calories are ~constant throughout 4 cycles and have made gains during 15s and 10s just not 5s
other hst principles are used as well. strict increased load, SD, 3 workouts per bodypart per week a bunch of creatine and protien, etc..

more food during 5s then.
Calories should not be constant. They should increase as you gain weight. Did you gain or lose weight? If lost weight, you need more calories.
Routine is okay. Good focus on the compounds, you don't need so many sets for the little things like wrist curls though.

thanks to everyone thus far!
i did increase the calories slightly for weight gain so i guess constant isnt the right word.
going into the summer i want to keep the fat to a minimum. should i just accept the fact that i will lose size if i am not willing to bulk til after summer

Just a wee small point - are you actually doing calf raises first? If so I would shift them to last or thereabouts. You need all the help of stabiliser muscles (like your calves) when squatting heavy during 5s. Hammering your calves first is not a good way to get the best out of your squats - or any other exercise that requires good balance for that matter (eg. presses).
How do you know you are losing size? Did you use a tape or did you guess? Have you gotten weaker?
If you lose fat, you will be smaller when your shirt is on but you will appear larger when your shirt is off.
