Hopefully you'll be able to squeeze out 4 weeks more of HST. I wouldn't recommend doing DFT because you'll be going from peaking with the HST weight to lowering the load for DFT to compensate for the added volume. If anything, you'd be MUCH better served with single factor 5x5 hands down! My vote goes to the DFHT. IMO, once you hit your 5 RM with HST, deload for a week, THEN head into the DFHT. Your muscle endurance might have suffered a bit from sticking with the 4-6 RM from the HST, so you'll need to do a very managable first week of DFHT after the deload. For the deload, I would just hit the gym twice for that week, doing two full body's or whatever you want. When you finally do get to DFHT, a very good idea for you would be to do ONE loading week, then deload. Remember that you're moving from 3 full body's with submaximal loads and low volume to 4 workouts (two upper, two lower, higher volume) and higher intensity (% to 1 RM). Your goal is to build up your fitness level to handle 2, hopefully 3 weeks loading, 1 deload.
