After the 5 weeks, I will drop the squats on tuesday, and work 3x5 for the rest of the lifts for 4 weeks, alternating heavy/light between sets.
Can't see a dual factor happening without a squat rack but this is not a program you screw with. You either do it or you don't. If you can't squat 1.5 then there is no need for you to do a dual factor program. You can build up your squats using single factor. Sounds like you should either do a 3x5 or a single factor 5x5 but I really can't imagine it without a rack since shit is gonna get really heavy.

Look here for Madcow's write up's of 5x5

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
