Yeah, once you've done single factor for a spell, you'll have a great handle on programs that I consider the next building block up like Dual Factor. If you've kept up a log of what you did for single factor, then dual factor should be easy to start. All you're basically doing is inputting what you feel are your TRUE 5x5 1x5 RM's in week 3, reverse plan back to week one, and add another 5-10 pounds for week 4. If someone dicked the dog and overestimated week 3, then carrying it over to week 4 should be a no-brainer. Once the deload week is over (week 5), then all bets are off for the intensity phase. I remember adding 20+ pounds for some exercises like bench and deadlifts like it was nothing.

The intensity phase is what's key for some big gains. That'll be the difference maker that seperates single and dual factor. After the intensity phase is a perfect time to load up on DFHT. Reason being because you can input what you need to specifically address any weaknesses you may have from the full 5 x 5 program.
