I want to try DFHT. I basically took this routine from the sticky and some other websites, but I made a few changes. I want to post it and make sure its set up right and I also have some questions about it. Questions are in
bold.
Here is the routine I have set up.
Loading
Upper Body Workout One: (Monday)
1. Barbell Bench Press (4x10 with the same weight for each set)
2. Dumbbell Press incline (3x8-12 same weight)
3. Heavy barbell rows (5x5)
4. Shrugs (2 sets 8-12 reps)
5. Side Laterial Raises (2 sets 8-12 reps)
6. Tricep Extension pushdowns (3x10-12 same weight)
7. Barbel curls, EZ bar curls(5 sets total 8-12 reps)
Why is there more chest work than back work? Can I add more back work here?

7. Heavy Squats (5x5 working up each set to a 5rm)
8. Good mornings (3x5 same weight or work up to 5rm)
9. Hamstring Curls (2x10)

4. Pull Ups 5 x 10

Again why is there more chest than back here?

What do I do for the deloading phase? How many exercises do I do and at what rep range?
How long should I rest in between sets on this routine?
How long do I load and deload?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. If anybody has done DFHT and you have the routine set up differently please post.
