First, i'm brazilian and my english is bad. Now, my weight is 108kg. I continue making 5x5 and I have a doubt: i'm with difficulty in the intensity phase, more necessarily in the Wednesday, because the training are very hard. Can I drop the squat of the Wednesday and do squats only monday (5x5) and the friday (1x5)?

Thank you!

Absolutely, that would work.

The intensity phase doesn't have squatting for 5 reps, it's for 3 reps, so you shouldn't be doing 5x5 on Monday and 1x5 on Friday anyway. That's the volume phase.

I assume you're doing the dual factor version? What week are you on?

Sorry, the correct is volume phase, as u said and yes, it's a DFHT.
This is my second week.
In weeks 1 and 2 I make squats of the Wednesday, but in weeks 3 and 4 it's hard. The fatigue is 'very big'.

Thank's.

If you're in week 2 and there's already too much fatigue, then you started with the weights too high. The idea is to get some decent high volume workouts in over a 4 week period, not burn out in week 2.

How long have you been training and how much are you lifting, just out of interest? How old are you and what do you weigh?

Which week are you in? Weeks 3 and 4 are expected to induce a lot of fatigue. You can spend a lot of time that week wondering where your life energy has gone.

Over time you learn to manage your own fatigue based on your tolerance levels and can make the judgement on whether to drop an exercise or add extra ones. Running a dual factor program, though, is intended to induce a lot of whole-body fatigue.
