Which routine? 5x5 or DFST

Okay im sure you know what DFST is, you can see it at http://www.bodybuilding.net/powerli...rength-training-dfst-2780.html?highlight=DFST

Im just under 90kg and around 15% and 5 foot 1, been training seriously for 1 1/2 years and gained about 15kg so far.

I was gonna do 5x5 but just found DFST and it looks like a routine id enjoy doing. What do you think would be the best one to do? Go straight into DFST, or doing 5x5 followed by DFST?

I would go with the 5x5, you are still a new lifter. the 5x5 will help you train and push the core lift numbers up.

They are both solid training methods. Stick to a 5x5-type layout and build your base strength.

You need to read some more though. These are a lot more than "routines." DFHT . . . the "dual factor" part tells you something. IMHO, it's more of an advanced layout and you don't need that volume unless you can't grow without it. Read madcow's geocities site (linked in the training vault sticky).
