Do you go max effort on both lifts?

Have tried that in the past but the body broke down pretty quickly. Its the sole reason I stopped Starting Strength. When the weights got heavy doing both on the one day totally drilled me.

Currently I deadlift every Friday, warmup to one single set of 5. Friday is my intensity day so I likewise warmed up to a single set of 5 on squats as well.

If everything is going well, both the squats and deadlift set will be a new 5RM / personal best. I have hit more PB squats recently than PB deads, but I am ok with that.

Always first. Heaviest most intense first.

Why in hell would you do it last?

The argument being less load so it's safer versus you already being fatigued so it's more dangerous. Some people side with the former.

I might do some rack pulls in the middle or at the end of the workout on an 8-12 rep per set back day (as I was like to train lower back last for obvious reasons), but on a heavy 5x5 as part of an upper or lower body day, it would be first.
