I would start off with the Squats then hit Deads because if You have the lower body and you have no upper body, you got a problem building...wait a minute. You have the upper body, and you have no legs, you got a problem building your legs. You have the upper...you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, the upper body, it is easier to build. So if you have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, it is easier to build the upper body. You have the upper body and you don't have the legs, you got a problem building the lower body... No, you don't understand. You have the upper body, but you don't have the lower body, you got a problem building downstairs. You got the up- legs on the bottom, it is easier to build on the top, so you don't have much as a problem. Yeah.

Start with the one you feel weakest with and need to improve on the most.

Amount of weight you used depends on many factors: rest time, calories, sleep

You can go heavy on both. Many powerlifters do a SBD day where they go heavy on all 3. They’re also probably in the gym for a couple of hours.

Neither, as I no longer do either exercise.

If you insist on doing both the same day, then start with deadlifts though.

Once you start getting decent strength it will be too physically taxing to do a full session on both squats and deads in the same workout.

But if you were to do it I'd switch which one to do first every other workout.
This answer has all the info you need.

This. Two big energy lifts. It would probably take like 2 hours to get a session of both in if you use adequate rest times. And the second exercise probably won't be as good as the first.

See I think its better to start with squats. If you do deadlifts first and fatigue your back GL with heavy squats.


Plus its better to 'fail' on a deadlift. You can just drop the weight. If you sh!t the bed on a squat the weight is on your shoulders.
