If you are talking about regular deads then many do in the beginning after a warmup like hyper extentions.

I do them last, because after I'm done I usually want to puke, and feel sick for at least 20 minutes; same with squats. I could probably lift more if I did them first, but then the rest of my workout would go to hell because I'd be holding back.

I do them first after some Hyperextension sets to warmup. And I usually use overhand grip until I hit the point where I need the powerlifter grip to go up in weight.

I think it depends on how much you are developed in the areas that deads work the most. I worked out for a few months before I started doing deads and when I first started doing them, I was done. Way too sore to get good sets of rows and pull-ups in, so I started doing them last in my workout. After I started developing from them I started doing them first and get much better sets done because I'm not already sore. The rest of the workout is still harder after deads, but I can still manage quality sets.

And if you're worried about your grip, just switch your grip every set. Once you start going heavier it will become much harder to use both hands overhand, so I would suggest learning the over/under grip and switching every set or getting some straps.

well i do use straps but i still find that i can use heavier wieght using the over/under grip vs. the over/over grip, but i dont want to develope uneven! thats my only worry about the powerlifter grip! could this even happen tho?

also with 4-6reps should a belt be a must??? i dont go to absolute failure when doing deads becasue i dont want to hurt my back so is it really necessary???

If you switch your grip every set there shouldn't be a problem at all. Unless your trying to lift a very heavy weight, I wouldn't use the belt. Not using a belt will develop muscles that stabilize you and belts tend to keep your core from being worked as much during the excercise.

I use straps (broke the little finger on both hands so my grip is not up to holding that much weight with three fingers.)
I also use a belt on the last two sets. I lifted for a couple years without a belt and found that it was really thickening my waist and I was getting kind of boxy.
I do them first on lower back/hams day.
I know what symatech is talking about, so I take a five minute break to get my pulse down after deads before my next exercise. I typically look like I have taken a shower after them.
I be one sweaty mofo!

i was usins straps for awhile and i do not recommend it. my grip stregth really went to **** over the course of like 1.5-2 months using straps. i just use an overhand grip until i hit 225 (my second warmup set) and then use an alternating grip and change it every time.

First on back day. I use power lifter grip no staps or belt. I do reps until i go over 315. Then i do singles. Meaning I stand up after evey lift for 2secs bend down regrip and lift.
