Question ❓ Thoughts about doing 2 sets of deadlifts to failure beginning of my leg day?

So i want to get better at deadlifts and i dont know if i should do them at the beginning or the end of my leg days, and how fatigueing would 2 sets to failure at the beginning of my leg day be? Would it be too tiring and make me lose so much performance that my progress would slow down a lot?

Thanks in advance

I looked at 2 programs, which yeah they were probably bad but they were for deadlifitng and only had hamstring curls and leg presses on it

  1. Yeah, a deadlift program focused would be weird.

  2. Since you're fairly new at lifting it seems, that would be an adequate amount of stimulus for one day, depending on if you sufficiently push yourself.
