Yup, when I'm running a straight HST cycle, I usually do my squats before I do my deads. I don't use much of a warm up for the deads because the squats already have my legs pumping.

cgutcu just out of curiosity, why do you do leg presses? Why not Squats? The Front Squat puts more strain in the quads, the ATG Back Squat really gets the quads, clutes and hams.

I've been squatting in the Smith because my gym also doesn't have a rack. Do you think it is better not to squat then to squat in the smith??

My opinion is that you should not squat with a smith machine.
However, you could (and what a great way to build total body strength at the same time) learn to clean and then squat what you clean for some reps between each clean.
However, the best advice would be to either find or create a gym with power racks and/or squat racks.

If you can't squat with a rack then a leg-press is still a good piece of kit for building muscle; just learn to use it correctly so it is safe and avoid pilling on loads of plates only to do tiny little partials (but I'm sure you don't do that). Try to set it up so that you get a decent range of motion and aim to keep your lower back tight during the movement rather than allowing it to round.
I would rather use a leg press than squat in a Smith machine UNLESS it was the kind of Smith machine that also allowed the bar to move in a horizontal plane (ie. forwards and backwards). I think some are capable of this.

No, the one at the gym is the regular, up and down smith. Its a pity, I was having a lot of fun with the Squats, but I guess you guys know best.
I might try to clean and squat (it has to be front squat, right?) but since there is no rack, there is also no easy way out if I fail the rep.

The Shirley Machine forces your body to lift in an altogether unnatural straight line. Not only do you learn to lift improperly, but when the weight gets heavy, you can get injured.
BTW, even in a power rack, there is no easy way out when you fail a rep. In any case the bar is going to clatter -- whether to the pins of the rack or to the floor. It is embarrassing, but rarely life-threatening...
