I would do deadlifts on the last lower body day. You shouldn't have any problems putting it there.

Whether and when you burn out depends on what kind of weight you're putting up. So it's really your traning experience. However, keep in mind that when I said it's not necessary to "shock the muscles" I meant the idea of switching rep ranges every other week or something.

On an upper lower you could certainly do a different rep range for the two uppers and lowers. So one could be "heavy" and one lighter. A lot of people do lower reps one workout and higher reps the next. You would want to be more concerned with increasing the load on the lower rep days. The best thing to do is try it and see what kind of progress you make. If you make progress for say three weeks but then start having trouble you don't have to scrap it, you can just adjust it.

For instance, a lot of people think that if they do higher reps on the one day that automatically constitutes a "light" day. Certainly the weight is lighter. But if you are working to near failure then it is technically a heavy day. It's just heavyness of a different character. Lowering the reps a few would more constitute lightness in that case. That is not to say you can't work heavy every day. At least for a while.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
