Fine line between warming up and shooting yourself in the ass as far as the max attempt. Besides some loosening up stuff, some dynamic stretching, glute activation, shit like that, I've never felt the need to warmup for squats with anything BUT squats. To me it comes down to this...whatever you do first prioritizes that exercise.
