im on the 5x5 thingy and on wendsday, i do:
Squat, Military press and Deadlift in that order (same order as it says you should do the 5x5 on the page)
however, latley ive been putting in pullups after the deadlift. yesterday when i did pullups i did alot less than i usually do, i was thinking it could be the increese i had in deadlift lead to my forearms being shot before i got to the pullups. so what im asking is, if it would be ok to maybe do pullups first on wendsday or what? any other advice to what i can do? or other reasons why my pullups stopped at 5kg hanging from the belt when i usually do 7.5k
 
The deadlifts will wear you out, especially if you go heavy. You should stick to the pullups after like you have it, unless you are going to do some really light deadlifts. If you do the pullups first you'll use up some energy that could be put to deadlifts. Can you do the pullups a different day? Or possibly get as many as you can (pullups) and then go to pulldowns to make it a little easier.
 
pulldown is not an option as pullups are alot better, atleast so ive heard. and i know the deadlifts wear me out, thats probobly why i dident pullup so good yesterday. and i cant do the pullups on a different day either. i guess i could just go as heavy as i can on pullups on wendsday since it will probobly vary alot due to the deadlifts

Yes I know pullups are better, but if you cant do any, pulldowns are an option.

On days that I've done heavy deadlifts (2 rep max) I could only do about one pullup afterward. Why can't you do them on a different day anyway?
 
got other lat and upper back work on the other days. and its not a problem doing the pullups, i just cant add as much weight, last wendsday, i added 7.5 kg after deadlifting, yesterday i only managed 5.
