Changing up the workout a bit.

So, tonight I changed up my workout a bit.
I've been using "Starting Strength" for a couple months.
I think I am going to drop the dead lifts and the power cleans...
After several weeks - I am just not getting the movements correct. This has resulted in kind of a sore lower back on each of my rest days.
I can't get the "jump/stomp" bit for the power cleans. It just feels awkward. I also can't seem to keep my back from "rounding" in either of them. And when I concentrate on very strict form - I feel like I am falling over backwards.
I'm going to revisit this in a few weeks...
For now, I'm removing them. In their place - well - their time slot... I'm going to add back extensions, curls, pull-ups and chin-ups.
I can't really afford to hurt my back...
