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...
