Rest day (lower back injury)

Went to gym and did some foam rolling, dynamic stretching, and some lifting practice. After reading Starting Strength and watching the corresponding DVD, I've realized that I need to adjust my form on deadlift. Need to focus on keeping the hip high, setting the chest, and removing all "slack" from the lift. Also, need to remember to activate the lats and use them to keep the bar close to the body. Remember: stance, grip, shins, chest, heels.

Worked up to sets of five on deadlift at 185#. Should be able to handle a set of five at 225# on Tuesday.
