Need some advice. I recently switched my routine to the starting strength program (I'm on session 8), so far I love it except for one thing. Dead-lifts - I don't have anything against the exercise except that I must be doing it wrong.

The last two sessions with dead-lifts I've made it all the way to the 2nd to the last rep then I lose my form (focus) and hurt my lower back. It happened last Thursday and just again tonight, I probably should have waited a couple more days I just hate missing workouts. Anyone have any tips or advice on how to keep this from happening? What should I do in the meantime as I'm likely out of commission for a week or so?
