Default Trouble with Deads...

Well yesterday I went to do my regular B workout for rippetoe which was:

Squats: 220lbs - 3x5
Military Press: 120lbs - 3x5
Deadlifts: 125kg(275lbs) - 1x5

and some accessory stuff...

Anyways, I've done that deadlift weight before but we just came off a deload and worked our way back to this weight for deads so it should not have been that hard. However, on the last rep I got so out of shape that I really strained my lower back. I should have just stopped when I felt it comin apart but my ego kicked in and I kept lifting. Ugh. Well it hurts lots today and I'm just wondering why this weight would seem so heavy?

Is it cause my squat weight is starting to get up there (relative to where it was) as well? Are heavy squats and heavy deads just not a good thing to do on the same day?

I dont' want this to happen again, my back is killin me.

You can check out my workout in the journal section if you need more info.
