Without knowing the specific problem with your back I would suggest you should try front squats. You can probably rock them all day, once you get used to it, and not hurt your back much if at all. If you combine front squats with posterior chain training designed to promote hip extension over lumbar extension, get the glutes working, etc. you will undoubtedly work wonders for you back problems.

I would suggest, when you are ready, to do RDL's (Romanian Deadlfits) first before getting into deads. They will work better to get the hips working and promote range of motion.

Check out hip flexor flexibility. Also hamstrings could be short/tight.

Good luck on everything.

Just a few ideas. I could probably give more as more info becomes available.

Not much use in doing speed work after a bunch of repping as you have on those bench days. A little repping can acutally help but by the time you get to the DE work on those days all the fatigue products are already reducing motor unit effeciency. Best to do the speed work first or after a little max work. Either way can work well depending on the person. Or of course you can just do speed work on it's own day.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
