Happy Back Friday everyone 
Had a crap nights sleep, felt bad this morning. Got pumped up on the way to the gym and felt amazing the whole workout, funny that.
BW Pullups 8 8 7 5 - Slow negatives and dead hangs. Fuark. My strength runs out fast though.
BW Chins 8 7 6 - "
Deadlifts 60kg 8 8 80kg 6 i think but i was resetting between each rep. Then i did some at 100kg from the first catcher, 12" maybe? Could be higher. Then more from the floor @ 60kg. Back felt good, feels like i've worked it but it's far from the bad feel i get on squats.
Plate loaded row 40kg/side 8 6 6
Dips BW+15kg 8 8 8 BW 8 8
Skullcrushers 30kg 8 8 8
Rope Pulldowns 43kg 8 8 8
Daily dose of hnnng

More rowing needed!
I like your approach with the deads. I think it's clear that you need to build some supporting mass, and you need to dance around the line without going too far and aggravating your problem.
Have you done really strict RDLs? It's the best way I've found to coach flat back deads with a super braced core.

Good work on the deadlifts, just take it easy and build it up depending on your issue. Taken me ages to finally get to a decent stage

BG split Squats never feel too bad when doing them its when the DOMS creep up on you during the day and then when you wake up the next morning!
Great exercise though, I really feel they've helped loads with my squats in general.

Are you going to keep doing these with increasing weight? In for inconveniently jacked legs.
