Hey Jack, I have a deadlift question for you. Yesterday at the gym, I was going for a 2RM on my deadlift. I pulled the bar from the floor and my lower back came out of extension pretty far and I immediately felt a slight injury. My back is sore. I feel that it is a minor injury and it will heal up just fine. Here's my question: Should I give my back a rest this coming week and skip my deadlift work sets? I was thinking that maybe I should just do my warm-ups to give my back a rest. What do you think?

Usually this sort of thing is a minor injury, despite most peoples' tendencies to treat it as a catastrophe.
I would definitely ice it, thoroughly, several times a day, but not directly before or during your workout. As for rest, I would see how you feel after your squats. Heavy squats (and presses for that matter) will give your back a workout, so if you feel you have had enough, then skip the deads. If you feel you can take a little more, do the warm-ups.
When you decide to start doing work sets again, start with a 2-jump reset. So if you have been making five pound jumps, make your next work set 10 pounds lighter than your last.
