    The soreness in your lower back may be normal if you've never deadlifted before. It could be doms soreness from attempting it for the first time. Is it a sharp, localized pain, like a pinched nerve? Or a general overall muscle soreness?

    You said your back was arched? But not rounded down? Correct?

    This crossed my mind as well.
    Lower back DOMS for me feel.. "different" than other muscle DOMS, partly because it's not an area that I've really used much in that way.

    Agreed. And a lifting belt really helps with the DOMS for me, when doing heavy deads.
