It’s normal, it works the lower back a lot.
When you’re first starting out you’ll really feel it in your spinal erectors, take things slow (relatively light weight) until you get accustomed to the exercise and your form is spot-on.
Flexibility is VERY import, try these: http://www.T-Nation.com/readArticle.do?id=1856085
Your legs are MUCH stronger than your back (the weak link), so naturally you’re going to stress those muscles a lot more.
Poke around the archives and you’ll find tons of information on here.
that wekipedia site you gaeve me is very useful for not only learning deadlifts but on how to do other workouts properly i like the info. and pacell i also like the third world squat idea my legs are new to free weights so i might be sitting like this in my seat lol.
