Deadlifts

[rookie]

Over the past few months I have not deadlifted. As a result my max has dropped. Still respectable at 315 today but tonight I feel it in my lower back something big time. I know it is DOMS setting in but I feel zero in my hammies. Is that a sign that I pulled too much with my back and came up out of the squat too soon?
Should my legs straighten and my back go upright in unison or should my legs straighten out first?

if you are keeping your low back in a good position then i wouldn't worry about where you are getting sore to much.

post up a vid if you want a better critique, its pretty hard convey deadlift technique with words.

Your legs and hips should extend in unison, another way to say that is that your chest and ass should raise at the same time, don't elt your ass come up first.

Frank is right that if your back is in a good(neutral/arched) position, I wouldn't worry. The rest is just getting you into a more efficient, stronger pulling position.

Hard to say w/o seeing it. You can't diagnose form via soreness though. Good reason to re-evaluate though, that's about it.
