Go out there and pick up something heavy.

Oh we have an ego lifter.....
Deadlifts should not be performed by beginners until some experience and some lower back strength has been achieved.
And for your knowlege, anyone trying to build muscle deadlifts should be done at the end of the back routine. because they take more strength and energy reserves than any other exercise.
Deadlifts should not be done first in a routine, but should be done last, you will find that many top bodybuilders do the deadlift last in their routines becase it maintains maximum spinal erector strength for the rowing etc but pre-exhausts the upper back before moving onto the deadlifts, that way the deadlifts are more of an overall back exercise...
