I seem to be the only person in my work gym who even bothers with deadlifts, not to mention squats. Anyways when doing stiff legged deadlifts I'm not really feeling anything in my quads. (isn't that whats supposed to be worked) My lower back though is certainly feeling it. I do bend my knees and stick my head forward but my lower back is always sore after my sets. Is this right or is there something wrong in my form? I'm still fairly new to lifting, my highest weight is 160 pounds.

Deadlift Form
One thing to remember, you must always keep your back from bowing. Picture it this way. Pretend you have a shirt on with words across the chest. Picture that there is a mirror in front of you. When doing deadlifts, you should be able to see the letters in the mirror.
