I just searched for this video that really helped me to learn to deadlift/squat/press properly. Follow Coach Rip's advice on breath; keep a deep breath in as you lift and your core will follow suit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkeN_fkXrdE

You aren't doing them right if your lower back isn't sore. Deadlifts should be heavy and if you do them heavy your lower back will hurt a little bit the next day. Also the OP needs to add some weight. You do these weekly and 265 is your PR????? You can push harder than that

I love how some people look at numbers on the internet and assume things about a person. What if he just started deadlifts? You aren't supposed to rush these. 265 would be too much for someone who does not have their core built up. What if he is experienced but 5'6'' and 140 lbs? How can you assume what his numbers imply?

I wasn't trying to be an ass...he said he does them weekly. I apologize if it came off like that. Most that are 5'6 140 don't do deads but I get your point and it does sound like I was being an ass with my statement.

Make sure you're keeping your back arched, pushing through the heels, and not letting the bar drift out in front of you.

You are correct here, but I would just like to correct your terminology. An isometric exercise is when you do a static exercise (like pushing the wall) and the joint is not moving. Thus, iso-same, metric-length. The deadlift is a concentric and eccentric exercise. Concentric when you come up and eccentric when you go down.

but the lower back isn't moving so it is contracting isometrically.

Of course the lower back is moving. The movement you are creating is lumbar flexion.
