Buy a trap bar deadlift if you have form issues with the normal deadlift. It will eliminate lots of the back problems.
If you have chronic back pain, fix it. In fact lifting heavy weights might be a solution. Honestly don't know why people choose to live with pain. Even air squats with open up your hip flexors and stretch out your hamstrings which will more than likely help with chronic back pain.
Seems like people think of the squat/deadlift, and they instantly think they need to be able to squat or deadlift 400lbs because some guy on YouTube is good at it. The deadlift was a fast progression for me, but the squat took me a long time to push even beyond 300lbs. And after groin issues I've reset and haven't gone past 225lbs. Form, form, form.
