If you’re using correct form then there’s no reason you should injure yourself in a simple compound lift, unless you go mega heavy or haven’t warmed up properly.
If say, your back hurts after a deadlift then you’re probably doing it wrong, or one muscle group is fatiguing quicker / is weaker than the other. Some people’s solution is to throw a belt on which takes some of the strain, but this doesn’t improve the strength or mobility of the weaker muscles.
