Beginner here doing compound barbell exercises, is lower back soreness normal or should I be freaking the fuck out?
That's probably just back pump, if you really did fuck up, you wouldn't have to ask, really. Keep working on your form, you're never done working on your form!

This is very dangerous advice.
No, you don't have to injure your lower back before you can perfect your form.
Yes, there's always room for improvement when it comes to form in BB.
Lots of dudes lift heavy using their lower back without actually working out their lower back outside of their main lifts. Try some hyperextensions and some decline sit-ups for a stronger waists.

So there's no advance signs of fucking up, it's just instant snap out of nowhere?

No one said or even implied that...

Senior Fitizen chiming in. I added seated cable pull (row) to my routine solely to strengthen back muscles for other lifts.

Doesn't that work upper back?
I got pendlay rows (and now added face pulls) for that.

My only suggestion is if you have lower back pain after squatting lookup "butt wink" and do NOT go lower than where your butt wink starts with heavier weight(for you)
Go atg with no weight or 10lbs kettle bells for like 20 reps regularly and hopefully your mobility will improve.
If you deadlift and your lower back hurts after your sets look at form, if it hurts the next day your ok but hold off on squats if it still hurts when the day comes for them.
You making sure to brace your core bro?
You'll know yourself what is "muscle burn" from working out and what is something else. Try and discern what it is. A fatigued lower back can feel WEIRD the first time you get it.
Work on strengthening your core. It literally exists to function as a bracing mechanism for your spine and lower back.
You should never have lower back pain/soreness if your form is correct on your back squats, deadlifts, bench and ohp. If you do, you need to look up proper form because sooner or later you'll fuck your shit up
