Now when I squat below parallel my lower back seems to be doing all the work resulting in lower back pain and soreness. I had to lower the weight because it was stressing my lower back so much now. My question is, is this normal because I have a lower back or is it because something is wrong with my form? I looked in the mirror and noticed that my lower back is arched a lot normally. Should I be sticking my ass out or no? maybe the placement of the bar is not in the right place?

it starts from the feet
if you find yourself not pushing through your heels and are unstable through your base thats pretty painful on your back
