Could be your back is messed. Or it could be inactive glutes making your back do more work than it should. Try activating your glutes with some glute bridges before you squat/pull. Also, on your warm up squat/deadlift sets really focus and get that mind muscle connection of using your glutes to do the work. And don't forget to really open up those knees when squatting, let's you keep a more vertical back angle.
