Ok, so about a year ago I pulled a muscle in my lowerback doing dead lifts. To this day I still have problems with that same area of my back and it really restricts the weight I can lift. Since I am training for football, dead lifts is a lift I need to be good at. My max deadlift right now is only about 335 and I feel my weakness in that lift really hurts me in the clean and jerk also. If you think there is anything I can incorporate into my routine to help strengthen my lower back muscles, then please help me out!
Thanks in advance.

I would echo what some members are saying: go see a doctor first to make sure it is not anything serious.
I herniated a disc in my lower back in college and was bed ridden for 1.5 months and now back-pain free with soft tissue, flexibility and strength training.
I can almost guarantee:
1) you are extremely tight in your lower extremities (glutes, hamstrings, hips, calves, quads, IT band, etc..) so do a lot of dynamic and static stretching
2) you have knots over your muscle fascia so you need to iron those out with soft tissue work (foam roller or tennis ball)
3) are you keeping your back straight and not rounding on the deadlift?
4) do you have good core strength? 2 minute minimum plank and 60 secs side plank?
If you work on 1-4, your back will love you long time.
Best wishes,
