Until you get it stronger, I'd start with supermans, birddogs, and light high rep pull throughs. Dedicate time in two work outs a week for these exercises for a month THEN start on hypers, Good Mornings, stiff-legged (roman) deadlifts and squats. Build your lower back slow and steady and you can become a rock. Don't forget balance, are your abs over or under developed? The state of your abdominal chain has a lot to do with how your lower back performs and feels.
Don't forget the the back works in conjunction with the 'posterior chain'. Develop glutes and hammies around your back exercises. Unfortunately lower back is NOT a 'gut it out' area. Be smart, work up to the bigger moves, stay steady with its training and understand how it works with it's neighbors (glutes, hammies, abs) and work them in conjunction. You'll do well.
Best,
B
