so I just started to deadlift yesterday. I was all hyped up . Today, I felt this muscle pain on my lower back more than my legs lol. If my lower back hurts are sore and not my leg, does it mean I am doing it wrong?

Don't ego lift, lower your weight and watch some tutorials on how to lift. It's not called the king of all lifts for no reason.

Also, you should feel some muscular pain in your hammies and upper back/tris/everything

5x5 is good due to liner progression.

But for your first goes at it just toss something like like 50% or less and get 50 reps that workout. 5x10, 10x5 whatever.

Work on the movement to establish basics.

To get oriented with the lift, yes. But anything above 80% should be pulled in singles until you get used to the lift

Alright, last question, How should i calculate how much I lift, like in BP ,DL.. Example: I do deadlift with 1 35lbs plates on each sides. which means 70lbs right? but does the bar count too? like how much does it weight total?

Traditional barbell is 45 lbs so 115 with your 35s.

its probably because youre deadlifting improperly as a relatively new deadlifter. be careful, your spine is a vital component of the msk system

I would start doing things like romanian db deadlifts, squats, cable pull throughs so that you can learn how to hip hinge and develop the ability to engage your hamstrings more effectively. also I suggest using a trap bar if your gym has them and work towards that before getting into deadlifts. that's just me though.
