Is there any way that I can prevent my back from being used when I deadlift. I would like to do this without dropping my weight. But if not I'll do it if i have to. Basically what I do is as soon as I lift the bar off the ground by back curves. I have no idea how to stop this. My backs not even strait when I use light weight to warm up. O by the way I deadlift Sumo.

Hmmm....
The way i deadlift is as thus
Get the bar in same grip (might try alternating when using heavier weights later in the future) and sit sumo, with back straight (if you cant get your back straight while in this position-somethings wrong with your spine or you have very bad posture, you then lift your shoulders up, and lock them as much as possible, and with your legs push upwards, and when its nearly there release shoulders and shrug to get that nice back/trap workout, then lower back down quite fast bending knees keeping back straight and drop the weight when nearly at the bottom.
By low weight what do you mean?
Im pretty sure if you used something like 100lbs or so you can get form perfect, that's what i did before adding weight onto my deadlift, once i mastered the form i added 5lbs each time, until it became slightly bad form, and kept it at that weight, when i got stronger and the form got better, kept adding 5lbs on

What i mean by ligt weight is like 315 for warm up or 225. HOw i set up is i walk up to the bar with my feet at about the O rings. I bend over put back strait and head up. But as soon as I lift it my back bows out (my coach calls it turtle back). I heard that pulling the bar against ur shins helps keep ur back strait. But I dont kno. I dont wanna hurt my spain.

lower the weight
Lower the weight to say 150lbs and i guarantee you will have good form, dont take bad form over heavier weights just because it makes you look tough in the gym, id rather see someone lifting a pathetic weight and walk out happy and healthy than some guy showing off with mega weight and breaking there back right in front of me, and believe me you dont wanna do that.
Once you get to the highest weight whereby you use good form-keep on that weight, adding 5lbs here and there, as soon as form starts getting bad-stop adding weight
you could do this in 10lbs or even 15lbs increments if youre feeling bold enough
that is my advice

The only thing is that I need to train for powerlifting. So i cant just very well drop my weights to 150. I'd be really weak. I've considered dropping the weight. But sometimes I can do good form. I recently just repped 385 and my coach said I had good form...so i dunno. Is it normal if you use decent form anyway for your back to hurt. Thats my concern really. I just feel like my back is sore.

That's probably your back working its muscles, as long as you don't feel sharp twinges, and you can move to a reasonable degree and stuff then you're fine, dropping the weight might seem dumb, but you will put the weight on quickly, the body adapts quickly, but if you set things too high the body wont adapt, drop the weight slightly and keep adding certain weight increments on and see if your body can get any better form from it.
You wont become weak, muscle doesnt degenerate for weeks/months, you'll be just having a few easy weeks, in which your weight on the bar should be gaining slightly rapidly anyway

I think a drop in weight is a good idea. Hope it works for you. I do not think the risk is worth the heavy weight. Your back maybe able to take the strain now but see what happens on an off day or when the weight gets real big.
I do not consider myself able to do a weight unless it is in good form. Also you may want to make sure your shoulders are behind the bar.
Good luck
Jason
