Assuming you are squatting and dead lifting properly, your spinal erectors will be trained and strengthened if they are the weak link. If you are a novice, I wouldn't add any additional exercises; however, since you are experiencing pain I am going to defer to the SSC thread since I don't want to mislead you and cause further harm.
