No, I do the normal (not straight leg) ones. It's supposed to be normal deadlifts target the erector spinae (those two long muscles on either side of your spine) and straight leg deads target the hamstrings. However, in both exercises the other muscle is a synergist so you're probably going to feel it in both muscles no matter which kind you're doing. Unless one muscle is much stronger than the other, maybe your hamstrings are much stronger than your lower back, and that's why you feel it there?

I do normal ones, yes. Do them on leg day as I don't do many legs exercises anyway (if I do too many my knees start hurting.. ) so only
Leg Press/Squats, Calve Raises and Deadlifts forme.
Seems good to me, I have a ways to go on legs so maybe I'm not the best guy to ask but I think if you are squatting heavy and with good form it works your entire legs pretty well. So doing squats, calf raises and deads should be a sufficient legs day, I wouldn't say that was necessarily "not many leg exercises" nawmean
