I don't lift but the back shouldn't be moving. That's what the lifting belt is for. While it does take a lot of core muscles to do this, i think it is mostly ass and leg muscles doing the movement.

    Actually a deadlift with proper form heavily activates the lower back. That's pretty much what it's for, to strengthen your back. The whole posterior chain gets some activation, but the lower back gets the bulk of it.
