Grip issues/holding the bar will cause most new lifters to fail the deadlift way before the weight is too hard for their lower body/back. This is why, even with experienced lifters, you should deadlift in the beginning. The same goes for any lift which recruits large muscle groups or requires speed.....cleans, deadlift, squat....etc.
You will improve quickly as your body learns how to lift. Neurological improvements are super fast at the beginning.
Slow and steady man. My first deadlift was 95lb for I think 10 reps and my back was sore for week!!

Yep on the neurological gains... I was adding 10lbs every 2 days on Squat/DL/Bench. I didn't go a day in the gym without a PR for the first few weeks. Obviously muscles don't get that much stronger that quickly.

Neuromuscularly your body proabably has no idea how to lift weights. Likely your muscles are not that weak, and you will make rapid gains.
Almost all the strength gains in the first month are down to enhanced motor recruitment patterns. The contractile strength of a muscle is down to its cross-sectional area and hypertrophy typically takes quite some time to exert an effect.
For beginners, enhanced recruitment patterns and changes in muscle unit size and activation threshold account for a large part of their progress.
After that, increases in cross-sectional area take over as the main variable driving progress and the rate of improvement levels off
*motor unit, not muscle unit

I'd suggest learning the hook grip from as early as possible. It's not too comfortable, but you do develop the tolerance for it. If that tolerance starts building from the low weights, you'll be much happier than if you start adopting it at heavy weights (which is pretty unpleasant?).
