    I know I've had questions about the mixed grip deadlift before but this is more to do with the scapula and shoulder function in general.

    Has anyone ever seen someone that lifts regualry with one shoulder lower than the other, one possible reason I can think of for this is when you deadlift with a mixed grip one scap is more retracted than the other thus creating an imbalance.

    Where one side is more dominant than another with no injury I'd imagine that there is a predesposition to injury, would anyone agree disagree?

    Easily sorted by swapping which hands reversed when lifting.

    Deadlifting properly wont injure or cause imbalances.

    Deadlifting poorly will.

    My shoulders are at different levels from an old injury. deadlifting has never caused me any pain or trouble, even though it does make the indifference more prominent at the top of the pull.

    A physio once told me, everyone has one shoulder lower then the other. Yay I'm normal :D
