Deadlifts most dangerous lift?

[Rosa19866]

what are the most dangerous lifts at the gym.
I was doing deadlifts the other day and someone said they stopped doing them because they kept getting injured. He said that he got a really bad back injury and also pulled a muscle doing them.
do you agree that they are the most dangerous or is there another exercise that you think is worse

a lot can go wrong with deadlifts. but i think overhead presses are very dangerous on the shoulders

 

[JasonPriest]

i think any lift is dangerous if you use poor form

Any lifts can be dangerous if overdone

Poor form = high injury risks. The training in itself is not dangerous, it's the lack of proper knowledge on how to go about it that is the real issue TBH.

most guys have injuries on deadlifts......

 

[Tazz]

dangerous, but easy to derisk it with proper form.

Not worth the risk vs reward for me

 

[RoySimpson]

Technique and form is most important.

Most dangerous to me is anything heavy for shoulders. You will work shoulders when working many other groups like chest and back. When you isolate shoulders it becomes a situation where you can over train them and risk a rotator cuff issue.
