Deadlifting is dramatically different depending if you're talking to an olympic weightlifter or body builder. Olympic weightlifting is a sport that requires the athlete to have a high degree of mobility, flexibility, and posture control in order to lift the weight overhead. This reduces the chance of injury significantly. In contrast, body building is a sport where the goal is to build muscle mass. This often leads to athletes using poor form in order to lift heavier weights, which dramatically increases the risk of injury.
Be careful out there, I hurt my shoulder about 11 years ago when I was 23 lifting a dumbbell and it still hurts from time to time.
I found that some Crossfit gyms are actually run by knowledgeable athletes with a real understanding of exercise physiology, rather than just 'bro military guys'. Olympic weightlifting classes at these gyms can be pretty good.
