    Deadlift advice to trainee with one arm considerably longer than the other due to scoliosis? I had him adjust his grip wider on the longer arm side so the bar would pull evenly. Thoughts?

    This approach just reinforces the asymmetry. I'd have to see him, but I'd probably tend to keep the grip even.

    Thanks, was a visitor to the garage. Squat and bench both looked good. Said he didn't deadlift much and showed me why. Thanks for fixing my bad advice.

    I don't know that your advice was bad. Again, I'd have to see it. Some shit can't be done on a keyboard.
