I'll start: I tried to move a bookshelf while drunk about 6 years ago and tore a tendon in my shoulder pretty damn good. It still bothers me sometimes if I move it wrong or sleep on it wrong.

Since dead lifts are primarily glutes and traps, just break it up into two different exercises. Squats (or leg press) and row. Also, the biggest secret to not getting injured in the weight room that most weightlifters ignore (to their detriment) is yoga. Yoga isn't for bulking, it's exclusively for all of the little accessory musculature groups that aren't typically utilized in standard kinetic motion strength training. These are the muscles that help you keep your good form while you're doing strength training, and preemptively primes your body to not injure yourself.
