Yeah if you come into strength training with a lot of imbalances you may very well have a bad time. Unless you're particulalry fucked, it doesn't manifest right away. But injury risk does scale with weight lifted - the more weight your move the worse strains if you misgroove because bad leverages/geometry magnify with weight. Bar path being off a couple inches lifting 135 feels very different lifting 495. On the other hand, nothing like desire to improve numbers to drive one to unfuck their their body.
