      I think I've got a leg length discrepancy

      Longer leg is slightly larger. I have literally never noticed it. We had to learn to measure and diagnose this in my structural class, that's the only reason I know I even have it. The pelvis will tilt slightly to adjust for it.

      they are different positions and my feet angle out differently. If i try to textbook form I have pain. with the way i squat I get more power and no pain.

      Do you know how much of a difference there is? Is it noticeable when lying on your back with your knees folded, kinda like in a situp position?

      Interesting. How did you know you have a 3/4" difference? Measured from a physio?

      I have about 3/4-1" discrepancy. I notice my pelvic tilt a bit, never length discrepancy really though. Standing or sitting I can feel my pelvis tilted very slightly to the right side.

      chiropractor. I apparently have horrible rotational flexibility too. after the adjustments the discrepancy was negligible but it needs to be done often to actually stick.

      Could you describe how a pevlic tilt feels? I'd love to see if mine does it. I'm afraid that if I end up going to see the quack, he might tell me I can't ever lift again.
      How does a discrepancy effect performance in an exercise like RDL's? in theory, would one knee be bent more than the other to compensate for the extra length?

      I think I've got a leg length discrepancy

      If I stand up and put my hands on the iliac crests of my pelvis, I can identify that my right iliac crest is a good bit lower. It's what I'm used to doing so it 'feels' normal to me. Like I said before bro, I honestly never notice it although it is something I would like to fix in the future, but I have no idea how it affects performance.

      Thanks for the good responses man. Always a big help. I think I might just continue lifting seeing as it doesn't really bother me.
