Brief Answer:
Avoid weight lifting

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Yes, there is a condition where the Rotator cuff which stabilizes the shoulder joint might be loose and weak. In that case there is an increase chance of dislocation.

There are surgical procedures to correct it, but for now you may have to avoid weight lifting to avoid dislocation.
