    Squat help

    Hello All,

    I have just returned from the gym and while I had a successful workout, I have been feeling some irritation in my right quadriceps near the groin area (mainly in the upper region). I have done some research and it appears that it is the hip flexor muscles.

    I felt this irritation bang from the start of the workout going light with 185 (is it safe to say that this means it is not an injury but rather a spasm/tight flexors)?

    It is only in my right leg; could this mean I am using more of my right leg to push up?

    For your viewing and much appreciated critique:





    Many thanks, repping any reply.

    hip joint*, though i'm sure you meant that

    OP the GOAT stretch for this, i had this problem during squats and sumo pulls too, is to get into a deep squat, and push your knees out while externally rotating your hips. like this:

    OP, I have the same problem. This video helped a lot.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBHzXF-mVjY

    Foam rolling out the groin area also helps a ton. I find doing more warm up sets also helps the muscle stretch out and not feel like it's "pulling" due to it being contracted.

    The area you circled includes the sartorius muscle, which is the one that is diagonally running across the leg. It attaches near the hips, so it could be redirected pain as well. You might find it beneficial to foam roll the hips around the IT band and quads to get rid of any knots that might cause the muscle to shorten.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SV4liTchMw

    Lastly, try squatting barefoot or in a more stable shoe than running shoes. The instability that it causes to your ankles make it hard to efficiently open up the hips due to the lateral movement in your ankles.
