not really, I take omega 3 oil everyday.

I think it's a mobility issues though or something

I've tried playing around with stance, going from atg to parallel etc. I think my hip mobility is chit

I will next week when I get my phone back

Fuk that, nothing builds legs like squats. I will always squat, deadlift, bench and ohp, love the big 4

Squats are far from the most mechanically efficient movements for leg hypertrophy. Hack Squats are probably top of the list. If squatting is hurting, stop. You can't build any muscle with an injury or doing a movement that is causing pain.

I want advice on how to fix it you dumb kunt. Not jus give up. Was thinking maybe someone els had a similar experience

Deload, or go bodyweight, fix your form and see if you can squat without pain then work up

Or quit bitchin

Saying my hip hurts is way too vague. There could be tons of variables.

- bad bar position
- bad foot rooting
- low flexability
- weak hamstrings (common)
- weak core or lower back (also common)
- squatting too often
- routine wear and tear.

Suggestions
- take time off squatting and leg chit heal up
- reintroduce them when feeling better, but high focus on proper muscle engagement and rooting.
- see what happens.

If you've tinkered with weight, stance, depth, etc then you need to stop and analyze the problem from the outside. It could be mobility, and all you need to do is adopt a strict stretching routine, or it could be something else. Surely you're not willing to risk your long term health when you can do other exercises that maybe don't recruit as much muscle, but are equally beneficial.

Yeah jus added hack squats into my routine, feelsgoodman but squats are just alpha. I will find a solution to this, I'm not jus giving up bc of a little pain

Thanks man, I will post a video next week and will try to bring up any weaknesses

I would also suggest adding 3 laps of lunges (bodyweight) at the end of your leg days. I was turned on to that and it's done a lot for my hips and knees. 3 trips for the length of a basketball court is what I do.

yeah I think mobility is an issue but I think there are other issues too that contribute to this problem, will try to fix them

Nah I'm gonna keep squatting until it feels right, I wouldn't feel like a man if I just gave up and stuck to leg press or whatever

[Rabbitjb]

Squatting is a chick go to

You’re good

[legbroke]

Thread is pretty damn useless without vids (or even more deets on hip pain - hurts near depth? which direction is your hip moving? feel it in other exercises? muscle/connective tissue?).

One thing I'll throw out though is goblet squats. Having the weight in front of you makes it much easier to be upright while hitting depth. It's one of my favorite tools for developing squat form.

[Stray800]

Definitely stretch your hip flexors before squatting
Reevaluate your form and drop the weight
Consider a joint complex supp

[GooBaaa]

Warm up properly, do squats with no weight or bar to correct form, and don't go to heavy

[arn710]

Any advice you're offered is a complete guess without providing a video

It could be a dozen different things

[AshWar]

Had chronic hip pain for 4 years. The two things that fixed it-

1. Hip flexor strengthening exercises (hip sit ups and leg raises)

2. Fatigue management / correcting my programming and not training like a moron


Been squatting pain free for almost a year now

Find a load/range of motion that allows you to train pain free, then build from there

This, would need to see a video of OPs form.

I'll speak with experience OP, may not be the case with everybody but I find if I take a wide stance/feet too straight much my hips don't really like it. I tested this with sumo deadlifts and it's pretty much the same thing, my hips hate it. Could be form but also your hip anthropometry, (i.e: shallow vs deep hip sockets) but could also be other chit like hip shift/flat feet/leg length discrepancy. I have all 3 of these "issues" but I squat just fine pain free 99% of the time. You may also want to see if you squat uneven and if you favour one side.

Could also be you are just squatting too much too soon, you gradually want to build up volume and tolerance to it.

What worked for me was taking a more narrow stance with feet pointed out moderately. This will bias your quads a bit more rather than your hips. Also do high bar if you aren't already. Try even going below parallel if possible and without pain to train your hips through an extended range of motion. The hardest part is trouble shooting which is your issue, but it could be multiple. But I'd like to say it's probably your form, which is hard to know without a video.

[truesteez]

stretch and stretch everything, not just hips. It could be coming from tightness or imbalance from another joint. For example, many people with knee pain is dude to ankles or hips so stretch, improve posture/form and start with light weight again.

[lolatpaniccels]

if its in the front of your hips when going down into the parallel then its 100% hip impingement.

stop squatting and fix it otherwise you're going to need surgery down the road.

[Murph0408]

learn how to stretch and/or massage the area. repair and maintain yourself. especially once you're north of 30 years old, at least in my experience.

stop squatting for a bit. learn some other exercises for the area. lots of ways to train the lower body and repair yourself. mobility work is helpful. resistance bands, foam rollers, yoga. so many options. get yourself fixed up and get back to squatting down the road.

i wouldn't say to quit them entirely forever, because they're a staple exercise.

[Hypernation]

If it’s in the front near your groin then it’s legitimate hip pain (side or rear “hip” pain in general has to due with different issues).

Depending on your age, physical exam and MSK variability… you’re either suffering from hip impingement syndrome, psoas syndrome, or issues with muscular/ligamentous/tendon imbalances and biomechanic pathology.

Go to sports med doc or a reputable family physician for a proper workup and treatment plan.

Taking chondroitin, glucosamine, ibuprofen and acetaminophen, as well as listening to most Miscers, ain’t gonna do chit in the long run.

In the meantime, if you can manage, try lunges or get on the machines.

Good luck
