Hip Pain from Squats

June 9, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Because I received a couple of questions regarding this topic I thought I’d point you to a post on reddit where user Zodam shared some advice on how he got rid of the hip flexor pain he got from squatting.

  • Strengthen and ACTIVATE glutes
  • Fix bar positioning (Rippetoe on Low Bar Position)
  • Work on ankle mobility

Pain in adductors? – Is your stance too wide?

It was for me. Had this nagging pain for a couple of weeks.  Then I realized that I hadn’t done any side split / straddle stretches for a while. So after doing those after each squat session the pain was gone.

Maybe this will help some of you out.

Let me know your tips in the comments.

    Thanks for the link. I was surprised how much bad information is out there on this, but this is what helped both my roommate and me!
