Squatting Pain

ad

Just got home from my late night leg workout and I'm had some pain on the sides of my hips! Started off with just the bar for about 5 or 6 reps with no pain then added 1plate to each side and I don't know what the f$&k is going on but the sides of my hips started hurting. Worked through the pain for 2 warm up sets at 135 then jumped up to 225 and I felt like I was being stabbed on the sides of my hips!! Didn't go any heavier than 225 due to the pain and I did manage to get 3 working sets in. Pain subsided after the squats which is kinda weird. Went on to due leg press's and walking lungs with no pain. I don't get it maybe a trip to the chiropractor is in order? What do you all think?

Sounds like pain in your outer hip abductors. Pain in one would suggest an injury, but both at the same time seems odd and too coincidental. How far apart do you have your feet when you're squatting? Do you keep your toes angled out slightly? Ever damaged your pelvis before?
Sounds like you're watching your form, so can't imagine your answers to any of the above will be ridiculous.

Hope improves fella.

I dont know possibly leg stance is too wide? I dont know ur history w/ training and I hate to suggest yo dont have proper form. Maybe I am all wet? I wud honestly say check it off as a bad day and try again next leg workout if it doesnt subside then maybe go to one of those people, but I have never been to a chiropractor... I thought that was just like a massage and I have only been to the asian massage parlor once and they didnt do very much massaging where I went? I say try again soounds like nerves in ur back or bad form. Didnt mean to offend u if ur a seasoned lifter or u dont like asian massage parlors Smile

With the light weight I was pushing my form (I think) was perfect. I really pride myself on form when it comes to squats so I don't fuck up my back. And I take no offense but I it couldn't be form I mean I only started out 135 and had pain.
