Hip pain while pushing knees out
As the title says, I am getting hip pain while pushing my knees out during the squat. The pain is most pronounced in my left side, but my right side starts feeling a bit of soreness/strain once I increase the weight towards my work sets. Also, I find that a narrower stance reduces the pain, but does not eliminate it. What could this be caused by and how should I fix this?

Ok. Fair enough. I'll get a video in a few weeks (no time to train until final exams are over).

I bet you can find time. If Feigenbaum managed to get his deadlift up to over 700 pounds while running a business and going through medical school, I think you can, too.Originally Posted by aWalkingShadow

Yep I can confirm that. Hat my final exam in my apprenticeship last week too. Training helped quite a bit in the learning process, you just need time without learning to. I also is a good stress reliever.

Not sure where your hip pain is, but as deep as those are, you may be pinching some soft tissue between your femur and your acetabulum. (Thigh bone and your hip bone).

For that set (and today's squat session as well) I actually didn't feel any pain. Maybe it's resolved itself?
I actually made a slight adjustment to my squat a week ago; I narrowed my stance to what you saw and I slowed down my descent a little bit. Perhaps those adjustments caused the pain to go away?
Aside from that, how is my form? Do I need to make any changes to my technique?

You were too deep...after that, nothing egregious stood out.
