    Hi Mark, how are you doing
    Excuse my bad english, im from Europe

    For a long time i have been suffering from pain around my right SI joint area and getting Muscle spasms or tears around my left quadratus lumborum area, mainly at the bottom of squats it happens, then im out of the gym For a couple days or a week.
    I have done an x Ray of my legs. My right femur is around 8 mm-10 mm shorter which im now shimming. I Just dont know how to deal with my stance during squats and deadlifts cus of the femur discrepancy. I have read your article, but i dont know what actually is meant with the staggered stance. Do you think the pain is coming from this discrepancy?

    When i used to squat without shimming my right shoe which i believe is shorter because of the x Ray. Also, when i squat without shimming, i naturally put my left (longer) foot more forward than the right foot

    Do you want to see my xray photos by any chance?

    The pain is probably coming from your bizarre squat technique. Read about this on the article section, and post a new video.

    I have tried my best, what is your opinion on the shim for my right femur? When im sat on a chair by example, my left knee is about 8 to 10 mm further in length than my right, is this also a pain factor to consider cus the pain also progresses in deadlifts

    We are not going to watch a 9-minute video of you squatting incorrectly.

    Thanks. I watched the videos you made about the squat and Read 2 articles and tried transitioning it, did my best, my bad.

    I do but it is hard to judge my own form, i have reread the squat chapter

    Mark. Serious question. When i set up for my weird looking "squat" my foot of my "longer leg" automatically calls for a staggered, more in front stance than my left one. When i would shim, this tendency disappears. What is your opinion boss?

    Use the shim, and rewatch the videos regarding back angle/knee position in the squat.
