Squat check with c-section scar pain and incontinence
Thank you in advance for evaluation of my squat technique. I will do my best to improve with the feedback.
Here is my 5th and final squat set at 200lbs.
I had switched to 5 sets of 3 at 195lbs. I am a 33yo female, 5'1 3/4" at 145.6lbs.
I am experiencing sharp "digging" pain under my c-section scar on the left side that travels about an inch down into my pubis region. I am 16.5 months postpartum. The pain occurs while performing the first part of the ascent, and disappears when I'm not lifting. I originally started noticing this pain in my deadlift when I got up to 200-205lbs, but only today experienced it in my squat as well. I also experienced urinary incontinence on the last squat rep in my 4th set, so in this final set, I tried to cue myself to push my knees out more on the way down, and keep my abs tighter.
I have a history of lifting with SS, initially back in 2007-2008 after reading the 1st edition (waaaaay back), and had life-changing strength improvements thanks to it. However, this is the heaviest squat I have ever done in about 7-8 year, and definitely haven't touched these weights since getting pregnant in December 2018.
