Squat check

[mephisto]

Coming back to PR weight after some hip issues, multiple conflicting diagnosis including arthritis (I’m 35) and I eventually got fed up with doctors and got back under the bar. Pushing my knees out LESS than I used to seems to manage the right hip flexor area pain better....

Thank you for any feedback.

I have good news. We all suffer from arthritis. Unless you have rheumatoid arthritis, it is unlikely to be a problem. As for your squats, you are too far forward on several of your reps, with your knees sometimes going forward at the bottom, too. I believe this is exacerbating your hip pain. Get your knees in place by half way down and hold them back more than you are now. Lean over more and reach back with your butt. Keep your chin down. Drop your elbows a bit. Drive your ass up. Less anterior/upright more posterior/leaning over.
