    Default Hip Pain - Squat Check

    Hey coaches,

    I was wondering why my post got deleted, and then realized I wasn't supposed to post more than one video. Made even more embarrasing since I actually read the sticky "Read Me" before posting. My bad.
    Anyways, I'm having pain in the front of my hip after squatting and can't spot the form error by myself. I imagine it is hip flexor tendinitis/osis but I can't see any significant knee forward drift. It manifests as a sharp pain as I'm coming out of the hole and later as mild disconfort as I walk. It usually clears within 72h, but since I'm squatting 3x/week, it keeps coming back. Can I please get a form check?

    Here's a video from the first work set of a day, 5x90kg/198lb.

    Further details:
    BW: 87kg/192lb
    Height: 178cm/5'10''
    Age: 25

    Any feedback is highly appreciated.

    The lighting isn't great so it's hard to see details, but nothing pops out as being a "THIS is definitely causing your issue" type deal. You're a little high and you move your head around instead of keeping it still and gaze down, which could both be improved, but nothing obviously causing severe hip flexor pain. You may be using your hip flexor eccentrically to "brake" and keep yourself above parallel, but that's kind of a shot in the dark.

    I was afraid of that. Nonetheless, thank you for the feedback, I will work on the height and head positioning and see if it helps. If I find out what is causing the pain, I'll post it here to help people with similar issues.
