guys,
been developing a little pain everytime i squat. Trying my best to describe, pain happens on my lower left thigh nearby the groin, seems like there is a connecting muscle from groin to thigh (hamstrings perhaps?), it hurts a little when i approach parallel. Dropped the weights even happen on an empty barbell . Anyone experienced this before? |

QUOTE(GameFr3ak @ Sep 7 2015, 04:54 PM) describe your warm up before the first actual set........  "After going out on my own for a while, and working with a coach, I learned that my quads are overdeveloped due to poor squat form caused by pushing through my toes too much. She had me stop doing squats (HOLY FUCK YEAH SQUAT VACATION) and focus on glute and hamstring development. Now, when I squat, I open my legs up wider and have my toes pointed out at an angle, because it is what feels natural for me. Now that the strength is my hamstrings and glutes is better, I feel those muscles activate in my squat."  a full body stretch on the precor machine, then butterflies, lunges. then squats start from empty bar, 10kg increment till work set |
