I was fine for several months. I then lowered the safety bars and started squatting lower and recently added weight and now I have hip joint pain during the squat. I've never had hip joint pain at all. At least its in both hips so I know its irritation from the squat, but I thought my form was pretty good and I am controlling the weight well, but now I have this pain.
I'm considering lowering the weight and raising the bars again. My ass is to the grass right now and I go deep on the squat and will lift as shown below:
Bar is high on the shoulders
135lb warm up 10 reps
225lb warm up 8 reps
295lb for 2 or 3 reps
285lb for 2 or 3 reps
275lb for 4 to 6 reps
265lb for 6 reps
255lb or 265lb for 6 reps
I follow this with Stiff Legged Deads @ 235lbs for 5 sets of 8 all at that weight. I do this twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday. I do other stuff but its not likely a cause of the hip pain (at least I don't think).
Video at bottom post as well.
