I feel pain in my crotch whenever I squat, always on the right leg...I feel like I'll snap my shit up soon. Am I squatting with poor form or is it lack of mobility?
Probably an issue of form, especially if you feel like you're putting more effort into one leg than the other on your way up.
The parts in which some people have mobility problems are the achilles tendon and the hamstrings, your groin's flexibility isn't overexerted in any way during a squat, unless you do sumos or something.

its ur hip flexor
problem is ur mobility, try stretching ur hix flexors. google that shit and do it.
it will only get worse over time.
had the same problem in the past and it took weeks to fully recover because I kept pushing my squat without solving this problem first.

I'll try to check if I've been leaning to the side.

Did you keep squatting while you were stretching?
>>37485956
stretching always on off days or right after your workout but I prefer on off days.
never before the workout, your strength will suffer because you actually need to stretch the hip flexor quite hard and that shit hurts atleast it did for me.
it helped in the end. I took some weeks off because I was will and came back with the proper mobilty and healed. no problems so far.

>problem is ur mobility
Nope.

You're getting impingement because you don't keep a posterior pelvic tilt throughout the movement.
Breath all the way down into your low back and try to create 360 degrees of pressure from the air you suck in. And most importantly, squeeze the fuck out of your glutes during the whole exercise, especially in the bottom.

>no posterior pelvic tilt isn't a result of bad hip flexor mobility
ok doc

Anon, if your hip flexors were so tight it was physically impossible for you to tilt your pelvic, then you wouldn't even be able to walk around.
That said, there is a chance that you're right and stretching the hip flexors will make it easier for him, I guess, but it's the pelvic position that's important here.

Put plates under your feet
Have the same problem but in the lower right leg above my ankle, had to stop squatting heavy for now since it was starting to hurt to walk, dunno wtf is up.

>under heels
i do this too helped so much, was able to add 50lbs to my squat

Bursitis?
>>37486260
How does this work exactly? I saw some guy doing it the other day and thought he was crazy
>>37486340
same thing as lifting shoes, those have wedges in them. it can help you with ankle mobility and be able to squat lower. it also helps me more evenly balance and not put weight on the ball of my foot.

Unlikely, bursitis would cause problems at times other than while squatting. Generally causes inflammation, redness, swelling while walking and while sitting/lying on the area of the bursa for a while
