Why does pic related hurt when I squat? Should I lower the weight?

You need to insert the squat plug deeper

Normal

Stance is probably too wide. I used to have the same problem until I narrowed up my stance.

Satanic trips checked

I might be wrong but it could be your balls, Anon.

those muscles are probably just underdeveloped. keep training to make them stronger so there will be no more pain. Could be something else though

It's normal if you squat like rip

tight hip flexors
do some stretches

You don't properly open your hips while squatting.
Check your form

Your body tries to stop you becoming t-rex. Stop squatting.

Had the same issue until I deloaded and fixed my stance.

Me too, but just in one leg.
I squatted normally until this pain appeared. Stopped for 1 month, but it was still there.

Dropped squats and I now just do leg extensions, leg press, leg curls. Are this good substitutes? Gf was mirin my glutes, I hope I can still get big. Lifting for aesthetics btw

I mostly cleared up this pain by warming up with hip adductor machine before squats and doing heavy hip adductor work at the end of my workout with progressive overload. The muscles were probably just weak.

Oh and yeah you definitely don't have to squat to get big, I shouldn't even be squatting with FAI but I'm a stubborn bastard so lol

Oh and if you're concerned about glutes you wanna focus on deadlifts instead of any of those exercises hope I've said all I wanna say by now

Thanks!
Cool, I do deadlifts but on "back day".

I don't think I really wanna go back to squats. I kept asking different PTs to check my form because it put too much stress on my lumbar spine but they were all saying my execution was perfect.
