Sore groin while squatting was created by Killface

Howsit guys, Lately while doing squats I have this pain in my groin. Does anyone else experience this?
Could it be my form or maybe I should stretch a bit? Thanks

i use to get it also. i use to do only 4 sets but now i do 8 sets with 4 warmup sets and 4 heavy sets. it def helped me. had an issue with my tendons in my right knee and that has also disappeared.

when i do warmups i do stretch between each set. improves the strength also.

hope it helps.

If working on body and character doesnt cost you something its woth noting. If criticism is all that proceed out of your mouth then know that is how you feel about yourself and depicts the health of your soul.

Is squats your first exercise when you hit legs?

I'll have to try do some more stretching, I do light stretching between sets.

Ya squats is always my first leg exercise.

It's frustrating as I'm too nervous to try go heavier

do a 10 min bike ride for warmup. then warmup sets. about a third weight you can do. 12 reps each. stretch groin, hams, quads, calves. after each of the following 8 sets. see if it helps. this will help with your form as well.
guys normally think stretching is for girls but bud it is realy not.

if your pain still persist go see a doc

Consider starting with the leg press

As DJ said - physio or chiro.

Could also be a problem with adductors near the insertion or potential hernia. Depends on how long this has been going on for though.

Do some light sets on the adductor machine and stretch your groin and lower abs thoroughly before hitting the squats

Sorry guys Apparently it is true, cause its happened to certain people already, so I’m not taking any chances !!
