Anyone ever deal with hip impingement on squats?

Started getting a dull, achey pinching pain in my right hip flexor at the bottom of my squats. After googling, it matches all the symptoms of hip impingement. I found a few videos from Squat University on some banded joint mobilization and stretches to do for it so I started those today. Wanted to see if anyone else had experience with it.

Yup. Me. Working on mobility helps big time. I also find that doing a warmup that focuses on the hip helps. Kettlebell swings and wide stance goblin squats are two of my favorites. Box jumps work as well.

Yeah. Just do hip flexor lunges before you squat. 10 seconds on each side is all it takes. That remedied it for me almost immediately.

There’s a ton of different reasons you can feel a pinch in a squat
You can do the banded mob, and it’s potentially best to do before you squat. Working on hamstring and calf mobility is good to do too
Honestly, one of the best things is to also find alternate lifts that won’t give you as much of that pinching sensation
Front squat variations are good for this. Front loaded reverse lunges, step ups, trap bar deadlifts all give you different ways to still work similar muscle groups. Can always hit weighted hip thrusts if you’re wanting more targeted posterior chain
There could be other reasons for feeling it that might call for hip flexor strengthening in extreme positions like some FRC work, or pelvic control so basically more core work to better control anterior pelvic tilting that lead to he acetabulum closing down on the femoral head in flexed positions
