  • Looking for some general advice here.

    6 weeks into Stronglifts and generally doing OK, but more recently coming into some hip/groin pain on my right side when squattting. Saw an osteopath this week as I wanted an opinion on some other niggling previous issues around my hamstring/quads

    Gave me some excericises to do around strengthening my hip flexor, and also advised me just only squat once a week. I'm OK with it, but there's nowhere a near fulflling/satisying experience not doing it on the other two workouts. Current weight is 52.5kg, and I think my form is generally OK. He also suggested doing some more running, and I managed a slow 25 min jog today, and about halfway through felt some more hip/groin pain not too dissimilar to the squat pain.

    Is there any suggestions for things I can do in those other two workouts that aren't squats but are beneficial to those areas you'd normally work?

  • To expand more on my comment, it doesn't 'feel' like good advice to have to ease back on squatting and run more. If there is an issue running will make it worse, not solve it. It may be form, mobility, specific weaknesses somewhere, posture. I'm not convinced that an osteopath is the person to navigate it for you.

    Skip the middle man
