Squatting with hip impingement

[Schwarzenegger]

Also could try hack squat machine.

or smith machine squats with ur feet far forward so more emphasis on quads and less glute/hip involvement

ever tried o lifting shoes with a heel?

cheap version is elevate ur heels on 10lb plates flat on the floor and squat. might make a difference as it makes it easier on the hips and more quad dominant movement

Thanks for the reply I have never tries lifting the heal. I will give that a try tomorrow. So only about a half inch lift is all that's needed? And problems if you use higher? When raising the heels, your still lifting by putting preassure through the heels or are you focusing more on the toes now?

Riposte advises against using soemthing to artificially lift your heel except for lifting shoes. The reason is it doesn't fix the problem. It's a bandaid that masks the problem. I'd suggest trying lifting shoes with a mild/moderate heel, mobility work (look I to Dr. Kelly Starrett's work on YouTube), more warmups and dynamic stretching before lifting, static stretching after lifting, etc. I've greatly enhanced hip mobility with a lacrosse ball. Put it against the wall and put the trouble areas into it. Work the ball through the pain and knots. Also there's a couple good hip stretches like the frog lose I believe it's called.
