Front of Hip Pain/Tightness Squats

Whenever I am warming up for squats, the front of my hip feels tight and a bit painful at the very bottom. I don’t think it has been bad enough for me to notice it when I am squatting my working sets because the weight is so heavy I don’t notice it. Is there an obvious thing this could be or do I need to provide more specific information?

If it bothers you enough, the first step would be to post a form check to the Starting Strength Facebook group or Forum. If your form is deemed “good”, then programming becomes the next consideration. Listen to our last 2 podcasts on pain and injury.
