I’ve had an issue since starting lifting with impingement of the right hip, I’ve worked with several coaches over the issue, and while it may go away briefly at lower weights it inevitably returns at about 215-250 lbs. , I am beginning to think I have a retrograde on my right side as that foot has always been more out-toed while my left side has always been straight
I was playing with stance and toe angle last night and noticed that a slightly more narrow stance with my right toe at 45 degrees instead of 30 produced the least pain /most amount of pain free reps
My question is, adopting this stance should I keep my left foot at 30 or angle it to 45 also to approximate symmetry?
It doesn’t matter really, provided you’re able to train. I wouldn’t put too much importance on the anatomy here, as symptoms will vary independent of these anatomical peculiarities. More importantly, what program are you running?
Starting Strength/Tactical Barbell hybrid currently, squat lagged behind pretty severely because of this issue, so I’m doing NLP on that and TB (waved periodization) on my other lifts (the program is built around submaximal training to compliment combat sports and other outside activities)
