Hip Pain from squats

Long and short, whenever I squat heavier weight, I get pain in my left hip, and only my left hip, while doing the exercise. It lasts only for a minute or two at most, then it disappears. I can run, do leg presses and take a shit with no pain, its only when I am doing squats. I'm 28, no pre-existing injuries, and it only seems to be a problem when going over 280. I'm told my form is OK, so I'm not sure what could be causing this issue. Any thoughts, tips etc would be appreciated.

Sounds like an incipient lumbo-sacral and/or sacral-iliac ligament issue. Take it from an old guy who has it BAD, jump all over this now and get it sorted; it can get much much worse and very difficult to fix if it's allowed to get settled in the structure and function of the body the wsy mine did. Foam roller may help. I'm getting rehabilitative pilates from Stott/Care specialists, but it's spendy

stand straight lift your right knee towards your belly (are you falling to the left or do you have to put some weight on your left foot before you lift your knee?) Now do the opposite, left knee up. Any problems?

Chances are you have mobility/flexibility issues in your hips,

here is an amazing routine you should try everyday before bed, 10 minutes max

I'm not making any diagnostic but poor hip mobility applies to pretty much everyone. This is safe for anyone so give it a try

you should start seeing results in 10 days, if mobility is not the issue, I would seek for a specialist's opinion..

Thanks guys, I'll look into these, I'd like to avoid needing to see a doctor, so if I can head this off before its a permanent chronic issue I'm totally down

You'll need lots of mobility work to "reset" your femur into your hip. Your right leg might also be shorter than your left leg as well.

Rodja lives!

started the excercises monday, give this a shot.

While you're at it, stretch those calves and ankles! Will do some good to your squat;)
