It's literally the bone structure of your hip joint being too cramped and the soft tissues being squeezed. All the other anons answering so far are morons. You're going to have to squat pushing your knees out more and possibly wider stance. Front squat or SSB squat might be better alternatives for you as you'll be able to keep your torso more upright and make more room at the hip joint.
Sounds like tight hip flexors. I had this when I started my first job in tech and sat down for most of the day. Getting a standing desk and alternating between sitting and standing as opposed to just sitting made it go away.
>specifics ?
calves, hamstrings, quads, glutes, hip flexors, abs, spine rotation, thoracic extension, pecs, rotator cuffs, forearms, etc. seems like it's overkill but you just cycle through different options in your warm ups and it compounds over time. then you won't have mobility related problems popping up with exercise.
the simplest solution is finding your stance. im guessing you didnt get this pain 5 years into your lifting carreer, so I am confident that you dont really know your stance. Experiment with that. try different feet positions, low bar, high bar, etc.
on the contrary I am about 2 years in, and the pain is only a few weeks new. in fact it only happens at higher weights, but I am now getting it at weights which I could previously handle fine
This only happens to me when I'm trying to force high bar / upright. It goes away with low bar (and I just get back pain lole)
My preferred quad exercises for my hip structure are reverse lunges and wide leg press.
a dr would tell u to stop squatting
Post vid of squat. How long can you sit in an unweighted atg squat comfortably? You most likely need to Improve hip and ankle mobility.
fix your form
sciatica, there is no fixing it.
You should master the atg split squat, seated good morning and deep rdl first, then youc an try squatting again
learn to keep a neutral spine and/or switch to low bar

I dont know why all the replies have been so off.

I walked a lot too and lifted and stretched. Still couldnt compensate for sitting 8+ hours a day.
The pinching dissapeared within a week when I got a standing desk.
stretch everything
I have a shit hip and switched to smith machine squats which feel better, only downside is that try hard homosexuals will seethe and project
Dont go so low. Proper form is made up bullshit. Do what feels best for your body
Tight hip flexors. Stretch them out. You'll see a big improvement
t. Had same issue
Unironically do the pussy machines. It will fix it.
this one ?
Yes.

get glutes and hips dry needled, do clam shells, stretch piriformis, do adductor work
