Before when I low bar squatted my hips would have a slight pull to the right side, now that I high bar squats and am going a bit more below parallel, it is very noticeable and probably something I need to fix. I'm not sure what's causing it, maybe my right hip/leg joint is further back than my left one, or my left leg is longer? How can I fix this, already doing a ton of mobility work to get my glutes firing properly, and a lot of ankle dorsiflexion stretches before squatting (right foot doesn't have as much dorsiflexion as the left aswell)

Unrack the bar and walk out, get comfortable but dont squat. Do your normal walk out routine and dont overthink it


now look down, are your feet perfectly in line with eachother?


Mine wernt, it was more comfortable and natural having 1 foot slightly more forward than the over. I brought masking tape to the gym and placed a straight line on the ground where i walked out to and lined up my big toes to it. Felt real awkward for a while but immediately fixed my pull to one side

Pelvic tilt. You may or may not have a leg length discrepancy. Get it checked out properly via a physio instead of speculating. They'll have a plan for you as well after making any sort of diagnosis of the issue.

weak glutes will cause lateral shift, if you also start to twist or laterally rotate as well that can be attributed to lack of dorsiflexion on the side that you twist away from

Post a vid, it could be so much from compensation due to weak points to poor form.

I'm squatting 225, and even during warm ups it happens, I'll post a vid when I squat next though. Can't be weak glutes, my glutes r solid as fk




This actually might be it. It does feel more comfortable to squat like that, I'll give it a go next time

This made a big difference, still slightly swaying to the right though, but it's considerably better, ty men

I bet you sleep hugging an anime pillow. This can cause a rotation in your body alignment.

Will cause knee overcorrection and hip misalignment.
