And its crazy man, I had used only the bar on the squat rack. I don't know what body part this pain is in, but I can show where it is.


That is where I feel the most pain at the moment. It kind of sucks, but I hope it's not that serious of an injury. And trust me when this shit heals up, I'm at the gym ASAP.

If anything, I've also learned that when doing a squat exercise its best to give two days of rest instead of one day. And also, if you're a beginner get a chair so then you can practice doing it somewhat right.

I suspect that you are pushing upwards mostly with your right leg, which puts uneven stress on your left hip and your left inguinal area (that's the area you highlighted).

If even the bar is hurting you, go down to body weight squats, then go up to a standard bar, then build it up until you are using an olympic bar. You just need to master the technique at this point rather than gain strength.
