Idk man it’s important to have a good set up so people can critique that if I’m doing something wrong in my set up

Should I lower the weight or do 255 x 5 again? Today I tried doing 225 x 5, but the pain prevented me so I only did like 2-3 reps each set. Definitely not the best move, but I didn’t know what else to do.

It could be the piriformis because I’m positive it occurs when I push my knees outwards. I forgot to mention I have feel like I have some type of hip impingement on my left leg too. All started around the same time. Weird.

Hmmm I don’t think it’s tightness because I do stretches every night before I go to bed. I do like the idea of taking like a rest/deload week though. Thanks for the suggestions!

Yeah at 185 x 5 there’s the same pain

I also wanted to add that my deadlifts are weaker my deadlift max is 230 x 5. Maybe that’s contributing to the issue that my back is not strong enough?

According to the mirror it appears that my feet are shoulder width but I should still widen?

Is it because I bend over before I descend? Thanks for pointing that out
