On the last few reps I did, it started feeling tight and hurting a little as I lowered the weight toward me. My initial self talk was "don't be a puss, work through it". But I just stopped on it. I have always had issues with lower body flexibility. Pulled groin muscles playing football and whatnot. Maybe I need to start stretching the area more. I don't know.
Well smart that you did stop.
Is there a reason you were doing wide leg press?
I'm just looking at all the fatigue you accumulated up to that point.
Sumo stance bodyweight squats, side squats, adductor/abductor machines work as well for warmups. Anything to get bloodflow to them but not to tax them too much.
If you go back to a day like this, maybe lower the weight if you decide to do wide stance leg press to avoid wearing the groin down as much.
