I'm just not sure how to alleviate the pain, it seems like I can alleviate it enough for all other movements, but as soon as I return to 1APs, I aggravate it again. Has anyone had experience with this?

Hello,
@westsider19
Do you have an history injury ? If this is the case, it may be worthy to see a physio and consider what he has to see regarding the topic
How is your technique ?
If hip mobility is the issue, there are several article worth reading:
Then, as far as the OAP is concerned, you can video yourself, then compare to the tips listed in the articles below:
Otherwise, do you stretch ? If so, how do you do so ?
What are the other moves you can perform ?
But once again, if this is really serious, see a physio, safety first
Kind regards,
