I have heard you comment in other threads that you have tight hips (and I did watch the Dan John squat instruction FitCast video!) ... but honestly some of it can just be structure ... there is a differing amount of torsion between the hip and knee along the femur that is normally variant in people ... some have more torsion than "normal" and therefore are referred to as having retroverted hips ... and others have less and are referred to as having anteverted hips. Without examining you in person, there is no way to know if you are truly retroverted or just tight ...
