I can get close, but I feel some tightness in my hip flexors.

I can squat fine with dumbbells at my side. Not all the way down, but below parallel. But when I try it with a broomstick or bar on my shoulders, it changes everything. If I go too far, I feel like I'm going to topple or can't get back up.
