For Isabadman and Shelby - teardrop busters

[mountaindog1]

My favorite set from this weekend.

Great finisher - wanted to go heavier on the squat machine, but nursing a pulled groin from slipping on a wet floor. This was last set of workout...great way to finish.

Others - make sure you do this last, and not until you already have some good teardrop/vastus medialis development, or it will be a patellar tendon buster..hahah

Awesome. Platz did hacks like that, right? I've done them before... you need good ankle flexibility too. They hit the calves a bit too.

Here's Justin doing them a while back:

Nice.....ala Platz.......I do those as well......I put my feet at the bottom on the platform as well [ I do my reg hack with the down there as well ,heels together ,toes out , let feet roll on to balls of the feet every rep on the way down and knees over toes.........way harder than reg hacks .....but keeps hips and butt out of it much better and seems to also stress the tear drops and vastus lateralus as well] ...............That was a brutal set ......were you leg pressing on a calf machine or is that a type of leg press? ....looked like you were getting some nice contractions from it ..............cool stuff ......thanks for sharing

Ahh yes I remember doing those after seing Plats do them but its been a while since I've done them...but they kill.

Tears drops is what I need to improve, the most stubborn bodypart on me other than my arms so that super set looks like something I'm going to have to do.

Good tip and vid my friend.

yeah platz and larry scott used that movement.. i used to try them once in a while years back until my rupture quad.. (not from that movement).. adds great size to the medialis and knee area.. john do you do alot of superset or combinations in your training? i have started recently as a way to up the intensity without having to try and add weight constantly as my joints at my age are not cooperating lol..
