Thank you all for your replies. There is some disagreement among you, which of course leads me to conclude this may have much to do with my individual body mechanics. I tend to point toes OUT on squats, so will try pointing them inwards, that seems universal among you. I do not have access to leg press machine at the moment, but will put more emphasis on front squats. I recently have started lunges, and will put more emphasis on them, as I agree it feels like the teardrop muscle is hit hard by that exercise. I kind of like doing lunges anyhow. I also have been considering doing legs twice a week, perhaps once for heavy and once for reps, that was a thought anyhow. I don't know if I can do legs heavy twice a week, but I know I could do a rep leg day between the heavy sets. I have debated with myself whether to pre-exaust legs with leg extensions, or do them after squats, to finish them off. Like all of us, I want to lift my max weight on squat, and I can't do that if I pre-exhaust, so I've been inclined to do squats first, then front squats, then lunges, then finally extensions. Also, because extensions are a machine, it matters not at all if my legs fail completely, but that would be bad with the squat, I could end up stapled to the floor (just joking guys). I also appreciate the suggestion to try one leg extensions and to try supersetting with squats and extensions.
Another thought I just had would be a day of just squats and extensions, and a second day of front squats (or hacks), lunges and extensions. I kind of like that program, now that I've said it, what do you guys think?
I hate to sound like an idiot, but what are sissy squats? I've heard the phrase often, but have no idea what they are. I also don't know what "ATF back" squats are, unless Nico meant "hack" squats.
I'm glad to hear there are others with this problem, lacking the inner (teardrop) quad makes the legs look way less strong than they should, given the outer quad development.
