Quad Sweep/Outter Quad Development

[zee-man]

Ive seen real improvement personally these past couple months with hack squats. I can really feel my outer quads during the set. No where near impressive legs on me but I do note improvement from this exercise from before.

Impressive quads are an admirable goal.

Narrow you're stance on all leg movements

How do you deal with the lower back strain?? I'm 6'1" and when I do high volume squats my lower back gets so fucking jacked I can't even walk. I have been doing box squats or 5 rep MAX back squats which sucks cause i want to be able to get that pump in em.

u know what really targets my legs and not my lower back (im 6'4'' and have long legs) is that i do squats last. not so much that i cant push myself but i do some hams and leg extrensions walking lunges and some high rep leg press and by the time i do squats i cant feel it in my back AT ALL just all legs. if i do squats first it seems my lower back is recruited more and the back pumps suck. i will prob switch it up here and there because i can do more weight if i do squats earlier but its all about working the targeted muscle and not just pushing a bunch of weight

I use a frog stance from time to time, seems to beat my knees up but diffidently targets that area

I did 5 sets of squats today after already doing legs for over 2 hours....135 on the smith for twenty reps was all I could do.
