TEAR DROP QUESTION

[cockdiesel]

ok i have a noticably huge tear drop but the outer tear drop i have trouble developing. is there a certain way i can do leg ext to focus on that more?

any suggestions?

Forget leg extensions. Try hack squats with your heels and toes together. It's great for the outer sweep.

Just FYI-the outer part (vastus lateris) is called the sweep-not the tear drop. The inner is the tear drop (vastus medius). No crime comitted , just though Id point it out.

Shit, regular squats with feet pointed straight and close are great too.

I AGREE.

I asked you that question a while ago, posted it here, and experimented already. Dont u remember us discussing this at the gym? I have proof my sweep is greatly improved, and i attribute it to two things.

1. When i squat or leg press i go DEEP and pause for a split second.

2. I very SLIGHTLY and as safely as possible let my knees flare out on leg presses and squats or front squats while keeping a shoulder width stance. It was said in the above thread knee positioning might have something to do with it, and now i believe i KNOW it does. Just seems that if i keep my weight distributed towards the outsides of my feet rather than the insides, i get a HUGE pump in my sweep and its finally developing nicly.
