Leg Part II

Also, to really hit the outter portion, Vastus lateralis muscle; should I use a wide stance with feet in or out.

Ideas?

thanks

I would recommend a front squat on a smith machine with a medium stance and your legs in a v-format feet positioned out. This would give you the desired results fast

i agree with joel, do a closer leg width to target more of the outter. i like to do squats then immediately do weight lunges 4x8-10. then 1 extra set to failure.

i then do leg presses with varied leg positions just to target the muscles i did not hit during the squat and lunges.

i finish off my leg day with bodyweight squats 3x25 or 3x15 while holding against my chest a 35lbs plate.

thanks fella's- ill give this a shot and let you know- appreciate it

advanced sh*t vap. outer quad sweep=legs close. wide stance=inr quads. shoulder width=overall leg development. not necessarily correct but this is what seems to have worked 4 me

No, I think you are spot on DJones. I have been utilizing footplacement a lot and it has made a big difference. I usually do three sets of each on squats, narrower than shoulder, shoulder, and wider than shoulder with toes pointed out...

I think it has made a huge impact in my quad development too

I payed more attn to my foot placement yesterday morning, escpecially with the smith machine. All the way forward and wide and then close. I did the same on the horizontal leg press and upside down press. Really noticied a big difference. Prior to this, it was sticking to correct form and simply building strength.

Now that I have really emphasized working on my leg routine over the past few months, I feel I am ready for some advanced techniques. Anything but deadlifts! Still having that siatic nerve problem, which may be a disc related issue.

I have been working out, Dr has me on inflam steriods. I told him, if he gave me some D bol and winny, 16 week supply, we'd be straight.



Thanks guys
