#Big quad sweep full
To develop bigger teardrops, start leg extensions with two or three sets going through just the top half of the ROM, and then finish with two or three sets at full ROM. Messages 10,731 1 I need more sweep for my quads, any suggestions I am not afraid to work them, at 49, I can still squat 405 for 8 reps. So, for better outer-quad sweep, start leg extensions by doing two or three sets through just the first half of the ROM and finish with two or three sets at full ROM. The Miami researchers found that when the subjects performed the leg extension in the middle of the ROM (about 120-150 degrees), the vastus lateralis received the majority of the focus in the last 30 degrees of the ROM (about 150-180 degrees), the vastus medialis was the major focus. For reference, when you do a leg extension, you start with your knees bent at about 90 degrees and finish with your legs fully extended at 180 degrees. Researchers from the University of Miami (Coral Gables, Florida) tested the muscle activity of the quad muscles through different ranges of motion during leg extensions. However, there’s another method to use during leg extensions to shift emphasis to diferent quad muscles: partial range of motion.
Huge, thickly developed, sweeping quads can dominate a bodybuilding show. Pointing your toes outward places more emphasis on the vastus medialis (the teardrop muscle). Mighty, well built quadriceps is a true sign of utter power on a physique. Pointing your toes inward places more emphasis on the vastus lateralis, which builds more outer-quad sweep. The normal position for leg extensions - toes pointing straight up - emphasizes the rectus femoris, for greater front-quad sweep.
