outer quad sweep

[afries]

i know hack squats are great for the outer quad sweep but my gym does not have a hack squat machine, are there any other exercises that are good for this? i have decent leg thickness but my outer quad sweep sucks

5'10 and 177 you need to squat. Once you get to about 235 or so you will see an outer sweep, you sure wont see it at 177.

Closer-stance squats have helped me develop my Vastus Lateralis substantially. I'd imagine the same could be said if you tried close-stance leg press etc.

Worth a go anyway.

Yes-narrow stance- narrow presses, and doing so on hacks great.. My gym doesn't have a hack machine either look into hack squats on smith machine.. Most importantly- at your height and weight, your number 1 priority should be overall size.

I agree with this. You need to reach a certain size and strength with the basic lifts before you should even worry about such minor things.

get to 225 front squat / 315 back squat, then, if the problem persists, additional exercises may be required
