Leg Training - Targeted Leg Extension Exercises

There are ways to target your outer, inner and upper / middle Quadriceps muscles. The first we will talk about is the Teardrop Muscle

Exercise for the Vastus Medialis -

• This is known as the Teardrop Muscle in your Thighs, the Inner Quadriceps Muscle. Point your toes out at about a 45 Degree angle while performing Leg Extensions. This places more emphasis on the Vastus Medialis and helps to define and target this quadriceps muscle.

To place more emphasis on the Outer Quadriceps

• During Leg Extensions point your toes inward at about a 60 degree angle from the floor. This will focus and place more tension on your outer Quads called the Vastus Lateralis.

Inner Quadriceps Muscle Training -

• Perform Leg Extensions with your toes pointed straight up. This Leg Muscle is called the Rectus Femoris, the higher quad muscle in the middle of your thighs.
