  • Want a better outer quad sweep? Don't worry, there's hope!
    I was scrolling through some of the videos other creators made and was shocked at the lazy answers that were given. These are some people I really respect like Dave Palumbo and John Meadows but the advice to simply "just squat more" or "your limited by genetics" wasn't sitting right with me. Simply because I know that those aren't true.
    Unless you have really great genetics then squatting is a really hard exercise to connect to, they really depend on you biomechanics and not genetics. Also, the bigger issue then being bound to poor genetics is that you need to find exercises that really connect to your vastus lateralis. That's the quad muscle that makes up the outer part of your quad.
    The key is to take all the pressure off your vastus medialis (the more inner quad that becomes dominant for most people) and only do exercises that really hit that out vastus lateralis. The exercises I do in the video really laser focus in on that.

Ecspecially when he talked about holding the dumbbells slightly out in front to better target quads when doing split squats, and pushing thighs together and driving through heels to better target outer quads when doing leg press.

    Big imbalance on my left leg. It’s creating knee problems. Went to a PT clinic last week and was elated to learn that I don’t need any kind of surgery for a torn ligament and that this was my problem. Of course, now that I need to run out the door and do something about it, I turn to your channel. Always direct, clear, and to the point. Along that line, your more recent videos seem to try to add a lot of humor and stuff. That’s fine. Some of it’s pretty funny and if it’s who you are, then that’s what you should be doing, right? But the thing that brought me to your channel and kept me there was the no nonsense tone of it. There’s so much bullshit out there. I’m frankly sick to death of it. Your tone (obviously in addition to the applied knowledge you bring) is something that is undeniably refreshing. Just food for thought. Thanks so much for all the wisdom you’ve imparted. Between you and one other channel (no names, but it exists on pretty much the opposite side of the spectrum as far as video length goes), I’ve been slowly correcting imbalances and avoiding the kind of injuries I used to incur regularly. I can’t even tell you how thankful I am to you (and that other guy) for this.
