March 1 (Day 54)

Hammy felt good today, but I still went lighter on legs. Don't want to push it too hard and re-aggravate the pull. Still getting some pain when I try to do straight leg deads, so I'm just sticking to leg curls for the time being.

Thanks brother! You're def going to see some solid legs! Can't wait to start throwing around heavy weight on leg day again!

youll bounce back soon enough. I never thought Id say it but I miss my heavy sets of squat. This ankle of mine needs to heal up soon.
 
What exercise will build up your lower legs and really bring out that teardrop shape near the knee?

What really worked for me is medium stance leg press low on the platform with my toes pointed out...and an ass of a defensive line coach back in the day that would make us hold static squats for 1 minute +

I'm going to try that one....minus the defensive line coach.

Leg extensions are best, or any type of squat/press with your feet very narrow apart.

I've found that narrow stances hit my outer quads much more

Soooo...feet narrow or feet more apart to kill your lower quad muscle fibers? What's the verdict here
 
It depends...lower inner quad I have more luck with them slightly more spread and toes out. Lower outer narrow stance toes pointing straight forward.
 
the narrower the better if that is the specific area you want. The "tear drop" is responsible for extending the lower leg so really the only thing that hits it directly are extensions.

Good info i wanted to hear. So leg extensions are going to bring out my tear drops more. Im hitting these hard

I must've gotten lucky then! Because I never did a single leg extension until a couple months ago and I had the 'teardrop' long before!
