Hey Brothers and Sisters, I have been working my quads pretty hard the last couple months. My outside sweep is coming along pretty nice but the inside toward my groin is lacking. I am looking for some lifts to up the ante and fill out the inside as well. Anyone have any specialties? Thanx for the help, Peace~Bulldozin

Wide stance on a hip sled (leg press) made mine grow. Infact I think there over developed from my outside sweep now.
the hip adduction hits that area
try to keep your heels out when you squat..

I have the same problem, my outer sweep is huge though. i find this wierd because I do everything wide stanced. Does this mean I have to go even wider or what?

The adductor machine can work wonders in that area. Just look at Dave Henrys legs from the last Ironman compared to Olympia he competed in before that.

See now, I didn't know this..thanks for this tip.
the adductor comment is very,, very true...i usually hit that last, varying in between leg extensions.
i usually do 3 sets, w/moderate weight, squuezing the hell outta the end of it.
also, if you vary the way you point your toes on extensions, it'l hit the sweeep differently.
point your toes out = inner sweep
piont you toes in = outer sweep
try doing 21's on the adductor, you won't be able to close your legs completely for a couple of days- not necessarily a bad thing
