Question squats for outside sweep

took some pics today for before and after shot of first HST routine. i looked at my legs and it looks like I am missing a muscle! I have absoulutly no outer sweep on my quads. WTF. i am really worried but is there a sertain way you have to stand in a pose to get them to show up or do i just have really shitty legs . i just started HST squats are my main quad exr. should i stick with them and see what they look like at they end or maybe go to front squats i herd they are really good for the out side sweep.
thanks . later

toes and knees pointed outward. the long head of your quad, the one you inject in is the one that gives you the sweep. unless I'm missing one .......11

that and keep your heels fairly close.

To see what I mean, grab a bar with warm up weight on it and do 20 squats with your feet shoulder width apart. Then put your heels around 4 inches apart (angle toes slightly out) and do 20 reps.
See what areas you feel...it should be pretty obvious. Good luck - big qauds are there for the taking - you just gotta work to get 'em.
Good luck!

PS - so how are you liking HST?

iam liking hst alot ! i think i have lost maybe a little fat one or two pounds my upper abs are coming in more but lowers are still covered i can feel them but cant see them yet. i still want to grow so i eat alot but try to keep my diet really good. mediam carbs, fat and lots of protien. i am on my second week of 15s and am doing great so far, i have pics and want to compare at the end of cycle and if i can muster the curage i will post them when iam done. i will try to move my feet around friday and see what i can get i really want to find a good form by the time i hit 5s . i still have a little trouble with balance when i squat but iam working through that and almost have it down . i never really squated this much before so this (15s) is helping me out alot. thanks for the info and i have another post in training i will keep up dated when i get another week done.

Aside from genetic factors, all of your muscular woes will be solved when you attain an appreciable amount of mass.

It's like the guys who spend all day at the crossover station try to give their "pecs" shape. If they had any pecs to begin with, then they would already have the shape.

Get what I'm saying?

exactly grizz. and to add to this, if you do squats with a very close stance as described above, you WILL end up using far less weight than if you used a normal stance. if you end up using less weight you WILL build less muscle. and that will not give the big vastus lateralis or the sweep that you seek.

get what i'm saying?

Ed Coan gets what you're saying, Chip. He's got some damn decent quads and he squats wide with no less than 600lbs, I would imagine.

crew, i would not mess around with your stance during the HST. You have already determined your maxes based on how you currently are performing your squats. Not discounting Johns advice at all. Just for your situtation, now is not the appropriate time.
