Outer Quad exercises

follow up
Just wanted to follow up with those that gave me advice and let you know any results I see. I'm giving this the priority in my legs (building outer quads), not really giving priority so to say, but just being more aware of it to see if I see or feel any changes.
I did my last leg workout on Wednesday, same routine as above (in the first post). The biggest change is that I went ALOT heavier on the hack squat machine, didn't think I'd get 3 sets out of it, but I did with a 10-8-6 rep count and pyramiding the weight 40lbs per set. The biggest change I made was in my technique. I placed my feet farther down on the platform (more under my ass than I had been before) and I also narrowed my stance a bit, feet were pointed slightly outward. All reps ended with a BIG contraction and Flex at the end, I tried not to "lock" my knees and unflex my quads but instead tried to keep constant weight on them throughout my set.
I kept my toes straight, not pointed in, during the extensions.
For the first time, I can actually feel soreness in my outer quad, this being 2 days later. So I would say that I feel like I actually worked them out pretty good (better than not feeling it like before). Only time will tell if I start to see them grow.

Um, what's the function of the outer quad opposed to the entire quad?
WTF??? Why not just do some deep, heavy squats and make your WHOLE quad sore. Not to mention making your ass and hams sore also. If you can still buy pants off the rack, then you don't need to be worrying about your outer quad.
A lot of times, people don't train their legs heavy enough to hit the whole quad. Let me let you in on a little secret... leg extensions aren't the answer.

That's actually pretty funny, I can't do this anymore, not saying that I'm huge (don't really know what my quads measure), but I usually wear a 30 inch waist in Jeans, always from the gap, and I can't fit into the the regular cut so I have to buy the baggy cut ones, and I usually jump a size or 2 in the waist to get a good fit, but they no longer sell them in the stores, I have to buy them on-line!!
And forget about suits, thank god for casual work dress, back when I had to wear a suit everyday, I just ended up getting custom suits made, cost a fortune ($500+) for just a normal suit.
