Quad Sweep...

[The Shadow]

I have decent sweep and never had it tillI threw in Hacks lunges and feet together leg press

I have a decent sweep and it seems from all the year I trained doing squats with a relatively closed stance and hack squats. if they bother your knees try to lessen the weight and see if that help, if not then there is no need to get injured over a quadsweep....

see..hacks and a narrow foot placement on a pressing movement

I do believe that you can do closer stance hacks or smith machines and stress the quads or the sweep more. Just don't forget to hit squats and also build the entire legs bigger too...

true - squats bulit the bulk of my legs....

sure, messing with the stance will bring different muscles into play. give them more involvement over others. close stances put a great deal of stress on the quads, but individual muscles within the complex?

all this anecdotal evidence about hacks etc etc or close stance this or that leads to one conclusion...YOUR QUADS GREW...period. not your lateralus, or your vmo or intermedius. all 3 grew, and depending on your movement rectus femorus as well. you took the emphasis off of the adductors, less ham and glute involvement and the stress went to the quads.
