Upper legs

NBaldwin · 12-08-2003, 08:25 PM

I have pretty decent development on my lower legs and a good sweep but my upper legs do not seem very big. The inside uppers need some work. I currently do squats, leg extensions and leg curls. Would some deadlifts help out there? Thx

do you have access to an Adductor machine?

if not, you can do what I used to call "frog presses" on a leg press, you point your toes out sideways, this will hit the adductors as well.

No, I workout in my garage. I have a squat rack so that has been my main leg workout. Nathan

yeah, you can do squats with your toes pointed out, be careful though....preference is a leg press mainly for safety.

Will the upper legs get hit enough on regular squats?

you confuse me when you say "upper leg", you do mean adductors (inner thigh), right?

sure they get hit with regular squats, but if it's a lagging area for you, then you can put some emphasis on that area of the leg.

Yeah I guess I mean the inner thigh. Sorry for the confusion. Will a wide stance on a dead lift target the inner thigh more?
