Title: Flaring thighs?
Post by: BayGBM on March 19, 2008, 08:20:02 AM
Serious question: lots of dudes have big legs, but why do some guys have thighs that flare out like this?  Is it all genetic?  Is it from a certain kind of training?  Is there an exercise that specifically isolates the vastus lateralis muscle more than other leg muscles?

Trey Brewer and Wolf are two of the pros that come to mind has having this look.

Look at his knees in the first pic.  He is turning them out.  Its a posing trick to make your legs appear larger.

injecting there alot would obviously help.
known a few competitors who did it over a span of  2years...putting ALL their anabolics in the outer quads...and the sweep was insane.

genetics are the other half of the equation also.

GENETICS 1ST,train legs hard and change foot positions i think legs close stance and hacks close work legs well for that effect.toes point out slightly gets a good pump.and as gh15 would say hormonized for full effect.....

supposedly if you turn your toes inward while doing leg extensions your target the vastus lateralis muscle more effectively

yeah do some hack squats with your feet close together and point your toes slightly inward, you should feel it pretty deep in the outer quad

but of course, genetics play a role..   jonnie jacksonn has a great squat, but skinny legs..   markus rhul squats like a pussy, but has got some preetty awesome legs..

Injecting what? Gear is not going to make you grow specific body parts from site injections. Site injections do not work for growth. Your body overall will grow, but not one muscle group over another just because you inject there!

A lot of people will disagree with you, frequent injections from steroids can still rip the facia.

*A point of interest: Primobolan Depot (like Winstrol Depot) has been noted to
possess excellent site- injection qualities. This means that a lagging body part
became the injection site for dosages. Most who used this type of protocol did so after
training that body part to avoid bruising.

Can you point to or cite just ONE study that proves that bullshit up???? Didn't think so.

You need to stop listening to Greg Valvalino, or the Joe Weider "myths", or other gym myths.

No can`t point to any studies but I can`t point to studies that show steroids have no muscle enhancenent qualities and that gh doesn`t work- moron. I know from personnal use, sight injections work; obviously not as good as synthol but still work

mostly the way they are standing.  Chic's legs are not anywhere near the top of the pro ranks. In fact, his legs are what always marked him down on the score cards...

Yeah you get some major scar tissue eventually. And lots of inflammation in the short run.

I don't think the fascia is a limiting factor in muscle growth either so I doubt you get any growth from "stretching" it with injections.

if you don't get a decent sweep from regular old barbell squats and either hacks or presses you're not meant to have it, Chick is an excellent example of the ideal structure for bb'ing in my opinion, wide shoulders and great quad sweep.

Well put, I know Cutler said at first his legs measured small but due to there shape they looked huge. Some have it some don't, I sure as shit don't but I do believe there is some merit to localized growth threw sight injection.
