How To Train Your Inner Quads - Vastus Medialis "The Teardrop"

I’ve been weight training for 25 years. This guy is by far the best source of no BS content I have found in any application. Magazines, books, web, whatever. This channel is going to blow up. Anyone that is serious about gains and getting better needs to see this stuff. We need to keep sharing this channel with anyone that works out. Keep it up!!

Chris Jones teaches great techniques too

[@martinez209]

Same here. 25+ years and I've gained more in the past 3 months of Ryan's advice then all my years combined. And i worked at a top level gym for years! Lol

try Mike Mentzer... he's dead now but H.I.T is by far the best way to train

[@westonstevens3239]

This video has solved my knee pain in both knees after struggling with patellofemoral pain for YEARS. All it took was a few sessions on the leg extension machine as described in this video. I had long suspected there was a muscular imbalance causing my pain, but this video confirmed that it was a weak VMO. I've seen countless doctors, PTs, you name it. I tried strengthening my abductors, my hamstrings, my IT band, my calf muscles, and I also tried VMO exercises in the past, but they weren't effective like in this video. I've also tried foam rolling, stretching, tapings, tons of different bracings, heat therapy, PRP, yoga, deep massage, etc etc. But the simple modified leg extension in this video solved it. Studies claim that the VMO can't be isolated. While this is true, it CAN be emphasized more than the vastus lateralis which is commonly overstrengthened. Thank you!

[@sergioviccinialonzo501]

man I hope this works for me, as soon as the gyms open I'll do that too. My pain has been killing me too for almost two years, I had to kiss goodbye to hiking, running, lifting, and so many other things I loved doing because of the damn pain. I developed patellar maltracking after arthroscopy and a bad recovery...I wouldn't wish this even to my worst enemy. This thing has cost me almost 20 pounds of muscle loss. Your comment gives me a bit of hope.

[@knotsable]

Get a better doctor ...

[@LV-hf7dx]

Your comment give hope !! I have an anterior external pain on my left knee since 2 years and recently diagnosed as a patella femoral problem with chondropathie. I've tried everything, only ice relieve the pain. I will try these exercices at the gym, I hope I get good result like you. Cheers !

Thanks so much!!!!! Everything I got came from a physical therapy perspective for people who had weak Quads overall. Ive been dealing with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome as my Vastus Lateralis has grown notlicibly but mot so much the VMO. Tweaking my leg workout in this manner has really helped a lot.

[@texaslovelylady]

You are the first person who gets it right with a channel. Thank you because for years I have listened to people tell me turn toes in to hit Vastus Medialis and it's atrophy is significant. I tried some of your exercises just with manual pressure and my Vastus Medialis was shaking! 🤩Love you!

This is gold. I've been battling itbs and knee valgus for over one year. Left the gym due to knee pain and swelling, I've been looking to going back to the gym. And I've been looking for the right exercise that won't aggravate the knee pain. I just stumbled on this. Would definitely try these out and see how it goes. The exercises are so logical and well thought for patients living with knee pain and are body builders.

[@12breacher82]

I’ve got knee problems, not exactly sure the cause other than wear and tear in the military, some minor twisting injuries I tough through, and overloading squats. Resulted in tendonitis and degrading cartilage. Dialing the weight back, and doing all of these leg exercises and half reps focusing on the growth side of lifting instead of just power has really helped strengthen my knees and allowed me to continue to progress in fitness. Thanks for all the vids and advice dude, and keep it up!

leg extension (feet wide) (poss: unilateral variation) diagonal leg press ( dorsi flexion )(feet 1010 and wide) diagonal leg press ( wider feet) dorsiflexion) (stay in rom) static lunge with barbell (driveknee out) walking lunges (wide feet) (within rom)

[@timmyxuereb3083]

sissy squat variation toes out (plantar flexion)

[@timmyxuereb3083]

add plate under front foot for split squats

[@Publiclighthouse]

So, I get the place,eat of feet on the leg press - either turning the toes out or a wide stance with the toes off the platform (these are variations in the horizontal plane). But how do you know where to place your feet in terms of the vertical plane? In other words, How do you know where your feet go relative to how far away they are to the plane of your body. With your heels directly below your shoulders, that would be in the plane, but it looks like the feet are more above that?

This is so wild. I'm not a noob, years and years in the gym. Took a couple years off, and just trying to re-educate myself, as always. The form on the leg raises lights up my outside quad. I have overpowered outside quad from the time off. I found that I can really light up interior with knees close, feet wide, toes out and curled up. Moght just be an over powered outer quad situation.
