VMO(teardrop) vs. Lateralis(sweep)?

[TooPowerful4u]

Something is fucked up goin on with my legs. It is startin to get noticeable that my VMO is gettin a lot bigger than my sweep. My VMO dominates ever type of leg movement i can think of. I get such a painful pump there that i can hardly deal with it, yet NOTHING in the sweep no matter what movement or foot position i use (and iv tried a lot). After workouts, only my VMO is sore, sweep feels fine. Only time sweep is ever sore the next day or two is if i beat the shit out of my legs til i almost pass out and cant stand up out of a chair for 15min, and thats gotta be overtraining.

Any ideas?

I am not sure what you have tried and what you haven't but see if these work. Do uni-lateral stationary lunges. either use a smith machine or DBs. just place your foot in front of you and go up and down with out moving the foot like most people do. I feel these a lot in my ass, hams and a bit more in my outer thigh.
