    Leg extensions with toes puinting out always helped my teardrops. Toes pointing out generally help to work the inner thigh muscles more.
    Thats complete "broscience". The angle of your toe either in or out has no effect on what muscle fibers in your quadriceps contract. All it's doing is adding a lot of extra torque on your knee. The knee is the fulcrum in the movement and remains stationary,the direction the toe is pointed has no effect on what happens above the joint.

    I know you are attributing your tear drop development to doing them with your toes pointed out but I would propose it was just just from the movement itself.

    Actually I noticed a greater improvement in my teardrop and adductors when I started squatting with a wider stance and my toes pointed out.
