Do step ups work hamstrings? Yes, step ups work hamstrings, quadriceps, and the gluteal muscles. Do lunges make your hamstrings bigger?

Leaning forward in lunges and going low in squats help work the hamstrings well. Are lunges more quad or hamstring dominant? An upright lunge is more quad dominant. However, leaning forward works the hamstrings.
