Gluteus Maximus
The strongest, largest muscle in the body; the primary hip extensor and a lateral rotator of the femur.
Quadriceps
The four knee extensors — rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius (rectus femoris also flexes the hip); the leg-extension arc is ~90° (knee bent to straight).
Leg Presses (45 degree)Closely related
45-degree leg press working the quads and adductors; a supplementary substitute for the squat with no spinal compression.
SquatsClosely related
The squat is the main multi-joint lower-body lift. The knees and hips extend together, driven by the three vasti, the glutes and the adductors. Squat to at least thighs-parallel, deeper if you control it with a braced trunk and heels down, and let your knees travel forward over your toes as they naturally do.
Intensity
The amount of weight (resistance) lifted — also shaped by speed, reps, sets, rest interval, and workout duration.
