    If done right, lunges should work more the hamstrings and glutes than the quads.

    Reasonable question. Lunges could potentially make thighs bigger if you're in a calorie surplus. It's not possible to get big in a calorie deficit, regardless of the exercise or how much you lift. Lyndsey already knew this, but not everyone does. :+1:

    To Lunge or not to Lunge is the question while on deficit.
