The squat is a triple flexion movement ( ankle, knee, hip) and because you have more joints moving...you have more muscles working. The squat demands more stored energy, oxygen and stabilization. In conclusion exercises that demand more joints moving enhances the caloric expendature. I would think " big quads" is up to genetics, and other factors regardless of the exercise. However keep squating because clinical studies conclusively state squats help hormone levels. Todd,

Keep your quads big to help stay lean. Keeping your quads big will also stimulate the rest of your body to grow bigger, more easily. Lastly, keeping your quads big looks great. Having big guns and little quads makes a person look like a gorilla, not a stud. Big quads are your biggest calorie burners. Keep your quads big to help stay lean.
