The leg press is a great option when it comes to lower body exercises. However, to make it more quad dominant, you need to use a low and narrow stance on the foot plate. Stop reps when you reach full knee flexion, or you start gaining more hip flexion, rather than just going as deep as possible.
Front squats are the most quad dominant barbell squat variations, this is due to the front loading allowing you to stay more upright, minimising the hip range of motion and maximising the knee range of motion and forward travel.
Try wearing squat shoes or elevating your heels on a plate to make these even more quad dominant. For those that struggle with a front rack position, you could use a safety squat bar for a similar position. Try These 8 Tips. Similar to a front squat, the front loading allows you to keep a more upright torso angle and maximise range of motion at the knee.
Goblet squats allow an even more quad dominant range of motion, and are a safer option to push closer to failure and into higher rep ranges too. These are a great way to finish a session by performing drop sets or as many reps as possible sets.
A leg press is typically more knee dominant, and can be made more so by placing the feet low and narrow on the foot plate. To make it more hip dominant, you should place your feet high and wide on the foot plate. Goblet squats are quad dominant due to maximising range of motion at the knee and forward knee travel while limiting range of motion and loading at the hip.
Lunges can be performed in a more knee or hip dominant way. To make them more knee dominant keep a shorter stride, stay more upright and drive the knees forward over the toes. To make them more hip dominant, take a longer stride and aim to keep a more vertical shin angle.

Hip and knee dominance refers to the muscle groups and joints targeted by certain exercises. Knee dominant exercises will primarily train knee extension, targeting the quadriceps. Many exercises train and have aspects of both, but often focus on one or the other. These can also be tweaked by varying how you execute different exercises. You Maximise Range Of Motion At Different Joints With hip dominant exercise the goal is to often maximise the range of motion occurring at the hips, while limiting it at the knee.

Neither hip dominant or quad dominant exercises are better than each other. To Grow Your Glutes, Hamstrings And Adductors If your goal is to grow your glutes, hamstring and adductors, then including hip dominant exercises, or adjusting execution is going to be key.
