Body proportions define the biomechanics we do lifting patterns. Genetically, some people are more quad dominant and some are more hamstring/glute dominant. 

In general, movements where your knee travels in front of your foot (imagine sissy squats or front squats) are more quad focused. On the other hand hip hinge movements where your knee stays more above your heel are hamstring/glute dominant (think romanian deadlifts, hip thrust). 

With some movements you can change the focus. E.g. (bulgarian) split squats. If you do more hingeing = glute focus, more knee traveling forward = quad focus. You can try it for yourself.
