quads are used muuuuch more frequently in just day to day use. thats why you see so many folks pullin hamstrings from not havin a good balance between the two.
its also why i feel like a little girl trying to do reverse leg curls w/ only 60lbs...

depends on what you define as big.
If length is what you are looking at, then hamstrings are longer.
If you are looking for sheer mass, quads are bigger

What are good leg exercises? Just started working them a bit more. I was doing a lot of upper body to catch up cause I had super big calves good hammys from biking so much and flabby little arms. I did leg curls and reverse leg curls as well as leg press and calf lifts.

squats are really good for you. just make sure you have a good stance and you go down low enough. otherwise you wont work your hamstrings out as much as you should.
doing forward lunges w/ weights in each hand do wonders too. focus on form.
