The primary muscle group used in lunges is the quadriceps, hamstrings, and gluteus maximus. These muscles commonly insert at the tibia via the patellar tendon for the quadriceps, while the hamstrings insert at the tibia and fibula. The gluteus maximus primarily inserts on the femur and the iliotibial band. These insertion points facilitate knee and hip extension during the lunge movement.

What is the primary muscle use in a chin up?

Chin-ups, just as most exercises use a primary & secondary muscle group. The primary muscle group would be the back (or latissimus dorsi).

Depending on your grip position, you can focus either more on your "lats", or arms.
