My glutes grew HEAVILY last night

Low prowler pushes also engorges glutes, hamstrings with plenty of blood

Hamstrings are the main muscle engaged when the leg is up in front of you pressing down, like in a squat. Glutes are most engaged to swing the leg back behind/push the hips forward past the vertical plane, like in a sprint.

Sled drags and prowler pushes are great exercises for building up the development of 'whole body' force starting from the legs; the lower/more horizontal your angle of attack the more the hamstrings get engaged, while the higher/more vertical your angle the more the glutes get engaged (and also more core engaged too, to keep the spine stiff against the more perpendicular forces applied).
