If you're looking to focus more on the quads, an upright torso position is best.
Taking a longer stride (with a vertical tibia) is more hip-oriented version; taking a shorter stride with a slightly angled tibia is a more knee (quad) oriented version.
So, if you're really trying to hammer the quads, you'd combine an upright torso with a slightly reduced stance length that creates a tibia angle similar to one involved in a standard squat.
If you're not as strong or as jacked as you want to be, there's probably a very simple reason for it: You're doing the wrong exercises. Check this out.
