Both.
Concentric: Exercise where the muscle is contracted under a load
Eccentric: Exercise where the muscle is stretched under a load.
So when you squat down its eccentric, when you come back up its concentric.
Most exercises are both, with a few exceptions (i.e. jumping of a wall is mainly eccentric, while a punch is mainly concentric.
Eccentric contraction is associated with increased muscle growth, but also DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness, when your muscles are very sore after a workout).
