Will your quads and glutes get larger using a Stairmaster vs an elliptical or just more toned?

Your quads and glutes will get slightly(and I mean barely noticeable) larger on those machines if you haven't worked those muscles in a long time (via new stimuli). But usually those machines dont put enough "oomph" into those muscles to cause them to grow significantly. So you shouldn't worry too much about getting a "bigger than necessary" buttocks, lol.
You can get those muscles "toned" up real nice with a good diet and consistent exercise.
