The hamstrings must relax.
When you Bend your Leg your hamstring contracts and your quadriceps relax

When you move your lower knee, primarily the quadriceps muscle in the front of the thigh will contract to extend the knee. Conversely, the hamstring muscles at the back of the thigh will relax to allow this movement. When bending the knee, the hamstrings contract while the quadriceps relax. This coordinated action enables smooth movement of the knee joint.
Muscles on one side of the joint have to relax in order for the muscles on the other side of the joint to contract. Example would be the quadriceps would have to relax and lengthen in order for the hamstrings to flex.

Quadricepts
The antagonist muscle in the flexion of the knee is the quadriceps muscle group. When the knee is being flexed, the quadriceps relax to allow the hamstrings to contract and bring about the flexion movement.
in the arm: bicep contracts (agonist) triceps relax (antagonist) in the leg: hamstrings contract (agonist) quadriceps relaxes (antagonist) remember the agonist is the muscle "agonising" to do the work - like pulling the joint.
When your quadriceps bulge out, these muscles are likely contracting. Contraction of the quadriceps muscles results in a bulging appearance due to increased tension and activation of the muscle fibers.
My quadriceps are sore. The coach's most dreaded words were, "Prepare to stretch your quadriceps".
The antagonist muscle used in a leg curl is the quadriceps, located at the front of the thigh. During a leg curl, the hamstrings contract to flex the knee, while the quadriceps must relax and lengthen to allow this movement. This reciprocal inhibition helps facilitate smooth and controlled leg movements.
