Why is this even debatable?
Lunges is not as EFFECTIVE as squat.
Squatting is hard work. It can be uncomfortable, it requires full concentration on the job in hand. Squatting works nearly the whole body - calves, quads, hamstrings, lower back, glutes, abdominals, heart and lungs etc. Because of the degree of difficulty, squats also force your body to release higher amounts of important anabolic hormones, such as testosterone and growth hormone, thus resulting in total body muscle growth.
They don't call it the King of ALL exercise for nothing
