is the smith machine good for lunges, i kinda feel it restricts my motion a little too much, do you do alternating legs, or one leg at a time on the lunges?

I do one leg at a time. hopefully after a while I will go to using a BB. it's even difficult for me to do them with db as my legs are well spent when I get to this exercise..

I personally like BB lunges in the squat rack. One leg at a time.

same here, do you sometimes put a box or something to step on so your front foot is higher,
if i do alternating leg lunges i like to grab some db's and go across the room, what is pretty gnardly workout is to go straight one time, then backwards, then straight, then lunge forward with a skiers type lunge, awesome exercise for the end of the leg w/o

During Romanian deadlifts you keep the bar a good 6+ inches away from your legs as you bend down. For straight legged deadlifts, the bar stays right by your shins.

Right now I'm doing plain-vanilla P/RR/S, but I seriously enjoyed Ian King's Limping series for legs. It's here, http://www.getbuffed.net/pagetwo.htm, bit of the way down the page, "Lower Body Training Program."
