The only differences between the two are:
(a) Center of gravity
(b) Personal preference
Besides that, ust see which one feels most comfortable.

I use DBs myself, but I just started doing lunges...i'll move on to BB soon.
I love lunges! For people with lower back injuries who have a problem doing rear squats (I do), then lunges + front squats are a GREAT substitute. Front squats, for some reason, do not aggrevate my lower back injury (whereas rear squats do).

Barbell lunges are better. End of discussion.
Here-(copy and paste from my previous post in sticky)

THIS IS HOW I RECOMMEND DOING LUNGES (Always with a barbell, never dumbells because you can swing them to create momentum and you can also move them forward or backwards to place lesser stress on the quad and more on the lower back).

I have found these far superior to front stepping, and these feel much more natural. I recommend doing these alternating instead of one leg at a time.
For added hardcoreness and Quad isolation-these can be done with the barbell in front squat position (arms crossed)Last edited by RU4A69; 10-06-2005 at 12:48 PM.

Thank you! I had shoulder replacement surgery this year and I am still unable position my hands on the barbell do to range of motion. Therefore I can only use dumbbells at this time. I was also curious if it made a difference in which I used. That being said...the fact that I am using anything at all is still better than doing nothing at all! Just nice to know it doesn't matter.
