I don't body build, but keep the squats. I'll let the rest of RS regulars chime in but Squats>db lunges.

i know, but thats why i wanna ad another exercise with the db lunges to replace squats.. the squat rack at fitness world isnt like the one i use to use at planet ice.. where there is a bar down below so incase you can lift the weight up, you can go down without injury.. and i like to do it myself, id perfer not asking people for spots unless its bench press or something

I am confused.
Do you mean the power rack? Or, the smith machine? There should be pins for the power rack regardless. If there are no pins, to bail out of a back squat, you just hop forward. But I understand that the fitness world crowd will probably think you are a freak.
Not sure what you mean by going down without injury. Not telling you to squat atg but below parallel is doable for body builders.

i think he just doesnt want to be the guy bailing out of a squat.
you could do leg presses that will work your legs almost as much as a squat, but you wont gain the core strength or little stabilizor strength from it.

stick to one movement each workout.. keep it simple. Push (chest/shoulder/tri) pull(back/bi) and legs. no point in doing shoulders on leg day.
