    Nice alternative, especially if you use dumbells heavy enough, but they are
    more like deadlifts than squats, that is if you use them by hanging them to
    your side.

    Alternate with lunges and step-ups and you'll get some good squatting done.
    This is what I did before switching to a gym where I could use a barbell to
    squat and deadlift. I still do dumbbell lunges though.

    What do you do if you're squatting 250 lbs? It's hard to hold onto two
    125 lb dumbbells. Or do you just have to adjust your reps/sets?


    why? use straps if you have to

    Better than straps are hooks. I bought some "hookers" (not the fun kind
    either) from bodybuilding.com. The hook holds onto the weight just fine and
    it's easier than dealing with straps, IMHO.
