Yes it is better to squat with a barbell. Try learning to do a full clean. Clean the bar and then front squat it a bunch of times and you'll quads.

If you don't have a rack you could try weighted pistol squats for glutes, front squats for quads and Stiff Legged Deadlifts for hammies. Pretty much covers all bases.
Alternatively you could take Rippetoe's squat rack design to a metal shop and get a squat rack made up cheaply.Cutting to 10% body fat

i have done lunges and squats with my 17kg dumbells and that works but is doing squats with a barbell better then doing them with dumbells..? i'd appreciate some advice.. p.s( i'm not some pro bodybuilder so no hate just advice please) thanks!
