DB's only
You can do squats with them . I did them like that for awhile .Just pick them up let them hang at your side and squat .

squats, lunges, believe it or not you can actually do hamstring curls with a dumbell. Here's a website that will help you a little bit more. http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/ThighWt.html

Do the squats one legged if you don't have overly large db's and you need more weights. Bump what everyone else said. The ham curls with the db's is pretty tricky to get used to, but it's doable once you get the knack for it.

I agree. Do one legged squats. In my opinon they are a great exercise. I wouldn't suggest using weight at the beginning though because it might take some time to get used to. Most ppl I know can't even do one legged squats without weight. So start without weight going to parallel if you can. Once you can do that fairly well than you can try adding weights to the one legged squat.Originally posted by NotRippedYet

Years ago, when I was first getting into Bodybuilding (obviously I backslid), before I could get my gym set up all I had was an adjustable bench and a bunch of dumbells. I did all of the exercises with them. All but Olympic lifts anyway (never had anybody to show me proper form). Deadlifts of all types, front/back squats, good mornings, hamstring curls, etc. Everything upper body as well.
Barbells are marginally superior, IMO, but dumbells can be used for anything if it comes down to it. It is certainly better to use them than do nothing at all.

It would really depend on the weight of your dumbells.
To a fit person, 5, 10 even 20 lb dumbbells wont really do too much in terms of strength gains and hypertrophy.
Thanks!
