Are there any dumbbell exercises equivalent to the basic squat?
I'm considering buying a good set of dumbbell weights (pro tip: get them on craigslist) and a bench so that I can work out at home. However, I'm a big fan of the squat, but I don't want to have to also buy an olympic weight bar and plates. Are there any exercises that can be performed with dumbbells that are mostly equivalent to the squat?
Thanks!

There are many one-legged squats and many require use of a bench. I like using dumbbells with a split-squat while having the rear leg on a bench. Very challenging and can be done when you don't have heavy weights available.
Here's a link to a video and info for a standard dumbbell squat:, you probably want to also look into front squats and overhead squats utilizing dumbbells.
