i use dumbells at my sides for squats instead of barbell. what weight would you use? i have been using 12 pd dumbells.

sounds good! i've noticed on barbell squats you have not gone any higher than 40 pds so i was just wondering if there's a limit as to how much weight for using dumbells for squats.

I use one twelve pound dumbbell for squats myself. I've almost worked up to fifteen pounds (I'm about 3 weeks into my new strength training program, so I wanted to start off a little slower since I am prone to injury if I try to do too much too soon).
