Squats using Dumbells

[snain]

Hi,
I have come to US for a temporary assignment in Boston. I started going to the Fitness center in my office building and found that they don’t have barbells and I will have to do all my exercises using Dumbbells.
Is it OK to do squats using dumbbells? Any suggestions on the form?

Thanks
Sandeep

You will find that your workout load is severely restricted by the narrow stance and trap/grip strength. If they have a good leg press unit, this alternative might work better for the later stages of a cycle.

I am already finding it difficult.
They don't have the leg-press unit. So I have switched to single legged squat, which doesnt require heavy weights.
