The squat rack isn't the only piece of exercise equipment that will help you build a stronger lower body. Dumbbell only workouts are a perfect substitute if you can't get your hands on a barbell or if you simply don't like working with this type of weight. Get to know these four dumbbell exercises for your next lower body pump.

Working with a standard pair of dumbells or a pair of the best adjustable dumbbells is a great way to work with a wide range of exercises that target all the major muscle groups in the lower body, such as lunges, goblet squats, glute bridges and Romanian deadlifts.
