Personal Trainer Uses Dumbbell Converters for Barbell Squats

POV: Turns Out Dumbbells Do Know Squat

You've probably heard the phrase “doesn’t know squat” — but with Dualbell, your dumbbells actually do.

In this demo video clip, NY personal trainer Ray Simpson puts Dualbell to work on barbell squats, showing how simple it is to turn a regular set of dumbbells into a barbell setup — no plates, no problem.

Squatting With Dumbbells — the Smart Way

Using Dualbell, Ray slides his dumbbells into the adapters, secures them on a standard bar, and starts squatting. The result? A full barbell squat feel, with a little extra, powered entirely by dumbbells.

No need for bulky plates or extra storage space — just the gear you already have.

Why It Works

Traditional barbell squats require weight plates. Dualbell changes that by letting you:
✅ Use your existing dumbbells as barbell weight
✅ Perform compound lifts at home without the clutter
✅ Store the setup in a small drawstring bag when you’re done

It’s the same movement, same strength training benefits — just a smarter setup for home gyms.


From Dumbbells to Full Lifts

Squats are just one of more than 50 exercises you can do with Dualbell. From bench press to deadlifts and landmine training, your dumbbells become the most versatile tools in your gym.

Because now, dumbbells don’t just sit there during barbell moves — they squat.
