I have a limited equipment at home - adjustable dumbbells that go up to 40 kg (88 lbs) each. Would it be fine to have a main Squat lift as DB Squat (holding them by my side) or DB Bulgarian Split Squat? DB Squat seems to be closer to a traditional BB Squat, but BSS can be overloaded more eventually. Which one I should focus on as my main lift?
