can you substitute dumbbells?

Can you substitute dumbbells?Can you substitute dumbbells with regular bench press weights, for training like, dumbbells flies, squats, and Alternate Hammer Curl. They're 5 lb each so 10 pounds total will I be fine?

Yea it's possible...there was this website that had a 12 week program based solely off of alternations of push-up. Worked like a charm. ;) But in your case, yes, it will work. It might take a bit longer to see some results since you aren't bench-pressing with dumbbells, but you'll still get the results you're looking for.
