hmmm in my opinion, just go as heavy as u can.
if gripping is the problem, use straps.
it really makes a lot of difference.
coz, most of the time, ur grip wear u out 1st.
eg. lifting 50kg without straps, but u can do the same reps with 70kg perhaps with straps.

all u need is dumbell or barbell to do squats.
thats a good way to start. or do some lunges

I shrug 30kg dumbells and true enough, my grip goes first. But when i asked the big guys at the gym, they all said not to go for straps if the weight is still that light as it will impede my progress. They advise straps for >40kgs dumbell or >80kgs barbell

but then again, theyre westerners. what do you guys think. Caucasian genetics play a role? should I go for straps?

ps. I dont have any targetted forearm exercise in my routine so I'm thinking they may be right.

@darkie:
Its all well and good to use straps for pulling exercises, but when you start reaching heavy weights in things like dumbell flyes and presses, without the forearm strength to lock the wrist in place, isnt there a higher risk of injury?

ps. Im gonna avoid your gym, next to you I look like an anorexic twig tongue.gif
