I work out alone all of the time. I just like using the headphones & going into my own world.
Just use common sense. If you are going to hit heavy weights, ask someone for a spot. Most times, people are more than happy to help out.
I also agree with the dumbell approach. I also like it b/c it gives more range of motion for the exercises. The down side of that is that you really ave to watch your form. Whenever possible, use a mirror to watch your form.
