Dumbbells and Barbells are known as "Free Weights" in fitness lingo, because they're not attached to any machines.

Here's a site with workouts:

Answer 2

Hi,

You'll want to work with heavier weights and lower repetitions (6-8). If you haven't worked out before I recommend getting ahold of some good books first. Arnold Schwartzenneger's Body Buliding Encyclopedia has some great information and pictures. It's also very important to make sure you eat the right amounts of proteins, etc. Again, there are a lot of good books out there that you can buy on-line.

Good luck!

Answer 3

There are so many options and muscle groups, they can't all possibly be explained in one email. I would suggest picking up a couple issues of Muscle and Fitness. They always give a lot of techniques that can be used for dumbbells, barbells, or cables.

Answer 4

in order to increase muscullar mass, you have to do all the exercices with a lot of weight and few repetitons, start with a few weight and grow with it.

Answer 5

The basics
deadlift, shoulder press, bench, incline bench, squats, shrugs, barbell curls.
These will all give you the biggest gains of all.

pull ups are free of charge.
dumbells can tone your muscles, and to build them you need to lift heavy, preferably a barbell
