Jonathan,

It really depends on what you want to accomplish. For building muscle you want to low numbers of reps and high weights. For endurance you want to do the opposite. I have a book at home on Weight Lifting that I really like. I will look up the name for you. What I like about it is that it breaks down each body area and give you a bunch of exercises to do for each area using free weights, dumbells and machines. It has great pictures and at the end of the chapter it shows pictures of various body building "celebrities" and tells you what exercises and reps they do to get their look. It has a variety of celebs and includes men and woman. It really is quite helpful as a resource. If you are interested I can get the name for you. I bought it Barnes and Noble for around $20 if I remember correctly.
