If your goals include gaining muscle, then it's important to keep in mind that training with free weights is only part of the muscle building equation. In order to gain muscle not only will you need to train with weights in an efficient manner, but you will also need to pay attention to what you eat, and how much rest and recovery time you are allowing your body in between workouts.

After that's out of the way...simply follow along with the muscle gain weight lifting instructions provided for each exercise. Good luck and have a great workout!
