Can anyone give me help:

I'm 18, just starting to lift. I want to go for strength and size. I'm going to start off doing horizontal bench press, then move to other parts of the body once I get into a rhythm.

So, I just did 90 lbs for 8 reps on my dumbells (I'm a swimmer, not a football player). That was the max I could do at that weight, and I don't have any more weight. I weigh 160 lbs. I'm not interested in taking any supplements, protein shakes, etc. Just normal food.

How should I start with my lifting? How should I progress? How many sets per session per week? Should I switch intensity and toning?

Any help would be great, thanks! If I get help in this aspect, I'll come back once I'm ready to start moving on to other muscles.
