It's a great start. Just add good healty whole foods. What free weights do you have? Barbell? dumbells? Do you have a bench as well? A pullup bar would be a great (and cheap) addition, would allow work on lats and back.

i have barbells as of now, and for the bench press seat do you think one that has an adjustable back is better?

adjustable back bench is usually called FID (flat-incline-decline).
