Barbell, Dumbell and a bench

Is there any possiblility i can get a good workout with just using a Barbell, Dumbell and a bench? I don't want any fancy machines, jump ropes etc. i just want the basics of a barbell, dumbells and an old fashioned bench!
 
You'd probably get a better workout with a solid bodyweight routine than with a half-assed weight training regimen. And by probably I mean definitely, depending on your current condition, and your inventiveness/ability to read. You can do a whole lot with just yourself and random stationary objects. Check it out.

I'm sure Chillen will be along to post the links. :D

Having said that, yeah, it's probably doable. Assuming you have enough weight, and don't mind doing deadlifts. Or if you can clean a weight you can squat. Which is unlikely. I don't recommend doing dumbbell squats. They're so awkward and they piss me off. I've been laughing at them since I got under the bar.

Anyway check out the weight training stickies and see if you can't put together a decent plan.

Also, might be a good idea to share some information about your goals! I mean what exactly is a "good workout"? That's completely relative. In this case, to you. Please be very specific when describing what you're trying to achieve.
