Pretty much every workout involving a progressive overload and relatively heavy weights will add on mass. CONDITIONAL on your nutrition and diet. If you're not eating big to get big, your body isn't going to make all the macronutrients and calories from no where...
You need to get your nutrition nailed down before you try to start gaining muscle mass otherwise you're going no where.- 0.6-0.8g of protein per lb of body mass
- 0.4-0.45g of fat per lb of body mass
- fill rest of calories with carbs
- TDEE + 250/500/750/1000 calories
Get on a solid program such as;- New Rules of Lifting For Women
- Strong Curves
- ICF 5x5
- StrongLifts 5x5
- PHUL
OP do you have access to a power rack or squat rack? These programs all involve legs, which is an area you shouldn't neglect when trying to add on mass.0 -
Hey I do not have access to a power rack only 0-100 pounds in dumbells and a bench and cable machine that you can do bench press curls latpulldowns you get the idea soo that's why I was looking for a solid routine that involves that equipment thanks0

You're not going to be able to do squats then...
Either get a gym membership, adapt, or get a power rack.0 -
If your goals are to gain lean muscle mass, I recommend a workout routine based on compound lifts (squats, bench, deadlift, over-head press) and do 4 sets of 8-12 reps.
A 5x5 routine will get you trained and strong , but you won't gain much muscle mass.

They could do squats... but it would have to be a higher rep than a 5x5 format. In fact, there are a lot of routines out there that are just done with free weights.
