I want to start training soon. I'm 5'9" 133LBS with 11% of body fat.
I don't want to be very big. I want to have muscular definition, get a 6pack and look like a swimmer or a model. When I was training I wasent a fan of free weight. Do I have any chances to build something with machines?

Sure, you can gain some muscle with machines- Most people prefer free weights because more muscle gets involved during the exercises. Getting huge pretty much demands the use of free weights, but since that's not your goal, you'll do fine- First thing you should do is get your diet on track so you can add a little muscle.

Follow the link at the end to the calorie calculators, and use the info in there to find out how much you need to eat to reach your goal.
