The exercises you need to learn are:
Squats - Back squats, front squats, overhead squats.
Beadlifts - Conventional, Romanian aka Stiff legged straight back, and Goodmornings
Presses - Bench Press, Military overhead press, Incline press, Dips
Pulls - Bent Row, Pull up, Chin up, Power Cleans

You said that recommending NROL is not helpful, then you proceeded to recommend everything that NROL is based on. That's a little confusing.
I second the NROL suggestion. I think it's a wonderful idea, and sound advice. It contains a good bit of information on lifting exercises, HIITvsCardio, and some nutritional info too. It's a nice compact version of what you need to get started. It will answer most of your basic questions.
