		 Personally, i've noticed that when I do bench presses with dumb bells, they are much more effective at working my chest than those with the bar.  When I raise the weights up, I can really feel it in my chest with dumb bells, not so much with bar. 
 
Yeah, form is important.  Oh, I forgot to mention.  You mentioned moving from machines to free weights.  Whatever you did on the machine, keep in mind you will do A LOT less with free weights for the first few times.  This is because your muscles aren't used to having to stabilize the weight.
