    Default Possible full body workout with just a barbell and weights

    My job requires me to get up pretty early in the morning, and by the time I get back, I'm usually almost too tired to peel my ass out of bed long enough to eat dinner. I know for sure that I'm too tired to go to the gym at the end of the day. But I know I can probably make time to lift early in the morning if I go straight to bed after I get back at around 6.

    I can't afford a flat bench and a squat rack yet. But by next paycheck I should be able to get a barbell and my own weights. Would I be able to get a pretty good workout with just a barbell?

    Could I replace the 3x a week squats with deadlifts, or is that too much? And what could I do to work my pecs without a bench press?

    Squat stands are super cheap.

    (Barbell & Weights + no rack) is still better then (no barbell + no rack).

    Clean it, front squat it, deadlift it, Press it, Floor press - RDL if you're worried about your hamstrings. Make sure you know what you're doing before trying these things.

    ETA: Dips & Chins - do them.

    Don't need to do anything for my biceps. Hell, I don't even want to do chinups because my biceps are sore as fuck from carrying buckets back and forth.
