power cleans + front squats, presses, floor presses, deadlifts, rows, chinups (buy the doorway one for now)
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?

and curls. Don't pretend you are too good for them.
and the Zercher leg 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.
