Default Routine Critique - Thnks in Advance!

Well, I have officially forgone my gym membership. Having recently started a family, taking the time to hit up the gym everyday just isn't feasible. So, I have decided to use resources available at my home to 'get the job done'.

My main goal is fat loss. I am well aware that this is done 'in the kitchen'. So, my diet, which is primarily a CKD, is in check. My questions/concerns come from the training aspect given my limitations.

At my disposal I have...

olympic BB
olympic DB handles
olympic EZ curl bar
300+# plates
15, 25, and 35# hex DBs
resistance bands w/ handles

I also have an alley that is ~40yds long that I will be using to perform HIIT sprints.

Given the above, I have come up with the following workout plan:

MONDAY (at home)
BB front squat
BB SLDL
BB OH press

TUESDAY (at home)
HIIT Sprints
Core work w/ bands

WEDNESDAY (at local park)
DB jump squat
Pullup
Pushup

THURSDAY (at home)
HIIT Sprints
Core work w/ bands

FRIDAY (at home)
BB lunge
BB deadlift high pull
BB row

SATURDAY and SUNDAY OFF

On lifting days, the lifts will be performed in a circuit 'CrossFit style' for a either a.) a set number of rounds in the shortest time, or b.) the most rounds for a set time. I will keep track week to week and try to beat my 'scores' each week.

I don't have a bench or a squat rack. So, most likely, the front squats will be done using higher reps (the most weight I can muscle up to my shoulders). And the pushups will be done 'ballistically'. I can't think of any other options to work chest than pushups.

So, there you have it. Please help a brother out if possible!

All I can say for pushups is to add weight to your back, and for pullups, I'd invest in something to strap weight around your waist. With the taper you appear to possess it'd be sad to see that deteriorate.

1-arm pushups should bode you well also

Well... a little update on my current training routine. I ended up buying a bench and squat rack... so squats and chest/shoulder presses are good to go.

I've got a friend working out with me now, as well. He's ~6'4", 250. He's a solid guy... but it's been a long time since he trained w/ weights.

This is what I have us doing for this period...

MONDAY
BB deadlift
BB overhead press
BB close-grip bench press

TUESDAY
Sprints
Abs

WEDNESDAY
BB bench press
BB bent row
BB upright row

THURSDAY
Jogging
Abs

FRIDAY
BB squat
BB incline press
Pullups

We are doing 4 sets ea. right now. I plan on upping that to 5 sets next week.

Thoughts? I thought it hit the heavy basics pretty well. This is the routine I'll be logging MMv2 with.
