Keep in mind this far from optimal and you’ll be making yourself a huge favor if you just bought a normal barbell , a bench and a rack and just did something like starting strength with some accessories

I would do weighted pushups ,and weighted pull-ups (a pull up bar shouldn’t be that expensive and it’s definitely worth it ). Also focus on your ohp and you’re golden , you don’t need all that isolation shit especially if you’re a novice . Focus on progressively overloading those big movements linear progression style , 3 sets of 4-6 and add weight when you can complete 3 sets of 6. Basic stuff , here’s an example

Workout A : ohp / pull-ups both 3 sets of 4-6 reps Triceps extensions / barbell curls both 3 sets of 10 , (careful with the extensions though drop them if they bother your elbows . Close grip bench /dips would have been better) Stiff legged deadlifts 3or 2 x12/ lunges 5x10 Workout B : weighted pushups , heavy barbell rows 3 sets 4-6 . Side laterals and rear felt flies for 5 sets whatever reps , just use good form and go to failure . And same Lower body lifts

Do it full body 3 times a week style (alternate workouts a and b ) That’s what I would personally do if I were you , not gonna lie though you won’t Maximize your lower body gains without squats , no other way around it for a natty .

I'm not gonna comment on your routine because I'm not that competent about it, but I can assure you about one thing: it's better than nothing. I started working out at home too and it gave me a proper boost for the first day I went to gym.

You can become a beast without a gym membership, it's just harder. The only thing that would be lacking is your legs. Nothing beats squats and deadlifts for lower body. There are a lot of people who train calisthenics for upper body and only gym for lower body.

Take a look at Meckanimal, Dominik Sky, Dan Jeong, etc. No one would ever call them "small". There are a bunch more but I only included the guys that I, personally, think are natty. They are monsters and have way more functional strength than 99% "gym bros".

If you can't get a gym membership, you should go to bodyweightfitness sub and follow one of their programs. They have progression systems, form vids, etc.
