An example of a weekly routine

Monday-
Lunges 3x10
Various core

Tuesday-
Dumbbell curls 3x10
Barbell curls 5x5
Dumbbell row 5x5

Wednesday-
Military press 5x5
Front/lateral raise 3x10
Various core

Thursday-
Bench dips 3x10
Tricep extensions 5x5

Friday-
Bench press 5x5
Dumbbell press 5x5
Various core

I work out at home and currently its nearly impossible to do squats but i really wish I could, and that's not an exact layout just general reference, I change it up a lot. But just wondering if that's too little, and any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
I think add more legs and combine bis and tris to one day. One exercise for bis and tris a week is good enough in relation to only have 2 exercises for the big muscle groups. Also, dumbbell rows are not good enough for your total back workout. Maybe go like this:

Monday:
Legs

Tuesday:
Arms

Wednesday:
Shoulders

Thursday:
Back

Friday:
Chest

No need for core exercises if you are hurting for time. Hitting these exercises hard it an ab workout in itself.
