I would suggest a 3 day split for push/pull/squat, but you can very easily have a good 2 day split as well. Try doing something like this:
Day One:
Deadlifts: 5x5
Cleans: 3x5
Front squats: 3x5
Pull ups: 3x5
Day Two:
Back Squats: 5x5
Bench Press: 5x5
OH Press: 3x5
Dips: 3x8
If that is even too much volume, something like this would well very well also:
Day One:
Deadlifts 5x5, 2x3
Rows 5x5
Day Two:
Squats: 5x5, 2x3
Push Press: 5x5
Also, if you have a pull up bar and dip bar at your gym, just do those whenever you get the chance. They are excellent BW exercises they build strength, endurance, and explosiveness even.
