Compound - like body weight exercises

I have really been focusing on compound lifts and I have seen the most improvement with this strategy but I am not going to have access to equipment for the next couple of months. Are there body weight programs or exercises someone can suggest that would be similar to compound lifts with weights? The simpler the better. I really prefer to have like a 2 day routine that I alternate between. Does that make sense? Help is appreciated.

Push ups, pull ups, dips, pistol squats, lunges, squat jumps, split jumps, handstand pushups, plank, drangonflies.
Nothing will replicate the big major weighted lifts exactly, but creating a well rounded body weight routine can help keep you growing and getting stronger, in a different way3 -
If you get a TRX, I've had some great workouts using body weight. You could do the old school Charles Atlas workout.
