If I do 3 sets of pullups, pushups/dips, rows, crunches/planks, and squats, one after another is that enough, along with good diet, to keep me in generally good health including cardio? Will I quickly reach a plateau and need to change into a more traditional bodyweight program?
Great answer! My only quibble is with this:
While I think this is possible, it’s extremely unlikely to apply to people asking questions like this. Most of the time the context for this question is more or less “What is the least I can do to feel accomplished?”
I’m recently started a new job and I have significantly less time that I used to. My old routine with long rest periods is no longer practical. I’m simply looking to save time.
Got it. Since this is really a matter of saving time, your best option there will be to focus on compound lifts like squat bench, deadlift, ohp, and pull-ups to work the most muscle groups at once. Incorporate thoughtful programming with progressive overload to continue making progress and push yourself.
