Push ups and pull ups both are my favorite exercises. These exercises help to build the chest and also give the strength to the muscles. This exercise are also useful for the triceps and biceps.

I also can't see making much progress with only 2 days a week. Also...certain exercises like squats /deadlifts/powercleans...which are compound movements are to themselves a full body work out. But many people will have a different view on what is best...I can only comment on what has worked best for me.

except that i do bench press with dumbells and i replaced the over head press with weighted dips. I also might do some front squats after deadlifts on day 2 and some lunges after the squats on day 1

How many hill sprints and what kind of distance you think i should aim for?
Also when you say roadwork would a 15 to 20 minute jog be fine?
