That body weight program will be your best option beginning; however, I’d recommend you to research as much as possible on deadlifting and the entire posterior chain (muscles people see as you are leaving). This is an assumption, but I’d venture to say you have some dysfunctions in your posture.
I’m not insulting you, because each one of us has dysfunctional lifestyles; however, you will achieve your best results once you correct your posture, which begins with stretching the anterior chain muscles( front) and strengthen the posterior chain. Your back is responsible for 2/3 of your upper body and you’ll never meet a strong man who doesn’t have large back supporting him.
Deadlift variations, row variations, squat variations.

Be careful throwing out general recommendations like that to people who you haven’t assessed or even seen a picture of. “Stretching the front and strengthening the back” is a fine general recommendation for people with certain postural dysfunctions, but for others it can make matters worse or just be a waste of time. What if he has a posterior pelvic tilt? What if he is stuck in scapular depression on one or both sides? In both cases your recommendation would likely make things worse. Or – and I think this is the most likely scenario – what if he’s a 17 year old kid without any gross postural issues who will do just fine with an intelligently put-together strength program?
