For those who train at home, this combination of exercises is probably the best to base upper body strength on. They are handstand push-ups, chest-to-bar chin-ups and dips. The difficulty of them should keep most people going for a while, especially if you add a weighted backpack when doing the chin-ups and dips.

This is an all-bodyweight workout. Probably you'd do 2-4 sets of each exercise.

Another training session. These excerpts show some of the techniques we are practising.

A workout showing my current technique and rep counts.

Here I mostly experiment with ladder-type partial reps. This is intended to make the exercise harder and more fully work the muscle without increasing the weight.

Here is the short workout I did today showing the actual number of reps. It should take about 10 minutes including rest time and you might want to go through it 2 or 3 times. Which just goes to show that with just 20-30 minutes of simple exercise every day or two, it is possible to add a reasonable amount of muscle.

Here are regular length sets of my three current favorite exercises. You could maybe do some multiples of this as a workout and then do exercises for shoulders, hamstrings and a different back variation the next day.
