There are countless programmes. I researched a lot of them before going with SL. It’s simple and easy to follow on the app. It encourages good form and is very basic. It is not easy when the weights get heavy.
Mark Rippetoe is a lifting guru and knows everything you need to know - his programme is Starting Strength. It’s quite similar to SL.
You can do body weight exercises - I did this before buying weights and used Mark Lauren - which was probably the impetus to buying weights.
I use Mike Matthew’s info for basically everything to do with diet and additional lifting advice as he is easy to understand. His book is Bigger, Stronger, Leaner but I get info from his website.
One thing you should decide BEFORE YOU START is your goal - more strength, more fitness, beach body, more agility etc. The answer to this should guide you to the right programme.
Stronglifts. And read Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Alan Thall seems to have a lot of support here too - YouTube for him.
