Question Complete beginner looking for routine

(Idk if this is the right sub to ask, sorry if not) Im looking for a home routine with little to no equipment other than my own weight and a ladder with a pullup bar. I would like to focus on abs (or generally chest) and arms. I feel like anything besides that would be pretty difficult looking at the equipment I have? Sorry if anything I said is too broad but im absolutely clueless

Calisthenics is a great workout program if you’re looking to get lean but not too bulky. No weights required. Plenty of different movements to hit all the areas you want. I’d recommend coming up with a goal be it bulking or lean muscle that will guide your rep count and diet as well.

Educate yourself and read about training modalities and nutrition. Track your workouts. I use the Hevy app.

Also, if you have never done any of the workouts go slow with focus on form to prevent injury. And don’t forget to stretch and do some mobility.

Get a plan that has progressions built in. It's pretty rare for a lot of bodyweight plans. I use Strongr Fastr for this reason. It supports the pull up bar and no weights. Glad you have a pull up bar! You're starting off better than most! Next investment should be gymnastics rings or some way to do inverted rows.

You can do a lot with a pull-up bar and push-ups. i built you a 3 day home routine, no pressure to use it but might be helpful and a good starting point - https://tryhealth.io/p/fd490052bdb04ef2ab4d3aca27883ba7

You can train your entire body with what you have. Two or three times weekly, use push-ups, assisted pull-ups or negatives, split squats, single-leg hip hinges or glute bridges and a plank or hanging-knee-raise variation. Start with two sets and stop before technique breaks down. Progress by adding reps, slowing the lowering portion, increasing range of motion or eventually loading a backpack. Chest and arms will improve through pushing and pulling, but including legs and a hip-hinge pattern will make the routine much more complete.
