Ok so these are my results after following this workout for two months.

Workout A
Incline Bench 4-8 reps 3 sets (got up to 160 pounds from 130)
Standing shoulder press 6-10 reps 3 sets (went from 90 to 110)
Weighted dips 5-8 reps 2 sets (went from 45 to 80)
Behind neck pull-ups 10 reps 4 sets (started at 6 reps for four sets)
Leg raises 16 for 3 sets (started at 10)
Ab wheel rollouts to failure

Workout B
Weighted squats 5 reps 3 sets (went from 145 to 190)
Weighted pull-ups 4-8 reps 3 sets (went from 45 to 75 then got stuck and couldn't progress)
Bicep curls with dumbbell 6 reps 3 sets (went from 35's to 50's)
calf raises to failure (weighted with
chin-ups 10 reps 4 sets
Leg raises to failure

I alternated those two workouts with a day in between workouts. I ate at a slight deficit, and gained 5 pounds.
It's been two weeks since then, and I spent a week not watching what I ate, but you can still see some of the results.

I don't have any weights where I am staying right now, but I do have a pull-up bar. I am going to try to work up to one handed pull-ups, and work on one-handed pushups (I can do about 3 each side), as well as pistol squats and handstand pushups. Is there a more effective bodyweight workout? Thoughts?

Good to see the results are coming man!

You could always try dips as another bodyweight exercise or some front/side planks, glute bridges, to work on the core. Also, you can mix it up and try doing some pyramid sets for pushups or do weighted pushups(if you can find something to put on your back). Something to consider for next time is to get one of those resistance bands. There very cheap and you can do so many great bodyweight exercises with just a piece of tubing.

Keep it up!

Unfortunately I've pretty much only been able to maintain weight and strength honestly. Am starting college in a few days and I'm really really looking forward to watching my lifts go up again.
