press ups with your feet on your bed with aweight on your back in a bag or something is a great exercise.
handstand against the wall and to push ups.excellent for your shoulders!

you can do Triceps too
lift it above your head and lower it downbehind your head, keep your elbows tight in and facing forward and push the wight back up using your triceps
Or do skull crushers which are essentally the same but lieing down

Can use the curling bar for triceps too mate.
If you had a tall bench you could use the straight bar and do your back too.
