Unfortuately, using bodyweight exercises primarily will not properly overload a muscle for growth. More muscle endurance as you cannot increase the load except with more 'reps; such as more pushups. Try to get a gym membership, they are cheap these days.

Push ups, Dips on a chair or bench, Pull ups, Upside down push ups (get a freind to steady you against a wall, and push your feet to the ceiling)

Can always do squats with just your body weight, or pick up some heavy objects around the house.

try and work your strength up with these until you get the gym Membership
