What are some good non traditional workouts that you can use to either bulk up or just get in better shape? Right now I do lots of pushups for the chest. I do situps, and jumping jacks. Is there anyway to exercise biceps and arms? I was thinking of putting a bunch of books into a backpack and lifting it, is that sufficient?

You can do Bench Dips for your Triceps. Substitute a bench with a stable chair.

Weight is weight. As long as you can get it set up right and safely it'll work. You just need progressive resistance to build muscle.

I've been using push-up bars like these for a few years now, and I can't go back to doing push-ups the regular way. They really allow you to dip down low and get a full range of motion; it feels similar to letting the bar come down to your chest in a bench press. I think they help turn push-ups into more of a total upper-body exercise. It definitely works the triceps, and if you lower yourself slowly and deliberately, will work the biceps too.
