Subject: RE: Upper-body workouts... Check out simplefit.org and crossfit.com for some ideas for exercises.
I've been in the Army for 15 years. We spend a ridiculous amount of time doing body weight exercises. I don't think they're as effective as using some equipment, but they're helpful. Google this:
fm 21-20
That's the Army's fitness training manual. There's a good explanation of body weight programs. You can learn a ton about different types of push-ups.
I saw some guys in a nearby formation using sandbags. Sandbags are an incredibly inexpensive way to use weights. You can do some great functional exercises with them. I would also recommend finding a pull-up bar. For $20 you can have an austere gym.
Talking about austere gyms, download this vid.
