To hit your chest, you would need parallel bars.

You may want to consider filling a backpack with books or something heavy and doing push ups...just be careful not to get squished.

EDIT: You should check out the book Dinosaur Bodyweight Training by Brooks Kubik

One-bedroom apartments... I think that's why God invented gyms.

i have a one bedroom also, with not much money for a gym. I just hit the jailhouse routine....

push-ups, dips, pull-ups and sit-ups. I also bought a exercise ball to help with some workouts. This routine works great if i can't make it to the college gym.
