I suggest you use your bar to deadlift, and consider getting a power rack in which you can squat. These two exercises are excellent. A very good beginner's program is found in Pavel Tsatsouline's "Power To The People!" - http://www.kbnj.com/ptp.htm - in which you deadlift and side press for 2 sets of 5 reps on each exercise, using long rest periods, and do this 5 days a week. It's a solid approach to acquiring skill at the beginning of your lifting career, and the book gives good guidance on how to cycle your weights so that you continue to make progress, don't get stale, and avoid overtraining and injury. All it requires is a bar and weights, and a rubber mat to lift on.

With a pair of 4x4's and some hardware you can make yourself a simple rack and with some adjustable sawhorses you can have spotter bars. They'll take you a very long way.

I always suggest taking a look at Dan John's free ebook. It's a good read, it's highly motivational, and it has workout routines that require very little equipment. The price is right too 🙂.
