Not all of those areas can be worked with bodyweight exercises alone. For those that can, however, the best exercises are as follows:
Chest - dips
Triceps - dips
Back (upper) - chins/pullups
Biceps - close-grip chins
Hams - glute-ham raises
no pushups?
why not calf raises off of stairs? give those a try if u plz
what do you mean? how can I do those?
Forearms – ?
Shoulders - Handstand Push-Ups
Back - Pullups of any variety
Biceps – Close Grip Chins
Triceps – Narrow Grip Pushups (Triangles)
Chest - Pushups
Hams & Quads - Bodyweight squats
Calves – Calf raises on stairs
Lower back - Supermans
You should be able to look through the exercise section to find any of these.

yep, that's a good guide.
though triceps bw exercise should be diamond pushups :) not triangle hehe.
Hehe. Nice btw guys whats teh dif between chinups and pullups and do you know of a good way to build something that will hold my weight so i can do pullups and stuff on?
You could just go to play it again sports or sports authority or any such place and buy a chin up bar. They go between any doorframe in your house and are very sturdy. Not too expensive either. Probably cheaper than anything you could build
chest - pushups (need to add weight, not very practical), so I guess I'll have to go with dips
back - pullup/chinup
triceps - pushups (again the best but not very practical), so dips
biceps - chinup/CG pullup
shoulder - handstand pushups.
calves - one leg calf raise
quads - squat/pistol squat
forearm - fingertip pushups

they are exercises which you pull yourself up, then lower yourself down. Chinups are with your palms facing you, pullups are when your palms facing the other way
oooh i do chinups much easier then :-P I know what they are I just didnt know the difference thanks though dude :)
oh hey, u want to work ur forearms rite? do pull ups, it will work your foremans too along with biceps and the back
[QUOTE=Spazonias]what do you mean? how can I do those?[/QUOTE]
goto a set of stairs
position your feet on the edge and hold onto a banister or whatever with one arm and just do them like ur using a weighted machine :)
chin ups/ pull ups work the forearms and grip real well, especially with a thicker bar or using bath towels draped over the bar.
