This will help you get better at chins and pull ups.

Is there any substitute to the exercises that require squat racks and barbells? I don't have access to those. What can I get?

EDIT: I also have a question about strength training. From reading the naked warrior I had read that you shouldn't go until failure. Many other sources agree with that. However there programs like this: BodyWeightCulture.com - Free Body Weight Exercises for muscle gain, weight loss and more that want you to do "maximum" sets. However in "The Naked Warrior" it is indicated that it is more efficient to do just enough that you could do some more reps, but do vast numbers of sets and used and example of an ex-marine, I think, who would do 5 sets of chin ups whenever he got the chance throughout the day usually totaling 100 chinups (I don't have the book in hand so I'm not using the exact numbers) a day, and this is how he got to up his number of chinups incredibly quickly and without ever fatiguing when training for it. So wouldn't the best way to get to 100 pushups would be, say you can do 20 pushups max, then do 16, but lots of times per day, and test you max (which should've gone up drastically) and repeat until you get 100 max?
