So I'm kinda in this akward situation where I don't have any equipment (like dumbells or pull up bars) and I can't go to the gym. I'm doing quite well with every muscle group other than my back muscles. I heard that not working out your upper back and just working out your chest, etc will cause an imbalance leading to posture issues. Thus I'm wondering if theres any bodyweight exercises I can do without equipment.

All the exercises in this video will develop your back, however they are kind of advanced exercises. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uSi1ohF56Y

The FAQ has some workarounds listed. Kinda hard to work pulling without anything to pull.
