You'll gain a bit, but most of it will be seen as tone and not muscle mass. It's because these exercises don't stimulate the muscle fibers dealing with strength and power (Type 2a/b), which are the fibers that really grow.
If you can get access to a gym, that would be best. Not to say you shouldn't do the exercises if you can't, they're still good for you, but you can't expect to grow much from them, just attain better overall fitness and some muscle tone.

not alot those type of exercises are more for building definition and toning. I don't know how big/small you are or what your goal is but if you're wanting to bulk up then you need to consume massive quantities of high calorie, high protein foods and carbohydrates for energy. Along with a serious workout routine to build muscle which will add weight to your body also. And yes to bench pressing. go to muscleandfitness.com for some articles and ideas.

If you lift and do pushups, you will gain some mass. If you eat a lot, especially carbs, you will have more energy to burn and more possible weight to gain.
