One of the J hooks on my squat rack broke and now I have to wait two weeks for the new one to come in, therefore wont be able to use the one j hook only the safety bars. (Also have no access to another gym) I just finished the bridge luckily when it broke and could finish my workout.  
What is an option for workouts without a squat rack or use of only safety bars?

If you can clean the weight to the front rack position you can:

Front squat  
Push Press  
Press

If you can load the bar at the appropriate height to squat/press from the safety pins, you can:

Squat  
Press

If you can load the bar at the appropriate height to bench from, you can:

Bench

You can also likely floor press with the bar on the safety pins.

Also, you can:  
Deadlift  
RDL  
SLDL  
Pendlay Row  
Lever Row

etc.

How remote are you currently?

I would be starting all the lifts from a dead stop, since the safety bars span the entire way. I am about 6 hours from a gym one way.
