The "landmine" or incline dumbbell attachment is a hidden gem in many gyms. Look for a small piece of tubing on a hinge somewhere near the floor (this is often at the base of a squat rack). Insert a bar into the pipe and you can now lift the free end of the bar while the other end pivots into the attachment.

If you don't have a specialized landmine attachment, you can always wedge the bar into a corner - the inside corner of the squat rack, the corner of a well-protected wall, or even the corner of certain types of benches. (A notable DIY trick is to open up a tennis ball and use it to cushion the end of the bar.) Here are some exercises you can do with this setup.
