Absolutely. There are a lot of push up variations that can work your chest from many angles. You will be limited at some point, but there are a lot of people who do nothing but bodyweight exercises and look great. The gym is awesome, but not absolutely necessary if access is limited.

Line up two benches in front of dumbbell rack. Place both feet on rack and get in pushup position on benches
Then do pushups.
Then do pushups.

My thoughts. Hypertrophy occurs when a muscle is worked to failure, or near failure, and then given time to recover. Studies show light weights work as well as heavy. The point is, the muscle doesn’t know what’s making it work.

but it was basically an every hour type of program where you start off at I think it was 10 push-ups and basically every hour that you’re awake, you knockout a set of 10 push-ups. You do those every single day M-F and then the next week you add 5 more reps per set.
I'm doing this but doing 50 per hour. I'm definitely feeling it.
