Killer Push-Ups for Chest?

[ChiliPeppers]

Hey all, I've been working out tree times a week for almost two months now, but I still need some help with building muscle on my chest. I'm a college student so I've never been able to afford any equipment or go to the gym. Because of this, I've been doing some simple exercises such as sit-ups, dips, pull-ups, and various types of push-ups. The extreme sides of my pecs are fairly toned but the middle area isn't as much (sorry I don't know the terms too well). Are there any type of push-up exercises that can improve this? Oh and I have another question, I'm also a guitarist and I don't want do ruin my wrists since gigging with my band is my only source of income at the moment, would doing push-ups on my knuckles help prevent wrist injury?

Thanks, and please excuse my ignorance.

get push up stands for 10 bucks. Adjust your grip, try a mixture of wide grips and narrow grips and squeeze the interior of your pecs all the way through the push up AND thru the negative.

Maybe that helps?

Knuckles are good. I messed up my wrist a while back and did all my push ups on my knuckles for a while. All good now and I do a mixture.

or get a couple DB's the kind with the hexagon shaped weight and use those to put your hands on while you do your push ups. You can get a couple for pretty cheap.
