What are some push-up variations for serious chest growth?

You need to try this for yourself. Focus on where you feel the best muscle activation. I found that with close-grip pushups, I was more targeting the triceps. I feel that wide pushups are better for chest development. Mind-muscle connection and slow, controlled reps are vital.

What is the best replacement for pull ups when your are working out?

i would personally do pushups, or handstand pushups. Handstand pushups are where you go on your hands, lean you back against a wall and bend your arms at least 90 degrees. It takes time to be able to build up the strength in your arms to do handstand pushups correctly so it you are a beginner, then stick with pushups for now.
