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.

Do you have to work out with weights to gain muscle?
It is not exactly necessary, but if your goal is to build muscle, weight training is the best and "quickest" way to do so. On the other hand, you can build muscle with just calisthenics. Instead of banging out those pushups as fast as you can to get the most reps, lower the repetition count with slow, controlled movements, which really does build muscle. When even those become easy, try different variations, such as archer pushups, one-handed pushups, and so on. Same with pullups. For legs, though, hill sprints work legs quite fine, but adding weight seems almost necessary to build serious muscle. Other factors are involved as well. Sleeping well and having a sufficient calorie intake are both important aspects. The right supplementation can help as well. You might want to check the link in my bio to learn more.
