I really want bigger pecks, but I'm a student so I can't afford to go to the gym or buy some weights.
I already do push ups, tricep thrusts and light weights to work my upper body, so my pecks are quite toned, they're just really small.
I do quite a lot of exercise and have a good diet, so I think it must be my work out plan.
I've read that bench presses are the best to build the pecks, but are there any other exercise I could do at home?

try variations of pushups , example : wide arm push ups , ect. You should be easily able to find a position that stresses your chest and especially your triceps.

warning : you seem to be really focused on your chest , but if you work your chest too much (i doubt your in much danger of it at the moment) , without working your back out , you shoulders will hunch fowards.

Ain't going to happen, I spent 10 years on just push-up and never got bigger.

TO get bigger you need to eat, lift heavy and let the hormones to place while you rest!
