Sure. Make sure your arms are wider than shoulder-width to properly target your pecs/chest. I do these AFTER my normal chest routine (flyes, presses, dips).

push ups are awsome I`m doing them in my current chest workout along with flies

I got bored of benchpressing so decided to give it a try, and I~m happy I did I got some pretty noticable difference

make sure do weighted push ups (weights on your back)
