Need help regarding home-DB chest workout [16 y/o]

hi people. well, let's see. my problem is that the only thing i have access to are some free weights (dumbbells) and these dumbbells go up to 8kg at most but that's okay for now since i'm still relatively new to this. Anyway, I don't even have a proper bench so I improvise my using a couple of round-chairs to serve as the bench. Evidently, there's no way for me to get an incline for doing my chest workout so that's problem number one. Incline chest exercises are evidently important but how do I achieve the incline? Any suggestions? Problem number two is that after the DB "Bench Presses" and "Pec Flyes" that I do (3 sets of about 8 each), I usually feel more strain on my arms rather than my chest. And this is incredibly annoying because I want my chest to grow. So thats problem number two. Problem number three is that I can't find a way to do dips because I obviously don't have the conventional-gym dips bar and the parallel beams in the park near my house are WAY too thick and I can't seem to do them. So basically, I also need suggestions for this. Currently, my chest is at about 32 inches, measured in circumference (measuring tape from one pec and then going one round through my back to get to the same pec) and I'm not hoping for drastic changes but I definitely want it to look bigger. Thanks alot. -Daniel (:

1- Do incline push ups, place your feet in a chair and don't arch your back 2- Concentration is key, it's also normal to feel tension in your arms while doing chest, specially if you are new to training 3- Why would the bar being thick be a problem? anyways, chairs or tables are good alternatives

well with dumbbells going up to 8 kg there isn't much you can do except flyes since they are a low weight exercise. I know this might be out of the question but you really should try to get a home gym or gym membership, you could probably get everything you need for $200-$300. Yay my chest is bigger than a 16 year old! sorry didn't mean to sound like a jerk it's just exiting (:
