a lot of people have different ways of building their pushups, but i have a way to increase the number of pushups, and your strength within a month. in one month I went from doing 65 pushups to doing 90 with a fresh body (meaning no other exercises before). the way I did this was increase my back strength, and use different part of my body during normal pushups.
in order to do this I have to do about 10 different kinds of pushups...offset, diamond wide angle, finger, pharos, incline, decline, decline offset, one armed, and more. After doing these different kinds of pushups, and putting tension on one particular area each time...the muscles developed very very fast. so when I do normal pushups...I use my shoulders initially to do about 40...once that gets tired I switch my muscle group to my chest, after about 20 of those I then go to my arm muscles for another 20, and after I have exhausted all three, I use all three together for the final. This is all done internally meaning you can't see me switch the muscle group I’m using, and the transition is fluid and flawless. doing different kinds of pushups developed my upper-body tremendously...most people just do normal pushups to try to develope...well it's good, but not going to help you increase that number much.
