Wrong! During an unfortunate stretch of incarceration I did 10 sets of pushups to failure everyday for a little over 2 months. I went from weighing 145 lbs to 176 lbs. my chest became much fuller. My arms gained about 2 inches. all in my triceps of course. When I finally beat my case and got out of county jail, everyone who seen me would ask if I some how got ahold of steroids in there. I see guys train this way in jail all the time and get the same results. But every set must be to failure and you have workout everyday save taking a day off about every 7 days. Dont believe me? Do it yourself and see what happens!

I just can-t seem to unalign my maximum with the even number 20 at this point, it feels like I adjust my cadence to force that number to be my peak. Like if I feel like I can do more as I-m approaching 20, I will slow my reps down to ensure I reach failure on it. I would have thought this to be a bad thing a while ago but it sounds like your implying this would be forcing a healthy mixture of a decent number of repetitions and quality, at least for where I-m at right now.
Previously without quality form and cadence I would hit 40-45 so 20 right now isn-t too little for me to benefit from.

i can do 40 push ups, but i try to get that number down to about 6-10 with weighted vest, and i was talking to a co worker about how if i do more than 10 that i feel like im not working hard for it. another co worker repeats what i said and holds a cheeky grin says nothing else. its crazy how people just want that high number and think backwards.

I was watching a video by Jeremy Ethier, talking about how a significant portion of your strength gains comes from training your nervous system during months one and two. I would be interested in knowing how much of the drop in performance is attributed to that. No disrespect intended. I'm going to try what you suggest. Appreciate the video.

What you guys are missing is that extra inch is engaging more muscle fibers and putting more stress on the ones that are already engaged then cutting out that inch for more reps. If you don't understand, do some research on the body's muscle function and movement. Jeff knows what he's talking about.

Push ups can be an effective mass builder if you add weights to them. have a buddy put a couple of 45s on your back. now we're talking. if you have shoulder issues, those and floor presses are safer and great substitutes for a conventional bench press.
