Pushups use larger muscles so they take longer to heal. I would give at least a day between sets for your body to recover.

I used to struggle to do five pushups. I used a 'navy seal' preperation program. In essence, the idea is to do the excercise three times a week. Do a search for the program. In twelve weeks, you can be doing six sets of thirty five without too much difficulty.

I used the Navy SEAL program when I started it was 3 sets of 15. I varied off from the program and after 4 months i was doing 6 sets of 50. The program is extremely effective.

 

I started after failed attempts at returning to the gym - I was barely benching 205 when I started at 3 sets of 15. when i was up to 6 sets of 50 I wanted to see how much, if any, my bench press had changed and I did 255lbs for 3 reps. with relative ease.

 

I also weigh about 200lbs. at the time i started i was about 210. So I was/am pushing a lot of weight.

scroll past the "Physical Fitness Standards" section and the work out is posted.
