Being in the military where we have to do lots of pushups, I found the best way to improve pushups were to do pushups.
One thing we did to help people max out their pushups was to start out each morning and do as many pushups until failure. Then we'd pick a number that was 75-80% of that and do those every hour on the hour. We did this 3-5 days a week for a couple weeks until their physical fitness test and it definitely helped. Not only does it work your upper body strength, it also works your core and lower back.
This technique really helped me; I don't maintain that regimen, but I'm able to complete 47-50 pushups within a minute for my physical fitness test. With P90X, since pushups are spread out, it's a lot more0 -
do the hundred push-up challenge it starts you off with how ever many you can do and them increases little my little I went from being able to do four to doing 45 in like a month.you should be able to find the web page pretty easy0
