More isn't better, better is better.
Your body doesn't get fitter from the stress of exercise.
It gets fitter during rest when it recovers from exercise.
Had my own bout with the pushup issue back at age 21.
Tried to reach the arbitrary goal of 1000 per day/7 days per week.
Injured three times trying build/maintain it.
My wrists still have problems with pushups.
By my late 20's, discovered that the greatest return on time invested came from high intensity/limited volume weight training.
Eventually never did more than 6 reps in a set.
Could still do 90+ pushups in a set and bench press 300+.
YMMV.
