Although I apparently have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll dispense anyways...

If you're trying to up numbers in a single event like pushups, situps, etc. try working Tabata intervals. If you google them you'll come up with a great description plus all the research and supporting data.

A Tabata is simply 20 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times for a total of 4 minutes. You can do an entire workout of these with a Tabata of pushups, then situps, then pullups, etc. Or, lets say you pushups are flagging, just tag on a Tabata set of pushups at the end of your workout once or twice a week. If you don't see improvement I'll buy you a ham sandwich.
