I havent pushed for my max in while.  I use to do 50 pushups 3 times a week when I was young.  Then when I got into more serious training I stopped and did less.. didn't need to do that many.  Right now I do 2-3 sets of weighted pushups everyweek.  After doing weighted pushups.. then when you do regular push ups with no weight its like doing nothing.. easy.  Its ashame how you see people who cant even go fully down and up with good form and do 10 pushups with no weight.  I guess its easier to put junk food in your mouth then to do some real work.  I think doing weighted push ups at the end or during any time in a chest workout really works well.
