I used to do 100 push ups per night… before I got into weights, I would do push ups every night for max reps… 10 weeks sounds like a reasonable timeframe to get up to 100 pushups. But you definitely don’t need to overthink it, just practice them daily. They certainly don’t take a lot out of you.

Wtf is wrong with you? You could get to 100 pushups in 10 weeks by yourself. Just do a few rep-out sets 3x/week. Don’t go to failure but do as many as you can just before hitting the nerve. Keep your rest periods at about 4 minutes or so. That’s it, free. Do this and you’ll reach 100 before you know it. Probably even before 10 weeks. [/quote]
I would bet money this would be at least as succesful as a more complicated program.
Don’t overthink this stuff, hit up a couple of sets several times a week. Continue the rest of your weight training as usual, no reason a few sets of pushups are going to throw a wrench into the works.

Instead of benching, do one arm pushups. You will become stronger in pushup form, thus helping your max reps.
For the past few weeks I have been doing a 10 step pyramid of one armers, reducing rest each time and then finishing of with a max set of regular pushups and then as many sets until I hit 100. My numbers have increased greatly and I can hit about 85 now. [/quote]
One arms put all the stress on one little old elbow joint. Warm up VERY THOROUGHLY before attempting.
