While building your chest muscles, should do initially 350 push ups and should increase it till 500-600 push ups daily than after continuing for some months you can reduce it 200-300 push ups daily. When going to start push ups,do as much push ups in one stroke and your chest muscles will built very fast and it will last long.

You should do as many pushups as you can at time once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. If you can find more time you could do even more.

Building chest muscles requires a steady regimen which includes various chest exercises such as bench press, incline press, push ups, etc. Work out your chest twice a week max.
