Exactly, I mean the joints. Most of all I notice them, when I do the diamond-pushups, one-arm-pushing on wall or chair. But I want to reach my goal doing one-arm-pushups (at least 5 reps). But when I fix the position of the last ones, it is less painful for the joints. I guess I do something wrong on the diamond-pushups... :/ I take a break every second day but I get a bad feeling, when I pause for 3 days :/ Cracky sounds didn't happen to me when I do this. Most I start pushup-exercises without warming up. Maybe that is the problem.

I've been exercising in my own room since summer, that also includes push-ups. I've just hit 40 push-ups in a row! On another note, are there any other exercises for building strength/gaining muscle that are possible do in a small room with no equipment?
That depends mate, do you have some dumbbells or doing body weight? For dumbbells I recommend https://www.scribd.com/document/213277313/The-Lost-Secret-to-a-Great-Body For body weight I recommend the Great Gama routine of Hindu Push-Ups uilding up to 3000 and Hindu-Squats building up to 5000 with some isometric & running.
You have any weighing less? Because fir the W.A.T.C.H its best to start with the lightest weigh at first to then go a bit heavier
Today I did: 2x10 pushups on dumbells 1x14 pushups on dumbells 3x10 archer-pushups 1x10 diamond-pushups 1x10 slow diamond-pushups 1x12 diamond-pushups 3x20 staggered pushups (10 per arm) 1x6 Planche Leans (soft ones) 2x12 decline pushups On every set of staggered pushups I put my other assisted arm more forward each time for more challenge. But it's still not good enough...
Fair enough, I'd recommend either getting lighter ones use hand grippers the start to then use 3kg or just use what you have, up to you. I'm using 1kg to really focus on my Mind To Muscle connection & plan to move up to 2kg next year.

2x20 one-arm-pushups on the chair (10 per arm including assisting arm) 3x20 archer-pushups (10 per side) 3x14 diamond-pushups 3x10 pushups on dumbbells (going deep as possible and returning high as possible) 2x20 staggered pushups (10 per arm) 2x10 leg raised pushups (1 set per leg) 1x5 power pushups (new one but totally failed) Tried something new but I'm not good enough, damned. I want to do some pushup-exercises just for fun during the day (not a totally program like I do else). Is this recommendable for example, doing 20 pushups on day 1, 10-15 diamond-pushups on day 2, etc.? Any suggestions?
