    I'd recommend doing calendar pushups. When you wake up in the morning, right after silencing your alarm, look at the date. Let's say its 11/13/2018. You would do 11 + 13 + 18 pushups for the month, day, and year, respectively. Then, you start your day and go about your business.

    Do the same right before you sleep.

    This is a great way to get extra volume in outside a normal workout session. You can even adapt the method ... for instance, if you're on a 7 day streak, do 7 extra pushups.

    Light workout of the biceps and triceps as a warmup can help with the pushups.

    Like John DK said, start small and work your way up.

    Yesterday I did 20 push-ups in one set, and today I do 21. Tomorrow, I'll do 22 and so on. If I ever get stumped I just don't increase the number. Before you know it you'll have attained your goal!

    I did the same with a ridiculously fast keyboard phrase: I started at 60 bpm, and increased by 1 every day I tried. I didn't need to try that hard at any time, yet before I knew it I was playing the phrase at 91 bpm.

    I did intense push-up training a few times in my life. Once I got to 60 push-ups and a few one-armed ones. However, each time I ended up feeling pain in my shoulders, so I would stop it. Be careful and listen to your body! You don't need to stop once you feel the slightest bit of discomfort, but if it gets worse over time, chances are you could benefit from lighter training or a break. [I heard that you should not go too low with your chest, i.e. your elbows should not be higher than your chest (=right angle between upper arm and forearm). Is there anyone who can confirm this?]

    Do sets. Rest, drink water, repeat. I suggest adding something such as sit-ups or squats.

    That's good advice. I'm doing the same and now I'm doing about 100 push-ups split in 4 or 5 sets.

    By the way, why you need those 100 push-ups in a row? Is it necessary in your job, hobby and so on? I'm not criticising you but I've thought about it some time ago.
    My father said "During army service we didn't train so much of push-ups. Those were necessary if sergeants wanted to bully someone. Most of training was running and gymnastic".

    Some people said it's dangerous because your body is still "stiff" after sleep.

    100 pushups? If you do the starting strength program in 3 months you'll be able to do pushups until you think they're pointless.

    I'd probably also consider having some kind of a rest day/break inbetween this practice. When you start hitting the higher rep ranges (assuming youre not just doing 1 set a day, that'll probably be fine to do everyday) your performance over time may see to diminish without breaks inbetween as your upper body gets worn out.

    Good goal man, Right now I'm workin on the same thing. I'd recommend doing max pushups (until you drop) 2-3 times a day just throughout the day. (Make sure you're not starting from nothing though. Spend a week or so working up your intensity so your body is used to the intense excercise). Right now I'm at 60 pushups, though they're real fast, not slow. Gonna go up to 100, then work on improving and going slower and slower. I've found that if you work on anything MULTIPLE times a day, you will get gains in reps quickly. I went from doing 0 pullups to doing 15 pullups and 20 chinups (deadhang), in around a month. Trick? Put a pullup bar in your doorway and EVERY time you walk past it, do max pullups, and alternate between chinups, pullups every time. Just do them a lot, not just once a day.
