if this is confusing just let us know that u cant really understand.i do this every day after breakfast,and before im going to bed.but the same results each day

Answer 1

You're probably at a plateau.  Try a different exercise, maybe hit some free weights.  Sometimes you need to confuse the muscle.  

Are you also doing the push ups properly?  Stomach flat, straight line from your shoulders to your ankle.  

Answer 2

You're not improving as you're not able to do them of a good quality. Try instead doing five sets of 20 with a minute in between(less if you are not able to complete them easily.) Every week add another one on (ie second week five sets of21,)then just attempt the 50 one day a week until you can complete it.
