How many times have you been strong enough to do push ups (regular push ups)? Have you been able to do push ups 50 times? Can you push up 100 times without stopping? That means the push ups you are doing are less challenging.
If you can reach push ups with many reps, you need to try other variations of push up exercises that are more weighty and challenging. One variation of push up exercises that you can try to apply in your training menu is clap push up or in the Indonesian language, commonly referred to as pat push ups.
Of course this clap push up has a much more challenging movement and has a heavier weight than you do regular push ups. If you don't believe it, try you do a regular push up 15 times, and also do the clap push up 15 times. Clap push ups are heavier and more tired to do.

- Repeat the movement 10-15 reps, 3-4 sets
