Try to squeeze in some pullups or something as well, and do different types of pushups.

I think he said he's doing this at work, so that'd be hard to do at work.

your diet is most important, also, sleeping all day isn't very healthy and just doing push ups won't make you bulk

Pushups isn't going to cut your belly fat that requires diet and ab exercises

It will be slow gains but eventually it will begin to pay off. You can start increasing them as time goes on aswell, like instead of doing 25-30 start doing 35-40 maybe two time an hours etc. Also doing crunches/bicycles for an ab workout may be beneficial for you at work, maybe 60 every hour?

 

Goodluck with your workout, it is good to see an innovative idea.

To have any chance of gaining muscle, you'll need a complete workout plan. Hitting your chest 7 days/7 will not give you a massive chest. You need to eat right, train right and sleep right. Sleep is the most important of the three, at least 8 hours of continual sleep per day for muscle recovery.

 

To eat right you're going to need to eat around 1g of protein per lb of body weight so if you weight 140lbs you'll need 140g per day to maintain a positive nitrogen balance and be able to build muscle. Without that you're breaking muscle down and not repairing it. 

 

To train right you're going to need a routine that suits you. For bulking up I always go with the 5x5 routine, search this on google if you don't know what it is. This will give you a bigger chest, arms, back and legs.

 

This is coming from a guy who used to weigh 145lbs and now weighs 225lbs with 8% BF. It's not easy but it's not the hardest thing in the world either. Good luck!

You Gotta work out Like your in a prison You notice how people who go into prison look pre weak, when they are released they look buffed as shit. A nice show you watch is "Lockup" Either on youtube or online movie/tv episode website.I'd take there advice on working out.

Pushups will hardly hit your chest. They are a good compound movement that will mainly hit your supporting muscles like front deltoids. With good tight form you will hit your triceps and it will act like an isometric for other muscles like abs and back (if you are squeezing/activating them). The pushup is more of an auxillary exercise and will hardly influence muscular imbalance, so it is not so harmful to do in absence of other exercises, but not great. Eating 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight is a fucking joke of a formula and it not necessary to gain muscle. Still keeping your daily protein intake high is essential ofc though.Your muscle will only start to break down in the serious absence of exercise and nutrition.. I would predict 140g of protein for someone who is 140lbs to be a waste and it may not even get utilised fully; that is body-building type shit, sounds like an ideal program for someone like fucking arnold.

EDIT: The rest of what you are saying sounds good

1g per lb of body weight is the bulking way of putting on muscle. By the way Bodybuilders formula is 300g+ per day which is what Arnold would do. I always eat 180g a day and when I wanted to bulk I usually went with 1lb per g, as a general rule of thumb. If you know anything about bodybuilding you should know that 1g/lb is on the lower end with most people tending to use 1.5g-2g/lb of bodyweight. 

 

And by the way the above 1g/lb of bodyweight has been studied in medical journals over the past 10 years and is seen as the perfect protein balance. 

This won't do anything for you. Do something like 3 sets until failure, not a few push ups every hour.

Correct. I've read several studies that high protein intake (above 1g/lb bodyweight) while cutting makes a big difference in conserving muscle mass. While bulking it doesnt really matter that much though, I think most studies agree that anything above 0.8g/lb isnt necessary. It's just easier to go for 1g to make sure you're getting enough at least.

So hows the progress?

Also you could try to go to gym, it takes only like 1 hour and 15minutes, where 15minutes is warming up

But IF you don't have time for that push-ups will train your triceps and chest as secondary. Don't forget biceps shoulders, back, abs and last but not least legs

For biceps and shoulders you could try to get dumbells to your workplace For abs you don't need any items.

Back and legs are the hardest places to train without gym-machines but for legs you could try to do squats with dumbells.

 

BUT for you I suggest to try gym like 3-4 days per week, no matter that you haven't been there, everyone starts from some situation. 

Day 1: Chest and shoulders

Day 2: Legs and abs

Day 3: (Rest day, maybe abs at home/workplace)

Day 4: Back

Day 5: Biceps and triceps

 

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you good luck

There is also many other studies suggesting a lower amount of protein is sufficient. 1g/lb could be considered safe if you're that concerned, seeing as how all the scientifical evidence does not point in the same direction. You can't conclude that 1g/lb is the 'perfect protein balance', though.
