How do marine brain cells die? Alone. What do you call a marine with two brain cells? Pregnant. Lift and lose weight. 3-4 sets of 10-15 reps on the bench should get you up in no time. I'm saying lose weight because people who can only do 20 push-ups tend to be fat since that's pretty low for a guy. Eat right. Your body needs good fuel to recover itself and get stronger. These all sound obvious but if you can only do 20 push-ups you're not doing some of them.

What's your goal?

12-15 reps is optimal for hypertrophy and strength. Therefore you need more weight to keep your reps around 12. More reps are good for endurance. Is your goal muscle endurance?
