I certainly had a pushup filled Sunday. I've included some graphs that document my suffering but the grand total for the experiment was 612. The second graph shows my quick degradation around 9:30 after many easy sets of 25. I knew then that the rest of the day would be a challenge. I took some rest periods in between and the recovery helped, but not by much or for very long before I was back to coasting at 9-12 pushup sets. And yes, today I am sore.

I'm glad Erik didn't get the best guess!
I'm surprised that after a mid-day break you were able to get a max push-ups/set of 30. Why didn't your sets first thing in the morning hit above 25? Were you pacing yourself? I still think it would be interesting to skip the pacing and just push your limits each time, playing with the rest time between sets. Muscle fatigue and recovery study! :) Good job, by the way. That is 611 more push-ups than I can currently do.
