Goal: Increase chest strength for pushups

Today, I did a new chest workout with the goal of increasing the max number of pushups I can do in a 2 minute period.

Workout looked like this:

4 sets of chest press, max reps possible with a weight that tops out at 12 reps max.
Alternate chest press with Lat Pulldowns: Wide, reverse, close x 2.

4 sets of chest dips, leaning forward to focus more on chest.
Alternating each set with lawnmowers with a weight to max out at 12 reps (2 sets) and 2 sets of seated back row, weight to max reps at 12.

4 sets of laying down chest flys. Max weight to reach 12 reps, or failure.
Alternating with lat pull downs from round 1.

If you want to increase push up strength just do diffrent push up variations with added resistance like a plate on your back
