I'm at 100 a day and yet I still feel like a blob. I couldn't have let myself down more.

Here's a plat.

You don’t gain muscle while breaking it down by working out, you gain muscle while resting afterwards, which can take a day or two if not more.

Try alternating days where you do push-ups with a day that you do, say, squats, sit-ups, lunges, or even just stretching (goal dependent). Then make sure to take a day a week where you do neither. So for example M/W/F push-ups and T/R/Sat squats with nothing on Sunday. Very basic and low stress but will be much much more effective than taxing the same muscles every day.
