Push ups do allow muscle gains, but there are a number of other things in a push up that you need to do for muscle gain. For maximum strain on the muscle, you really need to flex that muscle throughout the movement. ie. focusing really hard on sqeezing your pecs especially during extension. The ease in muscle gain varies between people and it will be much easier if you have a naturally high testosterone levels. But yeah just as the others have posted, you need to vary your push up types and angles. incline for lower pecs, normal for general and decline for upper pecs. Just from looking at people who go to the gym, they tend to lose what they've gained a lot faster than if you use your own body weight. Hope that helps.
