Pushups will only build stamina. Logic says the pushup won't build strength unless you're kind of weak to begin with. As far as how many to do? Well a combination of both. Do as many as you can till you are fatigued. Rest for a min or so and crank out another set. Do 3 or 4 sets. THEN do another few sets doing different variation of the pushup to stimulate other parts of your chest muscles. Like I said though, you will not gain any muscle from these, just endurance.
