I can't recall where I read that if you want to improve one specific thing, you should attempt to work it as much as possible. Not necessarily work sets, but just do it allot. I have seen this first hand with pullups. I had always been good at them, but it wasn't until I started doing 3 sets of ten almost every day that I saw significant improvement.

Pushups would be one way to do it I would think, but it would probably be better to actually do a couple moderate sets of bench before your workouts.

Also the above is just my opinion, it could just be a placebo effect =-).
