How long did you do push ups and what kind of push ups and how many push ups?
You can try different types. such as:
1) Single Leg - wrap one leg over the other.
2) Incline - Put your feet up on a chair.
3) Dip Pushups - Have you hands higher off the ground elevated by books or two chairs (or buy bars) that let you dip down past the normal level getting a deeper pushup.
Also need to work up to 200+ push ups 4 times a week for 6 months to really see the muscle building up. But you will get some nice pectoral muscles if you do this!
to continue on the variation
4)wide push - spread you arms wider that you shoulders width.
5) staggered - keep your hands at standard width but keep them one in front of the other. example your left hand will be next to your face while your right is next to your chest.
6)military - keep your hands close to your body by your rib cage and keep the elbows from flaring.
