Pushups have probably been around for thousands and thousands of years and the reason is because they get results. Pushups will build a strong functional body and that has been proven over and over again.
There is so many different variations of pushups that you can train the body so many different ways. I think using your own bodyweight as resistance is the way to an amazing level of physical fitness that can't be duplicated.
I have demonstrated many different pushups, ones that have never been seen. The swing walk, the Wildman bodybuilder and many more and you will never run out of exercises they are that versatile.
Pushups will also build an athletic type body. As a matter of fact, look at any man that practices pushups on a regular basis and you will know that these guys are in shape.
You can bench press 300 lbs and not be in shape, but you can't do 100 straight pushups unless you are in shape. 100 pushups takes muscular endurance, good cardio fitness as well as strength.
In the manual "How to build explosive pushup power" there are 69 different pushups as well as 15 different pushups using pushup bar's and there are many more that could be thought up.
Then there are the plyometric pushups, these pushups will build strength, power, muscular endurance, quickness, speed. There is no end to the benefits of pushups.
Pushups are not just for warm-ups or for cool downs they are a serious exercise with serious benefits.
Try this workout: Walk off 10 feet. Do 30 pushups walk 10 to 12 feet do 29 pushups Walk off 10 to 12 feet do 28 continue until you get down to 1 Watch your chest swell.
