Is it a good idea to do really a lot of push-ups?
Is it a good idea to do really a lot of push-ups? I'm currently doing 70-80 in one series, but after long training I'm hoping to do much much more. Of course every exercise is good for muscles and helps to train endurance etc.
But wouldn't doing a really big number of push-ups (say, 1000 and more) have some side-effects? Wouldn't it be too much for the joints, for example? Or wouldn't the tendons in forearms be in danger?
I want to be strong and fit, but it first I don't want to hurt myself so I want to be cautious when it comes to intensive training.

No danger for the muscles, joints or ligaments really. If you are used to walking and spend several hours taking a walk outside with a friend will that be bad for your body?
Doing a lot of push-ups will just develop endurance, if that's what you want then go for it. Last time I checked the world record for non-stop push-ups was 10,507 and was set by Minoru Yoshida. Now that would be abusing it a little bit too much but still if you have progressed slowly to that point your body would be able to adequately handle it.
