Pretty sure you are suppose to wait at least one day. (Should keep a schedule.)

No, that's not what I meant. I do wait a day, and sometimes two of it still hurts. Read a bit closer.
It said that I DO take the break regardless if my muscles hurt or not.

I was sick for 2-3 weeks recently and had to completely stop all exercise and was just hanging around the house and w.e. Pretty noticeable loss of muscle specifically in my biceps as well as triceps slightly. Gaining back that muscle is much easier than gaining it initially however. Probably takes maybe half* the time.

Really? I don't really see a loss at all. Sure I was sick with tonsillitis for about two weeks, but my arms are still pretty hard and big. Might just still be a bit sick as I have still a bit of gunk in my throat from it and a small amount of swelling. Apparently when you're sick your body uses more energy for the anti-bodies instead of exercise. I still was running and doing 30 - 40 push ups in a day during the time though so maybe my body's adjusted to it being so low. I'll keep it at 50 - 75 in a day for now until Monday and see if that helps.

Yea if you were ill can make a pretty big impact. Best to just work your way back up as you normally would. You might not even have actually lost muscle though, may still just be at a loss of energy from it or something.

Probably. Could sleeping on it wrong be an issue? I've been sleeping on it horribly wrong and they're a pain in the morning.

Well idk if you're having pain/discomfort from it throughout the day as well I'm sure that could possibly have an effect but probably not cut your reps in half.
Prox:
Just to clarify, pushups don't train your biceps.
