Using push ups to train biceps is a very desperate way so I wouldn't count on them. It's mainly for triceps and chest.

You clearly haven't seen mine. There's pushups that are for biceps such as the diamond push up, the three inch distance from hands one I talked about. For biceps it's good putting your hands closer together.

--- Quote ---Diamond pushups are a modified, more difficult version of a standard pushup. Although diamond pushups work the same muscles as a standard pushup, the diamond pushup emphasizes the muscles differently because of your hand position. Integrate diamond pushups into your routine to take your upper body workout to the next level.

--- Quote ---Like a standard pushup, a diamond pushup works your chest, triceps and front shoulders. However, because your hands are close together, the weight shifts so your triceps are the primary movers. In a standard pushup, your chest is the primary mover, with your triceps and front shoulders assisting. During a diamond pushup, your chest and front shoulders assist the triceps. Since the triceps are smaller muscles than the chest, this makes the diamond pushup more challenging than a standard pushup --- you are pushing the same amount of weight with a smaller, weaker muscle.

Push ups are not meant to be a biceps work out. It might stimulate them a bit, but it's far from efficient way of training them.

I don't think that it was because of the push ups.

All I do is push ups and crunches.
