I am glad to see that you are joining in.. and yeah, I personally believe that your pushups should not be included in the table until you are able to average at least 10 pushups per day.. which I have frequently made the same assertion, which I believe is member neutral.

Of course, you can do various moderation in terms of pushups, so that you do not have to do regular/full pushups, such as doing your pushups from your knees or doing inclined pushups as philipma had described earlier in the thread where he did his pushups on the stairs where his hands were on the higher rungs of the stairs.

Another way to do moderated pushups might be to do them against the wall, so maybe if you can think of some way of moderating your pushups that works for you, then maybe try to do 8-10 pushups per set for maybe up to 3 sets per day spread out through the whole day and then work your way up to more and more difficult kinds of pushups where maybe someday down the road you might be able to do 8-10 or even more full regular pushups in each of your sets.

So one thing when you are beginning is that you want to make it something that you can do, but it is not overly easy, and you are likely to get sore for a week, two weeks or even longer, and I personally have mostly been sore the whole time (132 days for me so far) that I have been doing these pushups, so it surely hurts me and I frequently don't want to do them, but I do them and I can do more pushups without getting as sore but I also frequently need to psych myself out before doing the pushups and even to purposefully breath heavily while doing pushups and sometimes even grunt a lot in order to help to psych myself into being able to do the pushups... so I am not going to claim that they are easy and even if you are doing modified pushups which are supposed to be easier by design to help you get up to something like 8-10 pushups per set, you are still likely going to need to work your way up to more difficult varieties and try to stay persistent with them and also try not to make them so hard that you end up injuring yourself, so it is better to error a little bit on the side of going easy on yourself while your body is getting used to adding these new exercises to your daily routine, and if you are able to try to make sure that you eat well and you sleep well too, then those kinds of purposeful activities may also contribute to your strength and morale building in terms of being able to do whatever quantity of pushups that you are able to do.. and hopefully you can get up to an average of 10 per day in order to get included in the table.
