currently i would do 15 - 20 press ups max.
Your opinion much appreciated!

They wont build arm muscles to any great extent,they'll tone you up allright.To build mass on the arms and chest try bench pressing.For big rams you'll need to work the triceps as well as the biceps as they form 60% of the overall size,again benching is good for this or you could try tricep extensions,rope pulldowns for your triceps and standing barbell curls,concentration curls and preacher curls for your biceps.
