For the last 2 months i have worked up to 5x12r push ups then within a couple times hiting this workout i regress. Then i drop back to something thats managable like 5x10r and try to build back up from there and the same thing happens, i get stuck to 5x12 and s couple workouts at this i regress. Im to the point where i just feel this is crazy. Im getting no where same thing generally happens with all exercises, meaning i work up to a specific amount of sets and reps then cant get past it and start to regress on the exercise, i reduce the volume and build back to the same sets and reps and same thing happens. Thoughts?

push ups regreasing

If it's happening with all exercises I would look at recovery and frequency of training. How is sleep, are you eating enough, are you training too much/little?
My thoughts: try doing them with a slower tempo. It's a pretty reliable way to get those extra few reps when you return to your regular tempo, in my experience.
