You'd need to keep your reps 3 sets of between 7-9 to build the muscle faster.
Lower reps will increase your strength, but they wont bulk you up.
Higher reps will increase your tone, but wont bulk you up.
Strictly speaking your should try as hard as possible to do resistance train with equal amount on each side of the body at the same time. Not doing so can mess up your spine.
And because of the likely hood of better control on one side than the other, you're unlikely to be able to treat each side of your body the same as you do one armed pushups, so the results will be different.
Try something more reasonable like normal pressups with your hands closer to your waist, and/or doing them while wearing a rucksack filled with books.
That would be better for you.

different human beings use different approaches. some locate the diamond push up are extra handy and a few the extensive arm. and maximum the familiar. as each technique makes use of mussels in a different way. so the ideal element is to get a replicate and prepare type. reason you're able to do 40 incorrect ones and not one will count type. save working at it and you gets extra ideal with time. you should use weights. on your decrease back or a vest. yet back no % till at last you get the type precise. and once you're taking your PT attempt keep in mind you may slide your arms to a different place like extensive arm and push out some extra.

Yes, because you are placing all of your body weight on just 1 arm, instead of just half the wight when you do 2 armed ones (since you are placing twice the weight on your arm, it will cause your muscles to work twice as hard)

They are definitly a level up. I would try two first then move up to one for that extra level of fitness. Especially the weaker arm too.
Good luck!
