There's a trade-off between frequency and volume.
If you increase volume, you need longer to recover, but you maximize protein synthesis for a single session (usually PS reaches its peak 24 hours after a work out, but it continues for up to 36 hours). If you have high frequency, you'll also increase protein synthesis with more frequency, but you'll be less able to go high volume.
So I think the middle-ground is somewhere between there, and it will depend on your age/hormonal levels.
I suspect I've got pretty good genes, so I can handle 1x a week of ridiculous volume. But I doubt my body can do that for much longer.
I think 3 exercises of 8 sets (maximum) for the chest 3x a week is probably ok. Give it a shot.
Drop the push-ups. That's too much volume.
