I do this weekly. It will kick your tail.
You're not doing hardcore amounts, you don't need to worry about recovery or be a slave/OCD to you strength training days. Figure out weekly total (75?) and just get it done whenever, on commercial breaks, waiting for microwave, at the bus stop in front of some hotties etc. If it's 3 days in a row, no big deal, you get 4 days off, you'll still be better off then the average couch potato.
If you're bored, mix it up once in awhile with clap pushups, diamond pushups, spidermans etc.
FWIW Usain Bolt does 4500 crunches a week, 1000 on easy days, 500 on hard, no rest days.
Worked a job where I lifted everyday. Retired fairly young. Every spring I would up my "hobby jogger" miles and eventually would develope some nagging condition. Started with push ups and sit ups and over a year and a half added about 8 more body weight exercises. Haven't had a single issue since. I do at least one set six days a week.
My son who runs XC and track D-1 hated doing weight days because he was always sore after. He has been doing the exercises that I put together and lifts
2 to 3 days. He was the only one on his XC team that didn't see the trainer this past XC season. Six days a week seems to be working for us.

You do not need "recovery" from any body weight exercise you are doing dozens of consecutively like push-ups and core stuff. Do every day. Do once a year. Whatever. But recovery and "rest days" are meaningless for push-ups.
If you do many (400 to 1200 a day) you DO need recovery. 25 ... sure - you don't.

"Walker has participated in a variety of sports including football, Olympic bobsledding, track and field, taekwondo, and ballet dancing. Instead of lifting weights, he has a daily regimen of 750 to 1,500 push-ups and 2,000 sit-ups.[62] He has been going through this same routine since high school.[63]"

brutus recommend the mighty bench press to make better 4K time
nothing beats mighty bench press for chesticular development
mighty bench press not to be trifled with and require long rest period

Did all of the advice take into account the type of push ups im doing? I keep the down position for 2 usually closer to 3 seconds. So by the 10th rep I am already feeling a burn. Would that make a difference in rest days?

So this is one set? And you want someone to do ten of these as fast as they can?
Are we talking real pull ups and push ups or crossfit style?
Big difference.
What's a real pull-up? Arms straight, 45 degrees, 90 degrees?

I can't believe that people thing that work out is impossible. I'm a 47 yr old runner and I can do it (its my Monday morning workout). I'm sure all the sub14 running superstars on here can knock this out no problem.
Then do chin ups, or assisted, or inverted rows. The goal is to do a pulling movement.
I like close grip (closer than shoulder width), hammer grip (palms in) pull-ups. I can do a lot more of those than chin ups....for most people this will be he strongest position for pulling.
More fun bodyweight exercises:
Burpee push-up pullup.....do as it says, pullup bar must be above you so you can jump about 6 inches to reach.
Box jump, depth jump circuit. Boxes of various heights, 2-3 jumps total.
Single leg deadlift, touch fingers to ground.
Traveling push-up, push-up, move body left do a push-up, move body right, do a push-up
Plyo push-up onto step or between steps. No more than 4 inches off the ground.
Spider man push-up
Rope climbs for days
Contralateral knee or toe touch from the push-up position. In the push-up position, move your left leg/knee under and across your body to touch your right hand. Then alternate sides. Yeah it sucks.

There are lots of correct ways to do a pullup.
The problem with kipping like Crossfit is that it is inherently unsafe.

Let's see the video of you doing that workout.
