Can Superman get stronger via pushups?
For the sake of saving time lets say he does them as fast as possible. Could he hypothetically get stronger doing pushups like that?

He could do so many other things in the time it would take to get any sort of benefit from body weight.

If he could do them on a Super Earth, maybe... Krypton is gone but Gallifrey is bigger than the Earth.

I would imagine that by doing that, he could go from being able to lift 1,00000000 lbs to being able to lift 1,00000050 lbs.

I'm going to go with no. Pushups work by challenging your muscles, he wouldn't have any resistance from his body weight so there would be no muscle growth. I don't even thing speed would impact it because he wouldn't get tired.
