benching you have no mechanical advantage, whereas pushups only force you to lift ~1/2 of your weight and give you a mechanical advantage of ~125%
aside from that, there are different muscle groups involved
for me, i can bench 150 (my weight) fairly easily (8*3), but I can't do pushups for shit (25 or so before i lose my form)
bench what you can, then work up.
inb4 pushup advice - i know what i'm doing wrong and i'm working on it
