You may need the 5-10 seconds rest in between depending on your fitness.
the good thing about pyramids is 1. you dont get so bored 2. you do more than just big numbers 3. better pressups 4. you cant win
you cant win because the better you become in say 5,10,15,10,5 then you just either do: 1. the pressups nice & slow 2. less recovery time 3. add a step to pyramid eg: 5,10,15,20,15,10,5

Important:
do all press ups (narrow or wide) at full extentions so you go as low as you can without curving back and then back up till arms lock out.(quality before quantity) as your quality rises your numbers will also.
