Right now I can do about 50. When I'm actually in shape, I can do around 100 (regulation, US Army-approved pushups).

Yeah, i used to do about 88 in 2 mins... and get up. 102 was max... then found out the extra points didnt count so saved energy for the run lolz. Now i can probably do like <50

I did 100 in 2 minutes on a bet. That was about 13 years ago. I could probably get to 20 or 30 now without breaking form.
 
I can do 13 with first finger and thumb. Still can't do thumb pushups. Never tried in a minute, my max is 46 in a row.

42 pushups, 52 situps and 2 miles in 15:56 is all you need.

I can barely do 20 in one sitting, but I'm working on the above. I've read 53 situps and 15:12 though, maybe things have changed?
 
From what I've seen, most people do TERRIBLE pushups. They say they can do 50, but when doingthem properly can't even squeek out 10.

 
I have been doing pushups all my life. I could never do more than 50 straight. And of course these are real form pushups.

Right now I can do 40-45 if it is the first set.
 
I could probably only do 10-15 without stopping............ when I was working out I could do 60 non stop 🙂

I struggle to do one push up on my fingers. Fingers are kind of longish and thin 🙁. I can rep out 65 but max is 75 in one set with strict form.

My father can use 2 fingers and one thumb on each hand. He has short and fatter fingers. A friend can do reps on his thumbs! My fingers feel as if they'll snap if I just use them. I'm a pretty bad ass rock climber and I can crush a CoC2 though 🙂, but barely any finger push ups...

I've always had a hard time with Pushups. Got 68 in 2 minutes last APFT.

I do good on situps though. Got 96 in 2 minutes last time.
