When I was in the Army, 80-100 depending on the hill and what all we had done prior.
Currently: 20-30

Hardly any, but then being overweight means I'm combining push ups with some serious weightlifting 
You fit guys strap our difference in weight to your back, then we'll compete
(and you'll still win, but hey )

I don't do pushups unless asked, so I cba doing them now. Pull-ups? 20. Sit-ups? 100, but I got bored when I reached then.
Argh pushups.... my PE teacher put me in hospital because of them. I can't do pushups because of some disease I have in my elbows >=(
I'm not too good with estimated measurements but lets say I can run my street back at a mild speed easily. And my street is one loooooooonnnggg son of a *****. And steep too.

Push-ups give you a tight chest and shoulders (just like slumping in front of a monitor all day) so bugger that.
I can bench 415 and leg press 1800-1900. I haven't timed a run in about 10 years, mainly because I hate running. I'd rather slam my head in a car door repeatedly if it had the same effect on my fitness.

I think I did like 100 pushups like that once, and at some point I did a thousand sit-ups in a row and got bored.Pimppeter2 said:
I started on squats but got bored with those pretty soon as well.
I am quite a fast sprinter, but as far as endurance goes, I sorta suck.
I have been able to do 25 chin-ups (Is that a pullup?) at one time before.
...I used to run a 4.8 forty-yard dash
...I used to have 6% body-fat while weighing 235 lbs.
...I used to be a top prospect in American Football
But now, 23 year laters, I couldn't even do a single push-up at the moment-- yeah, yeah, that's more because my left upper arm is broken from snowboarding than and real physical decrepitude, but still...
The point is, ladies and gents: enjoy your youth. Speaking as one of the senior Escapist community members, I can tell you from experience: physical effort gets more difficult as you age, and it doesn't matter what kind of athlete you are.
Parkour, snow-sports, track & field... our bodies move in a different direction as we get older. It's a genetic imperetive.
So enjoy your youth-- in fact, fucking exult in it... because it won't be there forever.
