I can do about 30-35 in a row, 50 max with 1 or 2 breaks (couple seconds).

I have no idea how my form is and I have to be pretty well warmed up first.

I did thai boxing and jiu-jitsu for a while before I could do this also.

I also find it easier to count in 5's. If I try to count regular I start to think I'm doing a lot and my mind wants to stop because its a lot. But if i count in 5's (1,2,3,4,5,2,2,3,4,5,3,2,3,4,5...) I mentally don't think I've done as many and can keep going.

I used to be able to do aobut 80-90 in middle school. Now I can do 40-50 depending on if I'm motivated or not. It really helps if you have a fixed up-down rate. (It did for me anyways).

A year ago asking me to do ten push-ups was asking a lot from me.  A few months ago after getting back into lifting weights with my buddy I realized that I now can do about 25-32 without rest before collapsing on the floor in a big squishy pile of awesomeness.
