fitness How many pushups can you do without stopping?

This general fitness thread covers all aspects of fitness, including workouts, nutrition, wellness tips, lifestyle changes, and fitness advice.
Currently, I am taking approximately 20 to 25 push-ups without pause, but I am always in the process of striving forward to doing more.
It's a great start. I began (2016) with like 6 or 8 pushups, and now that's my end goal doing them to technical failure with leg-elevated pushups, which is probably 80% of my body weight at the peak.

But, it's not all that I can do. So, I have to push against the wall to absolutely kill the muscles and get the most benefit out of it.
 
Here's a great calculator I just found that estimates the weight pushed for variations. When I say that I elevate my feet 30", it means that it's a decline pushup, while against the wall would be more of an incline pushup.


It states that roughly 70-75% of body weight is used in a decline pushup position. So, I was pretty close in my guess there. However, the calculator doesn't align with this figure.
