I think ur body weight has a something to do with it but I also believe ur core strength and upper body strength is the biggest determining factor b/c when I was doing p90x I could do a couple pull ups and I was still around 150# and I'm 5'3 but I had gotten very strong in my upper body and core and could crank out about 35 push ups at that time on my toes....
Of course I probably could have done more if I was lighter but I was pretty strong at that time......now I can't even pull myself up half way....lol....but I do agree that with most people (especially females) if ur not doing them on a regular basis u will lose that ability(except if ur my husband)....aarrrrrrgh.....makes me so mad....lol
