hey, you don't have to believe me. I'm ok with that. In addition to regular push ups I was doing multiple sets of prison cell push ups. Prison Cell Pushups. P90X are 90 minute full body workouts. I had crazy upper body strength. I constantly got compliments on the muscle tone of my arms.
Pull ups are probably 85% back muscles while push ups are pecs, deltoids, triceps and abs.
They work different muscle groups. I obviously had better developed chest, shoulders, arms and abs than back. So I could get through multiple push ups but I had trouble doing pull ups.

I was an athlete and I had endurance.
Doing 100 push ups and not being able to do one single pull up is impossible.
It would be an unbelievable muscle imbalance, no matter your level of fitness.
ok.

Then be careful. Muscle imbalances between the push and pull muscles can lead to shoulder injuries.
In theory one is supposed to row almost as much as he benches.
