That's pretty good, but try this once, just for grins. Hang a bar from some straps on each end so it floats a few inches off the floor. Elevate your feet on something stabile by the same amount and see how many pushups you can do on the bar. I'd be willing to bet it would be pretty darn close to the same number of reps you can do with 135 lbs.
By the way, I did the scale trick just this past weekend and Irishdazza is correct, standard pushups are approx. 66% of bodyweight. Feet elevated 18" is approx. 76%.
