100 pushups challenge

[racerxmachina.livejournal.com]

So, I'm going to start the 100 pushups challenge this week, after waiting over a month for my right upper arm to heal from being injured.
I'll do the initial test tonight, and see how many I can do.  I'll do knee pushups initially, but I'm going to change my usual form to the ergonomically better one presented on the site (crossed knee) to lessen the chance of my cheating/getting injured. 

I'll post results of the test here, then results of the actual program as I perform it. 
Hm, come to think of it, I don't really track how many pull-over crunches I do, I should track that, too.

Someone want to do this program with me? I'm going to start pretty slow, as it took me a LONG time to come back to a full range of motion.

Does it work at all to do the bench or even wall variations that the site suggests, just to condition the other muscles around the injury? Or not? Gods know I'll never encourage someone to "just work through" pain.

It might work. I'm going to consult with a trainer who can help me do everything correctly.

My upper arm had a big inflamed knot sitting between the muscles that just slaughtered me when I merely moved it, so I hear you on the crunchy and the owie.
If you can't do pushups, don't do pushups. I won't touch a heavy bag since I've got an old bone break that never quite healed right in my left hand. So you do what you do, and and I'll try this, and somehow we'll all be the better for it!
