I agree that push-ups involve the core. When I did STS, I was soooooo sore in my core from all the push-ups (that is, when I could finally do several by Meso 2). Now, thanks to STS, after 12+ years of being the biggest push-up wimp, I can do a few sets of 10-15. I have to use dumbbells on the floor for my hands to hold onto though. It hurts my wrists to do them flat.

IMO it is like so many other training rules. If you are used to it, you can do them regularly, but if you are just entering into the world of pushups, keep it down in the beginning to let your connective tissues build and adapt for the work. Your MUSCLES can be strong enough and yet have problems with elbows and shoulders due to "too much too soon" so once these areas are "trained" one can do them more often. Just like with anything else really.
