Been doing this for a while, I was quite weak at the start (could only just do 10 push up) and now I'm on week 5 and can do about 35 push ups. I was stuck on the beginning of week 5 for a LONG time (it's 30, 24, 22, 20, 30+ with 60 sec rests). I discovered the problem eventually. Whilst my triceps could handle the exercise, my biceps and other partially used muscles were still to weak. So I bought some weights and began doing various weightlifting exercises. It took about 2 weeks but eventually I managed to get past the day I was stuck on. I have now almost given up on the 100 push ups plan as it is a bit poorly designed. You WILL need to do other exercises as well. It did however introduce me to getting in the habit of exercising regularly and since then I have been doing a combination of various dumbell and body weight exercises and have discovered creating a proper exercise program is a MUCH better method (inb4 slowpoke), and saw results much faster.
tl;dr - You probably won't be able to complete it, unless you are doing other exercises as well to do the parts of your upper body that push ups won't exercise. I reccomend finding a good upper body fitness program instead and sticking to it.
