You make it sound harder than it is :-)
First off you are probably not lifting 100kg when you do pushups, 
because a good part of your weight is supported by your feet. I think 
less than 70% of your weight is more accurate. Even less if you do them 
on your knees (which you should probably try).

And the arms are not in an unusual position when you do that exercise. 
They are very well made to operate in front of your torso :-) For a more 
unusual position try the reverse push ups, with the belly facing up 
instead of down...

Read this book for more fun :-D
