The wrist issue is more about stabilization strength than upper body strength. Try push ups on the balls first until you can control the movement of the balls, then progress up.
Cool, not to mention it looks easier on the wrists, and is a better grip workout, and there's more range of motion to work with. Only thing is...so long as you focus on keeping the knees locked out, I don't think there's any risk at all of the hips flexing. Lumbar extension isn't always the best idea with this either, you want to keep the back sorta straight with abs tight.
i nearly boke my wrists doing this i really dont reccomend unless you are really strong on the upper body
