No need to load the creatine just take 5g daily.

Agreed. The end goal is just a constant presence of creatine in the muscle, and the small increase in how fast you get to saturation isn't worth the cost.

The pushups...if you're just starting out, I wouldn't worry a ton. You won't push a ton of weight in the gym to begin with, so recovery should be fine.

If you get 2-3 weeks in and your chest, shoulders and triceps are always sore and don't let up, start pulling back on the pushups. Unless you get that constant soreness you can't recover from, you should be good.
