Also an important reminder while you are doing push ups do not flare your elbows too much. Generally speaking for standard push ups you would want your elbow to be pointed about 45 degrees away from your body not 90. Sometimes when people are new to push ups they flare too much and it puts too much pressure on their shoulders. For wider grip push ups generally speaking it is ok but for standard push ups keep the elbows pointing out at about 45 degrees.
