I've always been very bad at push ups and could only ever do maybe 2 or 3 at most with alot of effort and would give me bad shoulder pain. I've been looking at form videos for about a year now and couldn't point out my problem until I stumbled upon an Athlean X video. He said to open up your chest keeping the shoulders back to avoid the front delts from taking over (which was causing my shoudler pain). Well, I tried this and I instantly went from 3 measly push ups to 9 correct push ups with no pain, and finally felt my chest working for the first time. I'm sure this is common knowledge to alot of you in this sub but this was never pointed out to me even through all my searching and it could be the reason alot of others can't do push ups.
