I think I'll use the time to do sit-ups or crunches. Hope that the shoulder will heal by itself.

Well, i found out that i was doing them wide. More than 70 degree bending on the side can damage the shoulders. So my elbows were going to the side instead of to the back of my body. And my thumb were not facing forward but towards each other. Really bad. I'll try now the Jeff exercise for hurting shoulders for 1 month and then try to do correct push-ups after that.

Hi awesome community, I'm a newbie at fitness and i decided to just do pushups for about 1-2 months on a schedule, and then maybe add different exercises in addition to the pushups. As i'm a newbie, i do only 3 sets every other day (48 hours for rest). I do them maxed out for my capabilities - i do about 8-9 in the first set, then i believe something like 8 or so in the second set and about 5 in the third set. The first set i don't really max out in that once i can't do anymore i don't try to continue. The second one and the 3rd one, once i can't do anymore of them, i try to do one more. Maybe at the 2nd set i succeed, at the 3rd one i don't succeed to do one more and i give up after about 5-6 seconds. I do them like in these videos: Video 1, Video 2. Please watch them fully to understand and tell me if it's wrong. I did these 3 times (that means 1 day, then 1 day rest, then again 1 day). 3 sets each time. between 9 and 5 repetitions in each set, progressively lower in the latter ones. I was really missing physical activity, so i did see results even after only 3 days - definitely now when i bend my elbow i muscle is really definitely harder and larger (or maybe only harder and not larger, not really sure). But also a negative side of this: I don't experience shoulder pain, but i feel like my elbow once i let my hand to relax starts to move on its own somehow to separate from the body. I don't see it, it doesn't hurt me, but it's a really strange feeling. Like some tendon is expanding, being pulled by the shoulder. i haven't done them for 4 days anything. I definitely feel something like more muscle around the shoulder, and i am not sure what exactly is happening. Whether this muscle which is now definitely really harder than it was before is pushing my shoulder, or it's not really my shoulder but some tissue around it (i doubt it's not the shoulder). Last night i go to bed and i relax to fall asleep. My hand again feels like it wants to disconnect from the body, and i also hear like some liquid or i don't know, maybe the shoulder, making some strange noises on its own. Like then you unstick something that was glued with dry glue - this is the most accurate representation of the noise, it wasn't loud. Then i woke up this morning and hopefully it was still okay and on its place (the arm ). Should i do less reps in a set. Not max out? Rest for 1 month? Not sure what i've done wrong. If there are some fitness instructors here, i would really appreciate you helping me. Thank you once again.
