    Not sore in my pecs...

    So today I'm a bit sore on the front of my shoulders and between my shoulderblades. This is where I'm usually sore with doing a lot of chaturunga reps, but I'd expect with regular push-ups I'd be more sore in my pecs. My hands are in the right spot as per the hundredpushups website, and I'm engaging my core and not sticking my butt up. Does anyone have any ideas how to modify my form to work my pecs more?

    I wouldn't worry too much about it, especially this early in the program. Everybody's going to be starting out stronger in some muscles and weaker in others. Once you've worked up to enough reps, your delts will catch up to your pecs. But generally, the wider your hands and elbows, the more a pup emphasizes the pecs.
