trouble with push-ups

[hockey22 0]

iam having trouble with push-ups with full gear on. when i do pushups with out my gear i do fine, but when iam in full gear (i play travel roller) i get a pain in my pecs. i also get the same pain in my abs. last season we had to do the same thing. my friend whos are goalie has the same problem. does anybody know what i can do to stop the pain in my pecs. and abs?

maybe the pain in ur abs is from not having ur back perfectly straight. as for pecs, maybe ur arms are too far apart

I always accounted the pain in my abs from my feet. They tend to slide and almost replicated those wheel out crawl position ab machines. I actually really like doing the pushups on ice because of the burning you can feel.

or the pain is from the fact that they are working. Keep doing them, your pecs will become stronger, and the pain will go away.
