A 45-year-old member asked:

Its strenuous: Obviously pushups are a strenuous exercise where
you lift your entire body weight with your arms
If you are not that strong you may overdue it or feel
post exercise in your upper chest or shoulder
As long as it fades over 1-2 days its probably just
muscular soreness
