Can't do pushups properly

[mbwood**]

Whenever I try to do pushups I always feel like I'm getting way more of a workout on my right side as opposed to my left side, especially around the armpit area. How can I fix it and do it more balanced?

make sure your hands are equal distance?

How many can you do?
I'm guessing your pushups don't look too coordinated and your leaning and wiggling all over the place and that the problem will disappear once you get to 50 or so.

Not that many, but I don't think they are that bad. Like, today, I didn't even do any exercise and when I lift both of my arms up the muscles on my right side around the armpit and shoulder always seem a lot tighter. I just did some pushups with my left hand in some books. It seemed to help but my right side still feels like the muscles are a lot tighter and did more work
