    No problem - I try to push up about even with the belly button at the top of the movement with palms facing the knees.

    make sure you keep your elbows out for a more effective lift.

    i like weighted dips the best when my shoulder isn't hurting. i'm not sure why but my lower chest got much better when i started doing dumbell pullovers.
