You see, I've been trying to do push ups and like the arms can't be a 90 degree angle, I can only do one...I think its because i have solicosis(back curve) and doing it on the improper way. So can anyone help me?

Do you mean that your arms stick out at 90 degrees or talking about bending at the elbow 90 degress?

To do correctly:

For chest muscles - Hands on floor just outside of being directly below shoulders. Bend at elbows and stick them out at 90 degrees from your body. Lower until your chest almost touches the ground. Raise.

For arms muscles - Hands on floor just outside of being directly below shoulders. Bend at elbows and keep them as close to your body as you can. Lower until your chest almost touches the ground. Raise.
