Ā There are alot of push-up variations depending on the muscles you wanna hit.
Keeping a 75 degree angle with your arms, will increase the pectoralsā engagement (decreasing the tricepās one), just like when performing a bench press, while decreasing its angle, will increase the tricepsā one (by decreasing the chest activation). Basically, the closer you get to the torso with your arms, the more youāre going to engage your triceps, while moving outwards will result in chest activation & then injury zone in case you get too wide with the angle.

Bottom line: donāt go any further than 75 degree on your arm angle: besides reducing the musclesā engagement, youāll simply end up hurting either your elbows, shoulders or wrists.. or all of them.
