Does regular pushups hit the side delts? or just the front. also Im guessing pseudo planche pushups work only the front delts too

Hi Toni. the only real multijoint exercise you have to strongly target the side deltoid are wide grip handstand puhsup with arms following the shoulder blades plain and as single joint exercise the side deltoids raises.

No in terms of side delt engagement, you need upper arm abduction to engage the side delt properly.
