Thanks Carson
Well, because I do the the 4-day split in two weeks, I work full time and do my training during weekends. Then its hard to tell what is more usefull or not. Ive stalled and accept it, by the end of the year I will cut down my worktime and go up in training frequency. Anyhow, Im influenced by Andy B.
I think dips is good, but they are danger, I dont go deep, and I hang in a sling of rubberband under my armpits. The CGBP I treat like a main lift and hope its usefull. The one arm cable press for triceps is instead of LTE, because I they are so awkward doing without assistance. Bb curls is for cosmetics. If I had a better cablemachine I would do pressdown with two hands. I believe I need strong triceps for the press. So its like I work the triceps from different angels with my elbows. I hope it will be enough to get my press up in the future or I will change something, I dont know what to do else, really. I considered old school pushups on offdays in the future.

Felt good with pushups. Did check my lungs today. Not so good, low capacity. Not good, but I dont have problem with it in my daily Living or training. Thats a good thing.
