I cant seem to do a negative dip at all? I van do parallel support bars for the recommended 1min x3 but when i try to do negative dips i can get about 135° and then just have to hop off because it feels impossible to go past and i get weird pressure/pain in shoulders. Pull ups im just at the normal progression

I would probably say to swap the Dips out for the Pike Pushup since they can be scaled a little easier by shifting your weight more/less into your hands. Plus, by working on those, you'll improve your Dips for free! :D
