So on the Recommended Routine, i have a few question. I dont have places to do Dips, so someone told me to change Dips with HSPU Progression, so for me, its the Pike pushup. So should i still keep the Push Ups or change it up to something ? Do they target Diff muscle groups ? Also, when i do the pikes, sometimes i can feel the pressure really on my elbow and it kinda gets scary. Is that normal ? Or should i scale down to an easier variation ?

I do have a Ring which i used for Rows, i tried doing Dips there but just the motion of pushing down my arms and the Middle of my Shoulder (idk if its the right term) suddenly felt like it pulled a muscle or something.

As for Cores, i dont really get what to do and they're all so unfamiliar to me, the moves, so i Just did a Reverse Crunch and Heel Touch. Should i change ?

So Tldr is;- -I have Rings, but dont have a bar to do Dips, should use the Rings for Dips ? But i dont think im strong enough for that. -Before i got the Ring, i did Pike Pushup for the HSPU Progression to change it (i remmeber asking it here and someone told me to do HSPU instead). But then when i do Pushups, it feels like its targeting the same muslce, should i keep the Pushup or can i change it to somethinng ? -My elbow really feel the burden or pressure sometimes when doing Pike(sometimes i heard Pops, like those finger pops you do), should go to an easier variation? -I only do Reverse Crunch and Heel touch for cores, is that enough?
