plank row to wing https://youtu.be/ZBdI5znGgtQ?t=313
Bench dip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlcuOTiyu80
Keep shoulders away from ears and do not allow them to jutt forward. Keep scapulae strongly depressed (down). Elbows should move behind you as straight back as possible. It is not necessary to try to stretch into an uncomfortable range of motion. Find your natural range. If you feel shoulder discomfort, try externally rotating the arm (opening the chest) by pointing thumbs forward or at a 45 degree angle away from your body. Keep the shoulders down and away from your ears, point your elbows back and straighten from the elbows.
1) Initially you may find that you prefer descending only to 90 degrees until your shoulder mobility improves.
2) body vertical. Don’t lift hips at the top of the dip. Keep shoulders away from ears.
3) at bottom, get shoulders as close to hands as possible.
