I'm trying to pick two assistance exercises for triceps for my next GBR cycle. Last time I used lying cambered bar extensions and CGBP. I want to keep the CGBP and would like to add dips.
BUT, dips make my shoulders cranky and I can't do them without assistance yet (at least not with a full ROM for 12-15 reps).
Should I just not attempt the dips at all? Or do I just need to toughen up and maybe build the strength to be able to do them and my shoulders will adapt? Any way to do them that's more shoulder-friendly?

I could try that. Haven't done push ups in a long time! Would these be better than, say, a French press or a cable rope pushdown?
I was thinking parallel bar dips on the weight assist machine. I'm looking for a triceps isolation exercise. Got CGBP on one day and need something for the other upper body day.

One thing I had to do was make sure my shoulders were able to suspend my body securely on the bars. My first several reps start with minimal rom, and ramp up to somewhere below parallel.
I don't really feel it in my pecs, but there are muscles in my chest region that are bringing the arms in. It helps me to let my elbows flare, instead of angling them straight behind me.There's no rule that says the dog can't play.
