Back in the game. Well done.
I think I now appreciate how far you’ve come after your cancer layoff.
4 weeks really set me back.

I can picture myself doing those and it doesn’t look good.
Everybody looks stupid at first trying these. I suggest leaning over a hefty couch, bend at your waist at the top of the couch, extend arms, put hands on floor and do pushups from that inverted V position. When you get good doing that, then put yourself upside down against a door where you can place your fully extended legs (probably bend one to act as a staiblizer while you’re moving against the door) then with your arms fully extended, stand on your head. Descend a bit and then push yourself up. Descend only a very few inches at first. Aim for going as low as possible eventually. I’ve never done them extremely low (like touching forehead to floor like some guys). Just takes practice. Minimally try putting yourself upside down against a door with arms fully extended for a few sessions to get used to that position before bending arms to lower/push up body. What I read recently stated this is great accessory exercise for bench press.
