Hrm... there is a dip assist machine and I do like it. I could use that as a substitute for the triceps and maybe the lat pulls depending on how my shoulders react. I have to be careful about repetitive overhead motions due to arthritic (bursitic) shoulders - with the lat pull machine I can keep the shoulders in a "down" position, which I can't do for overhead presses or pull-ups on the assist machine.
I'm not so much a fan of the free weights. They scare me a little bit. ;^)
(The rest of my numbers, doing sets of 15 on everything: chest press at 30 and 15 for the "advanced" movement; row at 50 and 15, lat pulls at 55 (haven't added the advanced movement there); abs (sets of 20) at 70. I keep my leg numbers lower to protect my somewhat touchy knee, plus they bear the brunt of my cardio (elliptical or spinning depending on the day) - leg presses at 50, quads and hams at 20, abductors and adductors at 45.)
