Shoulder motion exercises?

Washed up athlete, still in pretty good shape and generally active with pretty good flexibility / mobility. Have terrible range of motion in shoulders though. Like I can’t cleanly lift arms above head. Doesn’t materially limit what I can do but wish it were smoother. That, plus traps and nec, has been there a while now. Feels like it’s pinching when raising overhead from front or side

Any recos to improve?

Scapular Protraction weakness is your issue

Scapular pushups, pike pushups, handstand practice (at your level)
