Lie on your front on a bench with your arm hanging off. Rotate your arm so the thump points out to the side. Raise the arm out to the side keeping the rotation (so the thumb will point to the ceiling). Do this both with the arm straight out to the side and 30-45 degrees up towards your head (like a Y). Start with raising and lowering and then you can add pulses. You want to feel the muscles at the inside base of your shoulder blade pulling diagonally in and down towards your spine.
Lots of decent suggestions here, just play until you find what works for you.
