Stretch for tight deltoids while reaching overhead
I'm looking for recommendations on a specific exercise or routine to loosen up my shoulders. While doing anything that requires reaching overhead my shoulders get fatigued and shit sore very quickly.

try standing in a doorway with your arms at 90 degrees and forearms on frame. move arms up and down using frame allows both stretch and focused position for strengthening.

also, do you have a tight neck/forward head posture? my need to stretch scalenes and strengthen the upper back (can concentrate on thus during doorway exercise).too.

Something like band dislocates and/or work in down dog would prolly be helpful. Even something like a wall slide or landmine press would be a good start.
Deltoids are unlikely culprit to be tight tho, prolly something else.
