Start out with some shoulder mobilization.
Shoulder Press
5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1
Remember midline stability and drive through the heels. All the work is not in the shoulders even though the hips are stable. Remember shoulder press, not push press. You can fire it up with your core even without the dip. Matt Brady knows!

Shoulders were shot by the end of this. I did the 5 minute AMRAP of burpees and pullups immediately before and had done clean and press yesterday. Time to ease up on the shoulders for a couple days.

I noticed a weird pinching in my left shoulder only on certain push presses--CURSES! I did push, not shoulder, presses. Anyway. I noticed a weird pinching. Not the first time. I'll ask TSgt Rice to see what he can see.

My instinct say to make sure your shoulders are properly mobilized and that you should check to make sure your rib cage is "locked down" i.e. that you aren't leaning back as the bar goes up. My thought is that you are rocking back and the rotation of the shoulder is the pinching. Shoulder should stay "static" through the lift. . .push press it drops but it doesn't go forward or backward. Without seeing its a guess. Hopefully he can help you.
