Have slowed down the sets and reps but still nothing, any thing I can chuck in the mix?
Do the pull-up (chin-ups). You will be amazed how extensively that can recruit your Teres major, Teres minor, Infraspinatus, Latissimus dorsi, Latissimus dorsi aponeurosis, Rhomboides, and the Trapezius inferior part---all of which make up your "wings". I don't know what type of pull-up bar your gym has, but the more variations of this motion the better. I built an outdoor Total Body Weight Gym in my garden that has two types of bars that allow several variations of the pull-up. But then I had mine custom-made. I live in the the Sun now... in the tropics. I'm done with good ole blighty!

Hope that helps
