So that said you need to strengthen more than just your RC, for stability, so here is a suggestion; at the begginging of your workout warm up with the YTWL complex specified here after that do one set of 10-12 scap pushups. For the scap pushups basically you get into pushup position then just protract you scapula instead of doing a full pushup. That should be enough to help you stability and certainly helps in the warmup process.
