Tldr:anyone know some shoulder strengthening exercises?
So, I'm doing judo, and I've hit a wall. I can do left-handed Kata guruma perfectly fine. (I'm left-handed BTW) However, when I attempt right-handed (pic related) I fuck it up. It feels like I run out of gas with my right arm as it is coming up, and I doing have the power to lift and place my opponents body in the correct position.
Does anyone know of exercises that will build strength for that particular motion?

you can touch the leg in Judo again?

With a right hand kata guruma, your right hand should only come up to assist the actual final throw. Getting your opponent in the correct position is done by getting yourself in the correct position: unbalance and pull with left hand as you shoot in. The function of your right hand is to secure and hold the leg, not to lift your opponent.

I totally get that, and my left-handed kata guruma is fine, but on right i don't feel stable after the wheel motion has started. In fact, right arm and right leg feel like they are weak in that particular motion, which is why I'm wondering if there is something I can do to add strength and stability during that.

If it's not muscular imbalance, it could just be a psychological thing.

I'm inclined to agree with this. There's probably a few details you're getting wrong. A few centimetres can make all the difference.
Bump. Judo threads are good threads.

Google how to do 'Power Cleans and Press', hit a gym and do this on top of your weekly training:
>5x5 for a month
>8x3 for a month
>5/4/3/2/1 (with increasing weight until you hit your max) and then 4 more reps with max. Stay at the same weight and add another max rep per session until you are doing 5/4/3/2/10x1 before adding 2.5kg and starting again.
>3xweek, rest a minimum of 2min between sets, this will take a max of 25 minutes, start with the bar, and add weight when you hit 5 or 3. Can only do 3 or 2 reps next session? Stick at that weight until you hit 5/3.
This is an old school, pre steroid, basic template for the C&Press. Do this for a year and when you're pressing 70+kg overhead you'll have no trouble doing anything as an amateur.

Tldr: my shoulder is fucked
A dojo partner referred me to an orthopedic doctor and after x-rays determined that there is bone on bone contact in my shoulder during the last part of the motion.
The doctor has given me a set of exercises that he calls brachiating exercises.
