Common mistakes
You let the circles shrink into fast little wobbles that never take the shoulder through real range.
You shrug the shoulders up toward the ears instead of keeping them set down.
You bend the elbows, which cuts the lever short and shrinks the actual joint motion.
What to focus on
Move from the shoulder joint only — keep the ribs and torso still so the arm does all the traveling.
Start comfortable and let the circles grow a little bigger with each pass to progress the range.
