Retract and internally rotate shoulder in inverted cat or just relax?

Thanks for your answer.

Never rotate or retract during shoulder flexion work.  This defeats the purpose; the focus here is on shoulder flexion and upward rotation of the scapula only.  Nothing more.

Thanks Coach! 

And what about Bridge, should the shoulder be retracted and internally rotated?

Same answer as before.

I think my shoulders naturally slightly internally rotate as I move down and I have to actively externally rotate them to keep them neutral. Is that okay?
