Nice tip…. as a “more experienced” golfer I have limited thoracic motion… working on that.
I would guess you should just go back as far as it takes to coil with lead arm relatively short.
I tried to find video but was unable.

Not much, you should feel the muscles in your back tightening or coiling. This is the moment you know when to start the downswing. If you are feeling tension in your shoulders then you could be doing the coiling incorrect. Check out this tip:

DonaldForresterI meant keeping the lead arm relatively straight not short… senior moment.
