Use the cable machines and do some lateral rotations with little or no resistance before your chest sessions. Arm circles in the front, side and towards the back help as well.
It's hard to explain it on a forum, but lie onto a table, and let your arm hang down from the side of the table and draw tiny circles and figure 8's. There should be no tension at all in the arms because the table is holding your body up, so the only bodypart you should feel you are working on are your shoulders.
Benching places a ton of stress onto your rotator cuffs and shoulders especially if you are lifting heavy so you really have to make sure they are warmed up before you start jumping for the heavy weights.
Lift lighter and progress gradually or your shoulders are gonna take a hard hit in the long run
