Many lifters and coaches assume shoulder external rotation is good and internal rotation is bad, it's also more common to seek improvements in shoulder external rotation. In the bench press there is almost no external rotation at the shoulder joint happening. In fact there is a bias towards shoulder internal rotation. In the bench press the shoulder abducts (kind of like a delt side raise) and it slightly internally rotates throughout the ROM. If you chase external rotation you are likely to over tuck your elbows as you go down and excessively flare your elbows as you reverse the weight. We are not at all suggesting you should attempt to go to end range internal rotation in the bench press however you should not be chasing external rotation.
