Your shoulders get fucked up precisely because most people don't do enough external rotation training of the shoulders.

no, a lack of external rotation strength is an indirect cause of injury for benching.
but more often, internally rotating the shoulder too much put a lot of strain on the shoulder and external rotators, which is a direct cause for a lot of bench injuries

m8 if your shoulders are internally rotating on CGPB then you're not doing it right they should stay neutral throughout the movement
