What do do about shoulder when working out

Rest. Don't hurt it any further.
There's other chest excercises you can do.

Use dumbbells for bench, son. And do these with some light weights

if you do an exercise and it hurts, don't do it.

You could try dumbbells for bench and keep the palms facing each other. Takes the strain out of the shoulders and puts it more on the triceps.

You want to keep your elbows at 20-45 degrees when you bench.

Rest it and do light exercise to strengthen it. Ice it every couple of hours.

I had similar shoulder problems and scapula pushups really helped me. hands directly below your shoulders, and just drop your chest/upper back between your shoulder blades and lift back up. can do them from your elbows as well for a different plane.

always make time to warm up

Perhaps consult a doctor or other medical professional to assess your problem and recommend some rehabilitation programs, instead of giving a vague description of what you think it might not be and getting advice from Internet strangers.

Quit doing bench and using barbells in general. Use dumbbells, but only after you give it at least a wk or so to heal up. You should also do some strength training exercises that target the interior of the shoulder (similar to what pitchers do with rubber bands). You can do it would 5 lb plates or dumbbells as well. You should always be warming up your joints when you are doing compound movements regardless as well. I warm up my shoulder every single day Im doing anything upper body related because I have to.

Grab a pair of 5 lb plates. Hold your arms out parallel to the ground then bend at the elbow 90deg keeping your arms parellel the entire time. This is the start position. Now keep your arms fixed and rotate up 90deg as if you were a doing the robot (yes like a douche in a nightclub in the 80's). This should directly target your rotator area. You should also do arm circles with light weight and some light overhead presses to get some blood flowing to those joints.
