Had the same prob. when I first started. The rotator exercises rock! Also put one extra day of recovery time between bench sessions for two weeks. To try to keep your gains, use a bench that will incline up ever so slightly to change the angle on the rotator. Have a spotter on the positive side of the exercise and add a little extra weight while lower your rep by 2. Once the pain goes away, go back to flat bench with the weight and spotter to give you just a little help for a couple sessions and you should be okay. DON'T stop the rotator exercises-ever. Don't tear up your rotator just to try to keep your gains-they will come back but rotators might not.
