Its bad form im pretty sure

especially on bench you need to make sure ur arms are in the correct position
when i started out i used to have insane shoulder pain on bench but now its mostly subsided

not to say its not there but its very minimal now

Make sure to do machines instead of free weights, for better stability and also don't let your elbows flare too far back during presses

I did rotator cuff warm ups 3 times but didn’t work any of them
i mean like actually trining them i used to have major problems on my right shoulder but after actually training them its fixed.

I did this exercise:
Rotator Cuff and Shoulder Conditioning Program - OrthoInfo ...


but instead of being laid on the floor like a retard id use a cable.

if its on your dominate hand side that means the weight isnt being distrubted evenly and you need to be more mindful when doing the motion

How many sets? Do you think everday would be even better?
i just did 3 sets at a light weight but enough for stimulation and if you aren't sore then i dont see why not

How many reps and sets do you do per exercise?

If you are doing anything more than 10 reps with 3 sets and to failure on all 3 sets then you are overtraining and it's not optimal for hypertrophy.

Im gonna build a good warm up when i get home then try it for 4-5 days a week while doing machine workouts instead of free weight, if nothing changes then i will quit the gym and just accept that im not meant for this.

I do 2x failure, but i cant even do my first rep before having to put down the weight to avoid the intense pain

So you obviously have an injury then, rotator cuff strain or shoulder impingement where a tendon inside your shoulder swells and rubs against tissue or bone.

Going to the gym and pushing through it is only re-aggravating the injury. In order to heal and recover to go back to the gym, you have to rest. To help you can also go to a physiotherapist or sports med doc who will help you, otherwise it's rest, then progress by doing small stretches ect, and then once healed go back to the gym starting with light to heavy
