I read this article by Charles Poliquin on the T-Nation website called Achieving Structural Balance, and here is the link to it. In particular, it demonstrates the relationship between external rotations and the close grip bench, and how deficiencies in certain movements can slow progress. A great read!

Interesting article. As with the guy who commented below the article, it'd be interesting to see the same concepts applied to the lower body.
Awesome article Alberto. I'm going to have to try these out next week to get a good idea. Also have to re-read the article to see where I should be at. Perhaps others can give advice if I post it up!
Doing a lot of close grip benches fixed my form, since you have to tuck in the elbows a lot and the lift path is straighter. It has also raised my bench. And I have no shoulder pain ever. Just a thought, be patient. The modifications will be worth it.
