you should not have sharp pain anywhere when doing any exercise if you do, immediately stop it and find what's wrong
i am not sure about your sharp pain but i do get DOMS near armpit area when doing weighted dips and bench
looking at the part highlighted in your picture, i dont think it has got to do with shoulder, i think its more like biceps, could be some nerve gets strained all the way from forearm to biceps
mind telling us whats your grip for benchpress ?

QUOTE(zeronova @ Feb 11 2015, 12:20 AM) Worth mentioning I did "push" myself extra hard on my biceps 2 days before. For bench press typically I'll use medium overhand grip i have no exact idea but i think you pulled your tendon or something make sure when you're benching the barbell should not be at the middle of your palm, if problem still exist i dont know
