Well one of the guys I know had to get shoulder replacement surgery. But he had been shooting many many years and had shot lots and lots of rounds.
Recoil on the bench is harder than off hand. The body can't absorb the recoil as well.
Fold up a towel for your shoulder while zeroing the gun. As soon as you have zero, get off the bench and shoot from field position.
Wearing just a T-shirt was probably a mistake.
