Warming up for Bench Press

Hello,

Usually I perform the Bench press 1st or 2nd in my routine when I am doing a chest day. My question is this, I am always very stiff for the first couple of sets, I was looking for some suggestions on how to loosen up for the bench press, such as suggested stretches, light weight suggestions to loosen up? What are your thoughts?

Thanks all

what i do to warm up is first bench the bar with 0 weights on it just to get my body the feel of benching, then i put a medium amount of weight to warm up the muscles, then i start my benching.
