My left now is VERY hypermobile and my bicep is somewhat bigger and my tri on that side is WAAAY bigger. I've been "lifting" for a some years (I'm 26) and have good form and all that shit, but the extra range INSIDE the elbow makes imbalace. When it comes to benching, your elbows shouldn't hurt your bench as long as you don't lock at the top. If you want to go up on your max try this-(I'm just going to use easy numbers, fill in weights that you can use) week 1- do a normal 15-12-10-8-6-3x2@100;110;120;130;140;80%maxrep week 2- close handed bench 15x3@50% maxrep far handed bench 15x3@50%maxrep push up-20xas many rounds as possible until fail week 3- dumbbell floor press (whatever wieght you can do 10 reps with)5x5 80%maxrep benchpress 2x5 d.bell floor press (same wieght)5x3 do this for 6 weeks (doing each workout, 2 weeks each) then do a good warm up (pushups are perfect) and try your max. I garuntee it goes up. GOOD LUCK! I am double jointed in both elbows, but broke my right pretty badly when I was like 8 or something and lost most of the hyper mobility in it.
