In the past i have been prown to tensonitis, and the routine im currently on has me benching 3 times a week which has caused them to get a bit sore.

Not sure what your using currently but fish oil, would be s good start. Some good joint supplements would be animal flex, blue star joint armour, and flexible by formutech.

Fish oil, joint armour plus a good elbow sleeve and some forearm workouts helped me

Cissus is an amazing supplement for joints. 3g daily and my joints/tendons usually feel great after 2 weeks. Need to consistently use though. When I stop, it's about a week or two and they are hurting again.

Your training needs to be adjusted. If it's mainly the pressing that is irritating the elbows, you may need to look at sequencing your exercises differently on chest day. Example of this would be to do dumbbell presses first and a lot of it with moderate to slightly heavier than moderate weight (and you adjust the intensity with things such as pause reps, slow eccentrics, etc., assuming you're using an adequate amount of weight). Adjust your rep scheme, number of sets, etc. Try different methods for intensity other than just trying to use progressive overload. Check your form. There's basically A LOT of adjustments that you should be cognizant of and fiddle around with. That's the actual real answer, I could of course take the easy way out and suggest XYZ supplements but I would essentially be lying to you and not addressing the various underlying issues.

Cissus.
Chondroitin Glucosamine MSM.
Fish Oil.

You might want to give KT tape a try. I use the above supps and KT tape on my knee and it works for me. soreness is considerably lessened. The KT tape just gives a little stability and keeps my knee locked in place.

If you're prone to elbow tendinosis, a high frequency bench program may not be for you, unless it's very low overall volume. Remember with high frequency, the daily volume and intensity does need to be lower, and with your injury history, you'll want to be even more conservative with this.

Check grip width and form (elbow flaring, etc). Make sure you're using wrist wraps, and you may want elbow sleeves too (assuming you don't compete, since elbow sleeves are outlawed in competition).

Fish oil and a cissus product (PEScience Genoflex, iForce Joint Help, etc) can help.

Ice your elbows after every workout

Cissus and being sure to have my elbows tucked helped me greatly.
