your chest is weak compared to your shoulders...make sure yiou are lowering to the nipples and don't let your elbows go too far below the ht of the becnh..most of all concentrate on the chest doing something which is a solid reason why benched aren't that great for actual chest building but are for overall mass...maybe use db's...i';m a bug push up man though
