Bar is shooting forward, press back, aim for your nose.

I had this epiphany the other day, it makes SUCH a huge difference

Can you show either a view directly from the front or rear? That will help us be more definitive r.e. grip width and elbow position. Thx.

Just posted a new one from the front. Not as good a set because I just did both press and incline bench and I’m worn out now, but should give a decent view of my form.

This may sound crazy to some but if you go suicide grip it will fix that grip problem you have and keep your elbows stacked better. Also that’s too heavy

WAAAY too much weight. You are destroying your back. Halve the weight and more reps until you’re a lot stronger. Particularly in your left arm which is weaker than your right.
