Chandler, let me say that you are a very impressive woman!! Your hard work and dedication shows. It sounds that your bench isn’t what you want. It seems to me that you are strong, but with everything it is good form and being comfortable under the bar that builds the foundation. You might already know what i’m about to say, but it may help. Typically your hands should be just outside shldrs. Align yourself with eyes even with the bar.
Unrack and allow elbows to travel to like a 45 deg. angle btwn your side and straight out to the side (with the bar). Bar should come to mid part of chest.When you drive back up the should naturally arc back over your face. Another key is to exhale as you push up. Practice with a weight you can easily do 12-15 times. Then i would work up to heavier weight but make sure you feel in control of it.
Some other things that will help: Exlposive push ups, Power press (throwing the BB up in a smith machine and catching it), Push ups w/ hands on stability ball.
