Are you all bench pressing? I switched to olympic press, the hip drive at the begining of the lift seems to be of great benifit. I also noticed I can hit the heavy bag with more power!
You can do also push press which is like a cheat olympic press, bend the knees and then use the legs to drive the bar up rather than just driving the hips forward and using core,torso,arms. Allows more weight to be lifted but I suppose injury risks would be higher.
