Could be your form. Try keeping your arms at a 90* angle with your body so you isolate your pecs.

How far down do you lower the bar with barbell bench?

I let it drive deep into my chest before going back up. I've found that the fear of having my sternum shattered fills me with enough fear (adrenaline) to fire the weight back off my chest!
