Hi Cathe and educated crowd 
I was reading another post that inquired about chest presses and Cathe gave 3 points to remember. One of the points was not to let your elbows fall lower than the bench, and although I "feel" like I am not going lower than the bench height, possibly I am and that is why I am bringing so much shoulder into my chest presses, because I feel like I'm working my shoulders as well when I do chest presses. My question is: If I were to lie on the floor rather than the bench for chest presses, would this be an effective method of keeping my shoulders from getting involved in the chest press? Same question for flies as well~would the floor give me better stabilization and prevent me from working the wrong muscle group?
any and all form pointers appreciated
