I expect the standard answer to "How far should you go?" would be to go where your elbows are at right angles and/or so that your elbows don't drop below the level of the bench that you're using.
It seems like most people that I notice go below that. (I notice the same thing with pushups.)
Today, I was just "playing around" with my husband's weight bench and found that I could press significantly more if I didn't go as deeply. (I assume that's because you use more shoulders when you go deep and they're not as strong as your chest.)
Just curious what you do.
Looking forward to STS,
Shelley
