Bench, unrack with locked out arms! Then your touch point should be higher: mid-upper sternum.

PC is not bad, but let's make some adjustments.
1. Shoulders in front of the bar at the launch. Knees will be a little more open, and you'll have to lat the bar back into your thigh. This should fix the backwards jumping too.
2. Racking at the top needs to be a one step all at once deal, where the bar just slams into the rack. Anterior delts will support the weight of the bar, not fingers. Which requires/allows elbows pointed forward, not downward. Leave a 2-4 fingers on the bar, but don't grip it. Optional: if you want to fiddle with grip width and weight on the delts, put the bar in the power rack and do a one inch front squat up.
