Yes, that is definitely the tendency. This is also somewhat diagnostic of tight pecs and/or weak scapular retractors (and posterior delts).
You'll also find out if you're imbalanced to some degree in the above regard, as one side will tend to weaken more quickly, often with the DB on that side wanting to come forward. (Be careful here so you don't tweak a shoulder.)

Guilty of both. (posterior delts are pretty strong). My left shoulder has is will always be weak as far as stabilization goes (OLD OLD injury, I think we went over it once before. It's improving, but will always be an issue due to the amount of bad scar tissue int here limited proper retraction), so most free weight (especially heavy) shoulder / bench lifts are a big no no if I want to keep my joints happy. Which was why this attracted me, lighter weights, but just as good (or better) an effect. I'll keep it in mind and take it slow, make sure I'm using this one strategically and controlled. Thanks and already looking forward to taking another crack at it.
