I can bench press more than I'm able to get into position. Yesterday I had to lift the barbell onto the edge of my knees and roll it along my body (including over my dick) just to get it to my chest to begin. How do I fix this?

That's basically the expression everyone around me gave me.
do you mean db bench cause that might make sense
he's trying to say the lift-off is harder than the actual movement
get a spotter to do it for you

No I mean barbell. I brought a barbell over to a workout bench.

Well there's my solution, thanks.
This is why clean and jerk are so important to a serious strength program, OP. Proper bench set-up is standing over the bench with the barbell in front of you, then clean/jerk the weight overhead. Carefully sit down on the bench, then, while holding your breath and keeping your core tight and using your hips as a hinge, lower your back onto the bench. If you keep your arms vertical, you will be in the starting position for bench when you lay all the way down.
tl:dr improve your c&j
hope this helps, love you
