The first two reps of any set feel very good, since my shoulders are thrown back. However, I find that as I get to the third rep and beyond, it is very hard for me to maintain this position. My shoulders loosen up and then the last few reps feel much harder.
Any advice on how to fix this problem?

I have the same problem. The only answer has been doing exercises that make each pec work on it's own. Example: DB exercises or hammer strength iso's. You just have to experiment with the weights and only do an amount that you can keep both shoulders down. Make sure you squeeze your chest at the top. ALSO, i'm sure you have symmetrical issues as well. Try doing decline flies. they're helping me.
It sucks, but i've had to personally drop 20lbs off my db presses to help my lagging half catch up. GOOD LUCK!
