    This is just most likely a stabilization issue in the arms, how long have you been benching? Dumbbells can aid in brining up the stabilizer muscles.

    Also, how can I improve my bench if i've hurt my back and can't pick up heavy weight?

    Agreed it's probably a stabilization issue, it'll go away the more free weighted exercises you do.

    As for the back, try not to do movements that will compress your spine and back off for a bit. Backs are a very delicate situation.
