Does higher weight require stronger stabilisation

Did bench press today with bigger weight, And it was all wiggly not stable at all. This caused me to do less reps than intended.

Is this normal that my form suffers with weights that i am not used to ?

Depends on how long your arms are because you are building an upside down pyramid of sorts. The longer your arms, the more unstable the load can be. But also, you may not have planted your feet firmly enough

I think i was distracted because i was with someone, because i train alone most of the time.

But in general does heavier weight equals more stabilisation ?

sort of. More weight equal more force pushing you into the bench. So in that regard...yes. But if you dont retract your scapulae and poke your chest out to give yourself a flat and wide back to balance on, then you wont have a stable base

edit: plant your feet firmly and push hard like you are trying to drive your upper body off the bench. The weight will keep your body there. This will help generate energy via a kinetic chain and should help stabilize

I would assume to some degree that goes without saying. Don't know whether the relationship is linear or exponential or other but just saying.
