I assume you mean seated barbell press...

Always bring the bar down the the front!

If you bring it down behind your neck, your posture is wrong, and you risk back inury, and also, your shoulders are in an unusual position and are likely to get injured. Try the motion right now as you sit - in front is comfortable. Behind, you will feel the stress on your shoulders. And you never want a bent back while holding heavy weight! (ie. by putting your head down forwards)
