olympic lifting help!

[MsBeverlyHills]

I started doing some oly lifts today after laying off them for 2 years! The bar feels like its too far behind my head (see pic)> the guys i train with said it looks ok.

any opinions? Im actually going into a hang snatch from this point.

thanks.

Nah, you're good. The bar is aligned over your center of mass; that's good form (at least for the finishing position).

I agree you are in a good straight line. prolly just strange if you have not been doing them in a while.. keep it up .. gotta love them olys

wherever the bar sits naturaly is the right place
too many people feel like they have to "hold" the bar overhead, as if they had just locked out a military.
let it be in allignment with your arms and upper back, and just let it sit there.

If you can arch more and get those hips back...you can even take the bar back farther.

I can't get the bar back that far...but I'm working on it.
