No, that sounds right. That video isn't a good angle to show this, either. Sorry, bad choice.

Think about this...if your shoulders are in front of the bar, then you're not pulling back. Your leverage isn't maximized. If you get in position, get your hand on the bar, you should feel like if you let go of the bar, you'd fall back on your arse.
