Based on both your comments you're both right, I am setting up too far from the bar, it's more than an inch from my shin anyway..... It's where I thought the midpoint of my foot was but that link clarified, thanks AtlantaDave. I'll bring it forward a touch next time.
Then I'll try and get my back tighter. I read in a few other places that the starting position should be uncomfortable to get into - mine isn't that, yet! I am tightening everything before the pull but obviously not getting my chest up enough.
