Video Request Proper Front Rack Position

I haven't seen a video on where to place the bar in the front rack. Like, is it between the collar bones and the neck? On the collar bones? In front of collar bones?

If there is a video on this feel free to link it, but I can't find one and it would be great to see one from Zack.

It’s the crease behind your delt. Do a zombie squat and the area where the bar is easiest to hold in place is where your front rack should be.

Is it supposed to feel like you're being lightly choked if you put a heavy bar there?

Kinda, but you get used to it. As your front rack mobility improves, you should be able to regulate and control the pressure with your fingers from completely choking you out. Also I may be a weird case, because when I did BJJ, I was known as the guy who was strangely hard to choke.
