freestyle arm position and catch

Two questions: When maintaining a high elbow at catch, and when I've been dropping my elbow previously, am I right to assume that feeling the muscle opposite the bicep (back of upper arm) working more at catch and pull is a sign the catch position is better? Also, I've seen many references to "reaching over a barrel" in freestyle. Does this describe the arm above the water, under the water, or both? Thanks
