In Response To: old school squatters (Tim)

Not specific to your question but something I recently read again. In Inside Powerlifting (1978), Terry Todd describes RDC as having a very high-bar position with a wide stance and toes quite flared. The width and degree of toe flare were described as recent changes.

Now, RDC notes in "Advanced Powerlifting Techniques":

"The lower the bar, the better your leverage is and the more the hips will be utilized. And the hips are where the power comes from. You should not squat totally upright utilizing the legs only."

After 1978, did RDC ever switch back or switch to a low bar style?
