I use his technique for moving the knees over the toes, but I still maintain a bit of a lowbar to drive from the hips. I am nowhere near John, but at the age of 49, and the 100 kilo weight class, I hit 600lbs in competition, which is the highest squat currently for my age and weight. I am ranked #1 for the moment.

The hybrid style is what works for me. Can't do proper high bar because I'm tall and long femur gang and Rip's low bar hip draaahve kills my back. Hybrid with mid bar, medium wide stance, external toe rotation and breaking at the knees works perfectly. Adidas Powerlifts for medium heel elevation. Love these shoes.

As someone who kinda self experimented into the hybrid lowish bar Squat I would be interested in that breakdown. Started with classic low bar but it turned into good mornings, High bars were turning into question marks or good mornings. So I quit back squatting for a front squat since it didn't let me compensate for weak quads by using my glutes/hamstrings. When I came back to a low bar I was resting the bar higher, my chest more up and knees going past my toes, but I've also felt the most consistent in that position.

Hack's squat is an anomaly to me. I don't understand how a man with his built doing his sport can squat so upright. It's one thing when a weightlifter, who lives and dies by their quads, squats with a vertical torso and a lot of forward knee travel, but when it's a powerlifter with a huge deadlift it just looks wrong.

I believe John Hacks squatting style will eventually lead to a quad or ligament tear or knee problems if he doesn't change technique or takes care of himself, all that knee travel forward is dangerous especially the more weight he squats.
