track starts

Everyone seems to be doing "track starts" off the block now - one leg behind the other. How and why do you do this? I haven't been in a meet for a long time...back then everyone did the "grab start". Any instructions on doing a track start would be appreciated.

    I still use the "old" start position with 2 feet at the front edge. My reason is the 3 hip surgeries in 11 years. I feel more stable in this position. "Old guys rule"! Where is the "like" button for this post?
