The one and only Mike Hubon. One of the Rego's at the back. Shows the inexperience of those on this forum that no one knows. The 80s and 90s were when the real lifting happened in Australia.
Correct. Go to the top of the class. He was lifted out of the racks by Bruce Waddell during the bench press at that particular competition.
Michael posted the highest total that day, even out performing the legendary Terry Lonsdale, who seemed a bit out of form that day. I think that may also have been one of Sue Jordan's last contests (may have lifted in 93?)

Yep, it certainly was.... The depth and quality of lifters in WA was excellent. Arguably, WA had the strongest team in Australia during this era. Paul and Sue Jordan, Shane Blood, Wadell, Kapica, MacGowan, Klenner, Koykka etc...
Pity the sport was nearly wiped out here in WA after the forced split... Some of the younger lifters today could really of benefited from their experience and humility.
Adam Coe was still in Victoria then.
thanks for the footage of Alan, I'll pass it on to him.
Dates have been finalised for WA IPF comps this year, as per website except the July one has moved to Sunday 28th July, as couldn't get the main hall at Belmont on a Saturday.
Possibly also a Super total comp mid December which will be a combined Olympic and Powerlifting comp, will need to be member of WWA and PA to lift in that one.
Great to have this footage - this becomes our history and tradition & without it the legends of the past slowly evaporate. Other than oral histories passed around by those who were there at the time, it seems like there's precious little historical legend for newcomers to draw upon (it's a bit rough to castigate the young blokes of today for their inexperience; most of them were rather busy being born when this was happening).
It's be nice to have some names and stories attached to these, for us newcomers now and in the years to come.
A crowd favorite on the day in masters division. I think he ended up with 260-ish on the squat.
He had been in the papers over here as a "natural lifter lifting in nature" pictured with a set of home made concrete weights at his outdoor set-up in the north west of WA. Probably hanging out with the alternative lifters brigade now?
