And in the 82.5 - looking fine.
I'll take it down if it causes offense. I will need to be nice to this guy if I lift this year and want a white light from him.

According to Al he was in the 75kg class and was just returning to powerlifting after a year of football.
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?)
Dudes a beast, who is he? Looks like he is being spotted by a young wladimir klitschko
Haven't been on this forum for a while. Alan mentioned it down the pit tonight...said that Macmad had told him that there was a video of him on youtube at the 1990 states. I had been pestering Alan for a copy of the states that year since it was my first one only a baby then and clean. I competed in the 100kg class with Mike Hubon. I would have been 20 years old and from what I remember did a 165kg bench (2nd comp). Always looked up to Mike and was great to share the platform with him. Me and another guy Randal Humich (also another junior) totaled the same but he got second on bw. Mike provided me a inspiration to go and bench 245kg (1996)at about 114kg (raw). Something which I brought up with him years later (around 1997) at which he said "I'm not surprised...look at the size of ya". A great champion...does anyone know his whereabouts want to get in touch.
Nice technique for a young bloke.....
That other guy you mentioned in the 100s did some good squats that day but I think you pulled ahead with the 165 bench.

Was Warren Lamp lifting in that comp?
Great to see footage of a young Al. Also good to see Damir benching with Rod the other week when I dropped in to the Pit.
