1997 NABBA Australian Championships: Men – Prejudging & Pump Room

Shot in the Melbourne Town Hall on May 25th, 1997, this DVD includes Pump Room footage of some of the best bodies in Australia in the late 90s. The Pump Room was formerly sold separately on video as GMV-259.

The event turned out to be a titanic struggle between former Mr. Australia and Masters Mr. Universe GRAEME LANCEFIELD of  Victoria, and newcomers GRANT MAYO from New South Wales, and BILL BRYSON from South Australia. Graeme had the 20″ arms and huge upper body, Bill was shredded, but Grant Mayo produced the best overall package on the day.
