The standard was so tough and the competition so fierce, that hot favourite Mr. America Dale Adrian was unable to capture his class title. Includes major stars of the 70s such as Boyer Coe, Ian Lawrence, Elias Petsas, Steve Michalik, Chester Yorton, Dale Adrian, Roy Duval, Shigeru Sugita, Ralph Kroger, Kozo Sudo, and many more champions.
Plus much more from both the Amateur and Professional classes. Shot on Super 8 film with background music added. Posing by all the top men, Amateur and Professional from Prejudging through to the final awards at the Show.
Overall Amateur Winner Ian Lawrence was in sensational condition, huge and shredded. It takes an outstanding man to win overall from Class 3. In my opinion, the man he beat for the Overall Amateur title was Steve Michalik from USA with Kozo Sudo close behind.
See my TRIBUTE & CONTEST HISTORY FOR STEVE MICHALIK here.
Professional winner BOYER COE was sensational with his near perfect symmetry, great V-shape and huge arms.
On the day after the Universe Wayne had a film shoot with Professional Class 1 winner CHESTER YORTON. We will include this segment in a future edition of Classic Collection. Chester was also in outstanding shape.
