1988 SUPER BODY POWER CLASSIC:
PREJUDGING & SHOW 

Also on Digital Download. 

The calibre of this International Classic contest held in England was a "Super" high level - an Amateur Grand Prix contest! Most men and women in this British show had competed in the NABBA Amateur Universe event 2 weeks earlier. This was like a supercharged re-run along with some new competitors - now on DVD, showcasing many of the best amateurs in the world from the late 80s. The event was generously sponsored and promoted by Healthilife Sport and run under NABBA rules.

Sensational teenager IAN HARRISON, Junior Mr. Universe winner won the Junior title. Ian later went on to become a top IFFB professional and then a pro wrestler based in USA where he lives today. See in this new DVD how his huge but mature physique looked as a Junior back in 1988.
*See more photos at the bottom of this page.

Other stars included 1988 Mr. Britain SIMON LANCASTER, RAMSFORD SMITH, SHAUN "DINOSAUR" DAVIS, OWEN NEIL, EDDY ELLWOOD, GRAEME CORNER, JAMES CONNOR, COLLEEN YATES, SARAH STAUNTON, JULIE DENT, ROBINA HARVEY, MICHELLE LUCAS, NABBA Ms Australia KIM KNOTT and many more.

The surprise but very worthy OVERALL WINNER was a ripped and symmetrical GRAEME CORNER, see photo below, and more photos bottom of this page.
He had too much class, style and maturity on the day. After a brilliant and hard fought posedown, he managed to edge out the tall class winner EDDY ELLWOOD who later went on to win a record 5 Universe titles in a row. The fantastic short class winner also in the mix for the overall crown was ROBERT WALL. 
Sensational JAMES CONNOR took out the Masters Section with a physique that would have done well in the Open Class.

Demonstrating the massive depth of UK bodybuilding, even with top bodybuilders from around the world competing, every single class for Men & Women was won by a UK competitor. This DVD brings you the complete event from Prejudging to the Show's final awards as follows:

PREJUDGING:
The posing routines are shown for all competitors.

THE SHOW:
The posing routines of all top 3 placegetters only are shown, along with the awards to the top 3 in each class.
