NATURAL
POWER LIFTING
|
Michael Whitford raises the first place trophy
after competing in a strong man contest in Cornwall Ontario. |
| Is
it possible to be competitive in the world of power lifting, without
the use of performance enhancing drugs? According
to the man with the trophy, YES! |
|
Several years ago
"Quake" disappeared from the power lifting
scene. He injured his hamstring while training. He
was
well on his way to recovery when his car was demolished by a
transport. He has returned this year. Although the
injury to his leg still hampers him, he still set the bench
press record for his weight class. |

Mike came in the
Canadian Power Lifting scene as a junior. His impact was
felt immediately. He was nicknamed "Quake"
after he let his dead lift bar drop to the ground after a
lift, shaking the podium. The name stuck.

|
Mike refuses to wear
blast shirts and when he set the Bench press record he did it
without the use of one. |
