We first met Debbie Muggli at the time of her big Junior Nationals win in 1990, when we did our first video with her (and that video/DVD is still available as WPW-169). At that time, she was a very well developed 5’5” and 140 pound 26-year-old, but in the four years since then, she had added another 20 pounds of lean muscularity, as displayed in this video. After impressive wins in top amateur shows in the early 1990’s, she turned pro quickly and had many top 5 placements in the Ms. Olympia and Ms. International before retiring in the mid-90’s. The footage on this release was done in 1994 when she was in just incredible shape – highly defined, yet with impressive muscle size and shapes, with no weaknesses at all, simply one of the best women bodybuilders (and best looking) of all time, period. Footage includes strong gymwork, posing in many outfits and her interview. Video/DVD runs 2 ¼ hours.

Paula began competing in local shows in Hawaii in the late 80’s, graduating to top 10 placements in the national shows in the early 90’s and then turning pro in the mid-90’s. This work was done with her at her peak contest shape (5’2” 140 pounds) for both the WPW and RM footage. The WPW work was done in 1994 and features lots of posing after very heavy gym work, and an interview. Known for her incredible arms, chest and unreal back, the RM footage is a skit about her wanting to get on the Back Page of the WPW magazine. Paula was only 27 years old at the time of the WPW session and surely was the best Japanese-American ever, and this release features her entire WPW and RM footage, (originally released as RM-71) which contains lots of posing in all the outfits. Video/DVD runs 2 ¼ hours.
Please Note: WPW Archive Videos/DVDs were taped in the 80’s and 90’s before we started using digital equipment – these older titles were taped on professional quality video equipment and occasionally camcorder.

The Nationals is the top amateur contest of the year, and the 1994 event features the finals only. ESPN taped contests for a few years and we used two of their dubs for this release- a regular 'upfront' camera, then the same action by their roving videographer. The women shown doing their routines include Michele Ralabate, Clifta Coulter-Melnicoff, Renee Johns, Peggy Schoolcraft, Luann Garino, Carmella Cureton, Chris Bongiovanni, Tracy Gillespie, Gina Mezzaroba-Hall, Jennifer Greenbaum, Rozan Keyser, Ann-Marie Crooks, Annie Rivieccio, Terise Anderson and Ericca Kern. As mentioned, only the finals are shown, and the awards.  Video running time about 1 1/4 hours.

When Ericca Kern first appeared on the scene one thing was always heard or overheard- she could be the next Ms. Olympia, due to the striking resemblance of her physique to that of Cory Everson's- in fact, there was a facial similarity as well ! Ericca never did win the Ms. O, but did have a successful career for a few years during the late 1990's. We had two sessions with her for this video- in 1994 when she was in top contest shape at 5'7" 150 pounds, then in early 1995 when she was 160 pounds, but still very lean and hard. Her gymwork was impressive to say the least- repping out with 225 and 250 in the bench, leg pressing 1400 pounds with no wraps, nearly racking the lat pulldown machine (well over 200 pounds), etc. She then poses in many outfits during both sessions and is interviewed. Not much more can be said than she had a flawless physique topped off by facial beauty, just like a potential Ms. Olympia should be !

The original WPW Video-258 featured about 1 ½ hours of Zuzana from her 1995 session, and we have now added the 30 minutes or so of her from the original WPW-238 (1993 footage). The beauty from the Czech Republic made some very good improvements in 2 years and shows off a superior physique In her bikini and many great looking dresses. Every body part was very muscular and very defined, including huge biceps and triceps, a chiseled back, unreal side chest shots and a deep six-pack of abs. Her lower body, including very muscular thighs and great calves, matched the upper body, and it was all topped off by terrific facial beauty and great hair. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

Vicki is Greek, was living in Greece, but had a dual US citizenship which allowed her to compete in the NPC shows in the US. As far as we remember though, she only came over this one time, when she competed in the L.A. Championships in California, then made her way east for our photo/video session. At 5'5" 122 pounds she was not huge, but displayed good muscle size for her frame and rather amazing definition- particularly as she was only 22! We have known other women in their early 20's who had more size, but it was unusual to see the amount of ripped muscle on a woman her age. This included shredded thighs and good muscularity/vascularity in her upper body, which also featured very peaked biceps. We start off with repwork in the gym to get her even more pumped and defined, then she hits the shots in swimsuits and dresses and is interviewed. She was one of the most impressive women her age, too bad she didn't stay on the competitive scene longer.

Along with the Extravaganza strength and bodybuilding events, promoters Bob Bonham and Ken Kassel also ran an amateur fitness contests the same weekend, which attracted local and regional fitness women. Thirteen of the 15 women competing here faded from the scene, but two of the women are still going strong: Tracy Greenwood, in a very early show for her, has been one of the very top IFBB fitness women on the scene, and is still active going in to the 2010 season; and, Nancy Fuentes (blonde hair here), after taking about 10 years off, is now on the scene again, competing as a top Master's competitor. The entire prejudging and finals are included.    Video running time about 70 minutes.

This was our only video with Michele, though it is a great one as we had a full session with her in top contest shape (4’11” 135 pounds) and then about 15 pounds heavier in off-season shape, both in 1995 when she was at her peak. In addition, we have her stage routines at two different Jan Tana contests and two Nationals, and her footage at the Extravaganza Strength Contest. For both sessions, Michele hit the shots in many great looking outfits, showing off a mind boggling, state of the art physique. For the off-season gymwork she was pound for pound, one of the strongest women ever – how about 1100 pound leg presses for reps and a bodyweight curl for two reps- a very, very difficult lift. Michele was 24 at the time of this session and continued in bodybuilding shows for a few years (and we have three Ray Martin videos taken during that time which will be put on DVD soon), then competed in fitness shows briefly before retiring in the late 1990’s. Video/DVD runs 2 ¾ hours.

Our 1994 Tina release featured footage of her taken in 1993 and early 1994, so this release, featuring footage taken in June/July 1995, shows a marked improvement in Tina's already dramatic physique. In June, we taped her in "off-season" shape, At 5'6", she checked in at an impressive 180 pounds; the biceps check in at 17", calves 18 1/2" and 27" for her thighs. We lead off with a brief update interview, then get down to business with some heavy-duty posing segments. Then we move into the July footage, closer to her contest shape at 170 pounds. This footage leads us with some posing footage in a striped halter top, then we move into some nice gym work, featuring lots of dumbbell curls, chest work, row, leg presses and donkey calve raises (supporting two people), and after a good pump (her arms measure 18 1/2") she hits the shots in her bikini. We then return to our June footage for a few close out scenes, ending 100 minutes of posing of one of your favorite physique models of all time.

Suzan was a rising star in the mid-1990’s, placing high in the top NPC national contests, then winning the North Americans and turning pro. But, like so many others, she did not stick around long and to the best of our knowledge, was only in 1-2 IFBB pro shows. We had two photo/video sessions with her in 1995 and 1996 and both were included on this video, which is still available in its original form and is now also available on DVD. The 1995 session was done mid-year when she was in top contest shape (5’8” and 160 pounds), then in early 1996 we had her come out east for another session, off-season at 170 pounds, though she looked much bigger. She was quite strong and among the gymwork lifts was 1300-pound leg press. The posing includes hitting the shots in many swimsuits (bikini/leotard) and dresses for both sessions, showing off the “complete package” of evenly distributed muscle and glamorous looks. Also included are her stage routines at three different contests and an interview. Suzan was one of the most popular women of that time and for those of you who do not have her video, we are sure you will be pleased that you can now get the DVD. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

Judy was quite an impressive bodybuilding package considering she was a 42 year old mother of four at the time of this photo/video session in 1995. She was not in town for a contest, but you would never know that as she was in superb contest condition- she checked in at 5'2" 130 pounds but looked much larger. We lead off with repwork in the gym to get her pumped up for her posing scenes in bikini and dresses. Judy was a very top national level competitor, was on the scene for many years, and in our opinion was one of the best women to never have turned pro. She demonstrated muscle shapes, size and definition throughout, but her arms and back were particularly noteworthy- this all topped off by great blonde looks. Interview also included. We dont remember much about Lisa except that she was one of Canada's best at the time, and the Ray Martin videographer did the photo/video session. We paired her with Judy as they had many physique-model similarities including the muscle size and shapes, and blonde hair. No gymwork or interview for Lisa, but plenty of posing in several outfits.

We met both of these women at the 1995 Junior Nationals when they were in top contest shape. We then followed up with an “off-season” session with both a few months later – then, as far as we know, they disappeared from the scene a year or so later.  What we have of them is classic: in contest shape, the women were in fabulous condition – lots of muscle throughout, terrific definition and great looks and grooming. Theresa was 5’5” 153 pounds and Karen 5’6” 155 pounds in contest shape, and each added about 15-20 pounds for their off season session, where they lifted very heavy in the gym, posed in many outfits and were interviewed. In contest shape, each woman posed in three outfits so there is A LOT of great posing with two great looking women – hard to believe they were so good at the young age of only 25!! Video/DVD runs 2 ½ hours.

Michelle has been competing since 1986 and we finally caught up with her 10 years later for our first photo/video session with her. She was already a top amateur then, and owner of a very complete physique, including state-of-the-art biceps, which measured almost 16” back then. This work was done in two stages – in top contest shape then a few months later when she was slightly up in weight, though you will hardly notice. The 38-year-old works out heavy in the gym, hits the shots in several bikinis and dress items and is interviewed. At 5’3” and 140+ pounds, she has size, shape and definition, one of the top women of all time and one of the best amateurs who has not been able to turn pro. DVD runs about 2 ¾ hours.

We had several photo/video sessions with Renee (WPW and Ray Martin) during her prime competition years of the late 1990’s, and this was the first one. She was in unreal contest shape at the 1995 Nationals when her first session was taped and the ripped 5’4” 145 pounder hit the shots in several outfits. A few months later she gained 15 pounds and we did our off-season work with her and the 33 year old rocket scientist impressed us with some very heavy gymwork, much of it basedon her huge 28” thighs and 16” arms. We did contest work with Debbie at the same contest, but she had a severe injury right after the show which kept us from our off-season shooting with her, and she dropped out of the scene then. So, Debbie poses in two bikinis and two dresses, showing off a fabulous physique with great arms. Video/DVD runs 2 ¾ hours.

We have to add all the sessions up again, but aside from Melissa Coates and Michelle Ivers, who stuck around the scene longer, we did more work with Sharon than anyone else. The two main reasons were that she had been living in New Jersey for most of her career, and that she always had a different 'look', ranging from ripped at 120 pounds to incredible off-season condition, a couple of times reaching 180 pounds. We had two sessions with her in 1995 for this release- in very ripped contest shape (5'3" 140 pounds) at the time of her 1995 Jan Tana Pro contest, then a few months later when she was around 165 pounds. Sadly, the latter session would be our last with her until 12 years later, when she was trying to make her comeback. Her contest shape material here shows Sharon at her very best- she put on about 20 pounds of cut muscle since 1987, and she hits the shots in many outfits during both sessions. No gymwork this time, but her last interview is included. This was our second session with Joanne, and she gets 80 minutes- same for Sharon. The British champ was in huge and ripped shape (5'8" 180 pounds) at the time of her 1985 Ms. Olympia contest. She poses in several swimsuits/dresses- most footage with our pro equipment then good quality camcorder for her 'railroad posing scenes'. Update interview also included.

Meral was one of our favorite physique models of the 1990's, and we had many photo/video sessions with her. In fact, this title contains three different sessions taken during 1994/1995. Two of those were with Meral in top contest shape at the time of her 1994 and 1995 Jan Tana contests (and those stage routines are  included here). For the third session she was in her off-season condition (5'2" 140..she was 120 in contest shape) and this was a great look for her as she really filled out her physique, yet maintained good definition and hardness- and her physical beauty was obvious. For some odd reason, we never did gymwork with her prior to this, not even repwork. We did not think she was a particularly strong competitor, but had our eyes opened here, as for a few lifts she may have been the strongest ever, pound-for-pound. Noteworthy were her bodyweight curls, then reps with 20 pounds over her bodyweight, in addition to other impressive lifts. For all three sessions, she poses in many swimsuits and dress items and her interview is also included. This was our last work with her as she retired from the competitive scene. However, ten years later- even though not doing contests- she was in great shape and we were able to have another photo/video shoot with her, and that 1995 session is on WPW-623.

Donna was a top amateur from New York for a few years, and Andrea turned IFBB pro in 1996 after winning the Australian Championships. We met Andrea at the 1996 Jan Tana Pro contest and did our work with her there. No gymwork, but she posed in several outfits and was interviewed. She did not compete much after this, and that was too bad as she for sure had the look that the 'judges were looking for'- a high level of muscularity on a beautiful frame (5'6" 150), beautiful shapes and beauty of face and hair. We had two sessions with Donna- in ripped contest shape (5'5" 160) at the time of 1996 US Championships, then also a few weeks before that when she was already ready for her show. She did repwork in the gym in preparation for her posing scenes at a railroad property, and was interviewed. She featured excellent proportions and was leanly defined for all bodyparts which featured great arms and thighs, and in particular, fabulous calves.

Most of the women are around the age of 30 and average 5’5” 140 pounds or so, so it is always interesting to do work with women much larger, much older, or in this case – much younger. Stacey was only 23 when we did this work with her in 1995 and Summer was only 18! This is another case of two women having the potential to do well in the sport, but soon after these photo/video sessions, they faded from view. Stacey was from Kansas City, and the work with her was done at two of her national contests in 1985, and she had a very good 3rd placing in the Junior Nationals. At 5’3” 115 pounds, she had a lean and defined physique, with very good development in her upper body in particular. Stacy posed in six different outfits and was interviewed, and her footage runs a full 2 hours. At this time we can’t even remember the circumstances around the Summer Kalish session, but she was in town and we did posing with her in a bikini and two dresses, but for some reason we did not do the interview. As far as we know, she is the youngest woman (except for maybe Athena), who we ever did work with. Video/DVD runs 2 ¾ hours.

This was our first of several WPW and Ray Martin titles with Denise, with the photo/video work done with her in top contest shape in July 1996 (at her first pro show, the Jan Tana), then more with her in awesome off-season condition in November of that year. She was originally from New York, but did most of her competing after she moved to Florida. After placing high in local shows, she won the 1995 NPC Nationals Lightweight Class, enabling her to turn pro for 1996. Though only 5'2" she packed alot of muscle on her frame, with a lower body that matched her upper body. In contest shape she was a very defined 124 pounds and at her 145 pound off season weight she really filled out her physique though maintaining a good amount of definition as well. The 28 year old pushed some heavy weight in the gym, then posed in many swimsuits and dress items, and is interviewed. Also included are her stage routines at the '95 Nationals and '96 Tana. Her overall look was one of the best- a world class physique with great facial beauty and classical hairstyles- her other videos will be transferred to DVD in the future. Video/DVD runs 2 1/2 hours.

We have already mentioned Annie on this flyer for WPW-198, and it is hard to believe we waited about 6 years since that time before we did these two sessions with her in 1996- one in contest shape and the other, off-season. Since the last session with her in 1991 she had become a top national competitor, with consistent top 5-10 placements in the big shows, and continued that way for a long time after this session, finally turning pro just a few years ago!! Here, we have her hitting the shots in many outfits during both sessions, and a lot of heavy gymwork when off season, and interview. Annie is currently one of the top IFBB pros after really paying her dues for a long time.  WPW-292 runs 2 hours.

The U.S. Championships (The USA) is the second-best amateur show of the year, and we have the entire prejudging and finals for this 1996 version.

The Jan Tana Pro Bodybuilding Championships gets better every year- this 1996 event featured 23 top-name American and European IFBB pros, including: Martha Sanchez, Nikki Fuller, Maria Calo, Clifta Coulter, Denise Masino, Murianne Nicholas, Yvonne Vasquez, Yaxeni Oriquen, Carmella Cureton, Beatriz Galea, Janet Marchi, MaryEllen Warman, Tazzie Colomb, Amelia Hernandez, Birgitta Carlsson, Francesca Pettijean, Donna Logue, Yurie Ijima, Frederique Auchard, Paula Suzuki, Andrea Izard, Melissa Coates and the return of Susan Myers! The camera work is right on and all of the prejudging, finals, posedowns and awards are again included.

Ten top fitness pros competed in the 1996 Jan Tana, including Monica Brant, Maria Gonzales, Debi Lee, Daniella Morlanne, Melissa Mok, Theresa Hessler, Dana Elias, Kim Roberts, Michelle Schirra and Carmen Moreno. The women are compared in the bikini round, perform dazzling evening routines and perform one fitness/strength event- the versa-climber, which is an upright stairmaster requiring great strength and stamina.

We had two sessions with Jennifer in 1995- contest shape and off-season, and one that year with Jacque. We have 40 minutes only with Jacque- we hoped to have her back in town off-season for gymwork and more posing, but that never came off, so her footage contains a brief update interview and posing in three outfits, all in top contest shape at 5'4" 150. She was in amazing shape for a 22 year old, featuring perhaps the best legs ever for someone that young. Jennifer opens her off-season (5'4" 180!!) footage by showing off in the gym- 1000+ pound leg presses, reps with 225 for the bench, etc, then hits the bodybuilding shots in several outfits. About 6 months later in July, she is in contest shape at 150 and poses in a few more outfits, and is interviewed. Formerly a brunette, Jen went for a nice retro blonde-hair style this time, which topped off her national level physique (always known for her impressive legs) nicely. Jennifer lived in Washington, DC, and had a great competitive career, which ended soon after this taping.
