Karen competed in local/regional fitness contests in Pennsylvania in the mid-90's, and turned pro in 1996 in time to place third in her first Ms. Olympia Fitness show. At the time she was one of most muscular fitness women, and she displays that by hitting the poses in several outfits and during her tandem gymwork with Michelle Bellini. At the time of this taping, Fitness Video-10, featuring Christine, had been deleted from catalogue, so we added almost all of that footage here. Now, the original Fitness Video-10 is back in stock and features her interview and some posing which is not on this video.

It is hard to believe this material was tape nearly 10 years ago (in 1997) and Lora is STILL not a pro as of early 2006!! She was already placing high in national shows then, after winning local Seattle, Washington, events before that, and at a contest weight of 170 pounds (5’8”) she was and is one of the largest women to hit the posing stage. This release features all of the footage taken from the 1997 WPW Video 304 and all of 1996’s footage from her original Ray Martin-95. As always, lots of great posing in many, many different outfits, an interview and an incredible strength workout in the gym, featuring among other lifts, a near 2,000 leg press. Let’s hope for a pro card for her at the 2006 Nationals!! Video/DVD runs 2 ¾ hours.

We had two sessions here for Gayle- one at the time of her big win at the 1996 Nationals, then at her first pro show, the 1997 Ms. International. Obviously, she was in top shape for both sessions- lots of size, leanness and vascularity at a hard 5'4 140 pounds. We were on location at shows both times, so no gymwork, but we have lots of posing scenes in many different swimsuits and dress items, and an interview. Gayle has continued her IFBB career in fine fashion, with many high placements in the top pro contests over the past 15 years and going into the 2010 season. We never got to know Debbie, but she was in top contest shape at the 1996 Nationals also. The Ray Martin videoman taped this posing footage, which was supposed to be finished at a later date for an RM release, but that never happened. So, we included that material here- lots of WPW-style posing in several outfits, with emphasis on her superior upper body.

We had one taping with Yolanda, in May 1996 when she was off-season, but very lean at 5'6" 160 pounds. She was a top amateur from the northwest who had an impressive, but short career as an IFBB pro. In 1996 she placed 4th in her first pro show, the Ms. International, and a stage shot from that contest was used on the cover of our WPW Sept/Oct 1996 print magazine. For this taping, Yolanda pushes some very heavy footage during her gymwork, poses in several outfits and is interviewed. To be a pro one has to be impressive throughout- as Yolanda was- but she was still noted for her magnificent arms and other upper body poses. For Heather, we taped her in very top contest shape at the 1996 Nationals, then in huge (5'5" 180) off-season shape in early 1997. She was one of the top women to come out of New York City and had an impressive career as an amateur, then as an IFBB pro. Her contest shape footage (140 pounds) features posing in several outfits, then for the follow-up session she also lifts very heavy in the gym, there is more posing and an interview.

If you think Zuzana made improvements from 1993 – 1995, you should see her here in for her 1996 session – among the most muscularity we have ever seen, including unreal arms and chiseled muscle everywhere else. Our footage of Zuzana on the original WPW-308 ran 70 minutes, so we have also included the full hour Ray Martin-131 (now deleted from stock) from 1997, to fill out 2 hours. The work was done by two different videographers, but Zuzana was in unreal shape for each session, hitting the shots in thong swimsuits and lingerie and a mini-skirt. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

We met Diana in the very early 80's when she was competing in local shows in California, but with her physique, looks and incredible posing talent (many consider her the best poser ever) it didnt take her long to win the Nationals and turn IFBB pro in the mid-80's. She became one of our favorite and most-often photographed women,and we are finally getting around to releasing some of her videos on DVD.To us, this was the ultimate Diana- she was in lean defined shape, and with facial beauty where you would have a hard time believing she was almost 50 at the time, and she was as elegant as ever. This is a pure posing tape, with Diana hitting the shots in two bikinis and three cool dresses and is interviewed. This was our last taping with her, but we plan to release all the previous videos on DVD soon, including re-releasing WPW-72 (Diana Does Delaware), WPW-116, WPW-227 (already on DVD), WPW-254 and Ray Martin-91 and RM-167. We hear she still looks the same today, so hopefully we can do some current work with her as well.  Video/DVD runs 1 1/2 hours.

Despite he impressive stage career, we think that Amy was one of the most underrated women ever- in many ways she reminds us of Debi Laszewski: a great looking blonde, a total physique (size, shape and definition) and impressive physical strength, as seen during her two off-season workouts here. We had three sessions with her in 1997- two of them were in her off-season condition (in February at 5'5" 160, then in August at 170) sandwiched around her contest shape footage (140 pounds) at the time of US Championships contest (and this stage routine, and one other, are included here). In addition to the very heavy gymwork (her 120 pound dumbbell work was the heaviest ever) and interview, Amy hits the shots in many swimsuit and dress items for all three tapings- a full 2 1/2 hours of one of the best women ever.

Christi appeared on the national bodybuiding scene in 1997, and we had two sessions with her that year- in ripped contest shape (5'2" 125) at the time of the US Championships, then in the fall when she was in New Jersey for the Extravaganza Strength contest, when she was a massive 160 pounds. We did not do gymwork with her, but included her impressive performance in the strength show. She also hit the shots in many swimsuits and dress items at both sessions, showing off size, hardness and striated definition rarely seen at that time. Interview also included for this impressive Floridian.

This 1997 footage of Debi was originally released on WPW-317 with one other woman (Jacquie Galler, whose footage is now on WPW-659). This was our first taping with Debi and we got her in both top contest shape (ripped at 5’1” and 130 pounds) and off-season (140 pounds). Debi hits all the shots in a multitude of great looking bikinis and dresses and is interviewed, with this footage running 1-½ hours. To fill out this release, we have also added her entire Ray Martin-206 Video, featuring another hour of posing in bikinis and lingerie. Though this video was released in 2001, the footage was taken in either 1997 or 1998 and she is in her lush off-season condition. This newly mastered DVD runs a full 2 ½ hours. Other titles featuring Debi include WPW-369, WPW-415, WPW-473 and WPW-660.

Debbie was one of the fitness pioneers when she began competing in the early 90's. She won a few shows, but soon became 'too muscular' for what the fitness judges were looking for, and her placements suffered. However, she remained a fan favorite for years and is still on the scene today- she can be seen as a product rep at the big contests. She is one of only two women who did work for WPW, Ray Martin and the Fitness Company (other being Christine Lakatos), and it took us until 1997 to finally catch up with her. And, she was in the best shape of her life- at 5'5" 130 pounds she was in lean muscular shape, far superior to any other fitness woman on the scene, and the traditional beauty is obvious. She was very strong in the gym (curls for 10 reps with 110 pounds, effortless chinups, etc), then it was off to a railroad property for bodybuilding-style posing in bikini and dress items. Her lower body was leanly muscled, but she was known for her chiseled (for fitness) upper body, including great arms. Her guest posing routine at the 1997 Extravaganza and an interview are also included.

Brenda and Valerie were both top amateurs on the west coast during the early-mid 90's, and by 1997, when this work was done, both had turned pro. We had one session with Brenda (in contest shape) and two with Valerie- contest shape and off-season, though you could hardly tell as she was still very defined. Valerie turned out to be a 'comet'- she was in great shape at the 1997 Jan Tana, where she placed second in a very strong field, but faded from the scene shortly after. Raganot is still competing at this time. Both women pose in bikinis and many dresses, each showing off very complete pro physiques in top condition.  Video/DVD runs 2 hours

Most of the competitors are between the ages of 25-40, so it is interesting to do work with those much younger or older. Here, both women were still teenagers- Ocean was 19 and Shana had just turned 17 for these 1998 sessions. Ocean was from Canada, and was the more muscular of the two, featuring a very nicely developed physique for her age, particularly her upper body. Ocean does gymwork, posing and is interviewed. Shana was obviously very new to this and had never posed 'bodybuilding style', as she was doing fitness shows at the time. Instead of regular gymwork, she shows off strength and agility with karate moves, splits, walking on her hands and handstand pushups as well as the physique posing. Each woman got about 80 minutes for this tape.  WPW-329 runs 2 3/4 hours.

This video features 1997 tapings with two 'fitness women' and one bodybuilder, but many would think that all were bodybuilders for sure. Laura was a top bodybuilding pro (see WPW 213 for her in leaner bodybuilding shape) then decided to enter fitness shows, but at 5'7' 165 pounds, and still with plenty of muscle size, that was a bit hard to do. Dale was an 'official' fitness competitor, but with her very impressive muscularity (triceps, great calves, etc) she could have done well in local and regional bodybuilding contests. We, and Ray Martin, did some previous work with Caron, and were supposed to do gymwork, more posing and an interview with her to add to the posing here, but she retired and that was never done. So, we do have Caron hitting the shots in several outfits, and of course, plenty of footage of her great calves in addition to the upper body shots. No gymwork for any of the three, and interview for Laura only.

We met Bethany during the summer of 1997 when she was still a teenager, and one of the most developed teenagers ever. We did the first part of this tape with her in the fall of 1997 when she was still 19, and that session includes posing in a leotard and dress, but the most impressive part was in the gym, where she did some mindboggling lifts for her age, including incline bench with 225 pounds for reps, then 250, 135 pound strict barbell curls for 6, then 155 x 1 (at a bodyweight of 5’6” 180 pounds) and leg presses with 1,000 pounds for 10 reps as her FIRST set, moving up to 1,200 for 5 easy reps, and more. In the summer of 1998, when she was 20 and in contest shape at 160 pounds, we have her posing in two more bikinis and a dress, and she is interviewed. We have other videos of her that we will transfer to DVD in the future, but this is the classic first video – probably the most muscular and strongest teenager we ever did work with. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

We had two photo/video sessions with Andrulla, and this was the first one when she was in her massive (5’2” 145 pound) and strong off-season shape. Her other work, when she was in top contest shape, is already available as WPW-391. For this session, Andrulla posed in a few outfits, but it is her gymwork that is most impressive as her maximum lifts rank up there with the best of all time (how about a 180 pound curl??). After the gymwork and posing, she is also interviewed. This title ran for 1 hour, so we added her Ray Martin-180, which was also an hour long, showing Andrulla in top contest shape in a Ray Martin “skit” type video, which includes lots of posing. She was one of the best of all time, and here you have her in her incredible off-season shape, then her very defined contest condition.

Last year’s Ray Martin tape of Laurie was very popular…and as the saying goes…”if you thought she looked good then, you should see her now…”. She has added a lot of hard, lean muscle, yet maintaining her great natural curves and fabulously groomed looks. Laurie has great calves, strongly shaped thighs, deep-etched abs and a nicely detailed and muscular back. However, most of her fans will be most impressed by the large, well-defined and very sinewy biceps and triceps, and she poses them in her bikini, leotard and three dresses (including a newly-found cinnamon colored body-suit dress, both dry and wet!). This was Laurie’s first time hitting the muscle shots, but she was such a fast learner and had such great posing stamina, that we actually had trouble taking the camera off her, resulting in well over 2 hours of footage, which we edited down to a full 2 hours. And, aside from her 15 minute interview, it is all pure posing, nearly all of it “live”, and the 5’6” 125 pounder got more muscular, and very vascular, as the taping session progressed. Running time is 2 hours.

During the late 1990s the Women’s Physique World (WPW) and Ray Martin (RM) video companies had quite a few photo/video sessions with Denise, and all of her footage is now available on DVD as well as video. This was the first video with her and features footage of her in 1998 in contest and off-season shape, and the 5’5” 135 pounder hits the shots in many different outfits, works out in the gym and is interviewed. The contest shape footage was done at the 1998 US Championships, where she was 3rd, making that one of her best contest placement. The physique is complete, with terrific size and definition everywhere, topped off by facial beauty and great hair! Pretty impressive for a 27-year old? Other videos/DVDs for Denise include WPW-373, WPW-431 and RM-189 and RM-214. Video/DVD runs 2 ½ hours.

We met her in the audience of a contest in the mid-90's when she was Sharon Dombrauskas, and a few years later she was one of the best women on the national scene. We had two full photo/video sessions with her in 1998 and they showed her at two great extremes- in fabulous off-season shape at 5'3" 175 pounds where she did some incredible lifting in the gym (20 full squats with 315 pounds, for example) then later in the year when she was ripped beyond belief (though with plenty of size and shape) for her North American contest- a terrific physique contrast and a good looking redhead to boot. She poses in all the outfits for both sessions, does the gymwork and is interviewed.  WPW-340 runs 100 minutes.

Beate was the Austrian Bodybuilding Champ and we met her for the first time at the 1998 Jan Tana, doing our photo/video work with her a bit after the show. She was in contest shape at 5'6" 160 pounds- very hard and lean, with perfect symmetry. Her 'package' included very good upper body poses topped off by stunning beauty, featuring deep blue eyes and a very attractive mane of brown hair. She does mostly repwork for her gym footage (though she went very heavy for curls), poses in swimsuits and dresses, and is interviewed. The '98 Tana was her first pro show, but as far as we know, she never came back to the US to compete again. This was our only title with her, but she is also on Ray Martin- 164.

Trish is like many of the former physique stars, coming out of nowhere to make a huge impression at a national show (in this case, the 1998 Junior Nationals, where the first part of this video was shot), competing for a couple of years, then retiring from competition way too soon. Trish was a former beauty pageant queen and when we saw the 5’7” 140 beauty at the contest, she was the one we pulled out for extensive video coverage, including posing in a bikini, thong leotard, and two dress items. Later in 1998, when she was in her off-season shape, we had her up north (from Texas, where she lived) to do some gymwork, more posing and an interview. In the gym, she showed off her strength, including awesome curls – 4 reps at 155 pounds and one rep at 170 pounds (an unreal lift for a 155 pound or so woman) and other impressive lifts. Her stage routine at the contest is also included. Beauty combined with Mexican-Spanish-American physique and strength. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.
