This is our third video with Michele and the second time we got her in very voluptuous off-season shape, checking in at a robust 140 pounds at 5’1”. When in contest shape, Michele has placed very high in national contests, including a recent 6th in the USA and 7th in the Nationals, and will be doing that latter show again in 2004. We did gymwork with her for her previous off-season tape, so this time we concentrated on lots of posing, not only in many great looking swimsuits and dresses, but also in her natural blonde hair and in a very attractive brunette hairpiece. We had a nice May 2004 afternoon, featuring great lighting and a beautiful model featuring some of the best muscle shapes ever, including huge arms and thighs, and nicely defined back, triceps and calves for being off-season. Michele is one of the most beautiful physique models we ever did work with – hard to believe she’s almost 40!

Kris is a newcomer to competitive bodybuilding, having only competed in a couple of local shows in her home state of Florida. At an impressive 5’6” and 175 pounds, she was in very strong off-season shape, and the young (25) Kris pounded some heavy iron during the gymwork, including 5 easy reps with 1200 pounds for the leg press, a 245 pound bench, and perhaps the most impressive, strict curls with 135 pounds for several reps. Kris was in “traditional off-season shape” for this Spring 2004 taping, meaning lots of size everywhere but not ripped. The video features Kris hitting the shots in a bikini, two dresses, the impressive gymwork and interview.

Dina competed in a local (New York City) bodybuilding contest in 1989, and then decided to take the ‘90’s off. She resurfaced in 2004 as a fitness/figure contestant, but with her strong background, she is one of the more muscular figure women, featuring a very defined upper body (very good biceps, chest, back) and super abs, and at 5’3” and 135 pounds she is not small. Dina also has an extensive background in dance, and was a gymnast, which helps her in her fitness routines. Can you believe this mother of two is 35 years old? This video contains bodybuilding style posing in her bikini and four great looking dresses, gymwork and an interview.

We met Gina at the 2003 Nationals when we did work with her in contest shape. We had seen some photos of her in her “huge off season shape” and directed her to come to our next photo/video session as big as she could be, which turned out to be one of the largest women height (5’5”) per weight (190+) ever. This was a TRUE off-season shooting – she was not very defined, but that was not the idea, instead, she shows off huge 17” arms and 28” thighs in a variety of posing outfits and in the gym, where she did some very strong lifts, including one arm chins and easy 1100 pound leg presses for 20 reps. Racking the lat pull down machine and very heavy incline benching was not too shabby either…Gina hits the shots in a two piece (bikini top, very short bottom) and three other dresses in perfect outdoor lighting, and is interviewed. Tape/DVD runs 100 minutes.

Our first photo/video session with Marja was at the Jan Tana in 2000, and to the best of our knowledge, we have done more work with her than any other woman during that span – for good reason, as many consider her the best woman bodybuilder in terms of muscle size, shape and definition, ever. She had just competed in the 2004 Night of Champions and we got her the next day in top shape, so we open up with repwork in the gym to get her pumped up. Then Marja hits the poses in her bikini and several other dress outfits showing off her ripped 5’2” 140+ pound physique in perfect outdoor lighting, and then we have an update interview. Tape/DVD runs 100 minutes.

Shawna is a great newcomer who was spotted for the first time at the 2004 California Championships, where she won her class – she had previously competed in only a few local northern California contests. She stood out from the other contestants for several reasons, but one for sure is her height (5’10”) and though she weighs only 140 pounds in her contest shape here, she looks much bigger. Since she was in contest shape, west coast videographer Tony Duffy (one of his best shootings) did rep work with her in the gym, and then she shows off her 15” arms in a variety of outfits in different backdrops (playing drums, swinging a bat, etc). The tape ends with a brief interview. Tape/DVD runs 80 minutes.

Kylie has never competed in a bodybuilding show – we were introduced to her by a fan, and we were impressed by her size as we have not done that much work withy women 5’1” who weight 165 pounds – true off-season weight!! Obviously, this was her photo/video shoot, but was a quick learner and was hitting the shots like a pro after awhile, and how may women can you name who have 16” biceps and 28” thighs on a woman that short?? The gymwork included some strong lifts (particularly chins, 1000 pound leg presses, etc), followed by posing in her two-piece and three dress items, and an interview. Video/DVD runs 100 minutes.

Carina is a national caliber fitness/figure woman from Pennsylvania. We met her at the 2004 Jr. USA contest and did the photo/video work with her in Spring 2004. The young looking (hard to believe she’s 35!?) Carina started training when she was a thin 85 pounds and has now added 20 pounds of lean and defined muscle to her 5’1” frame. She was in contest shape, so we did a “rep” gym workout, followed by bodybuilding-style posing in her bikini and two dresses, followed by her interview. Video/DVD runs 1-½ hours.

This was our second photo/video session with Lisa and she appears to have added a lot of size since last year – in many poses she reminds us a lot of early Sharon Marvel facially and to some extent the shape of her body. She was getting ready for the 2004 California Championships and was in near contest shape, showing good definition and size, particularly for her upper body (great biceps) shots. West Coast video man Tony Duffy did a very nice job with interesting outdoor and indoor scene locations for Lisa’s posing scenes, which includes bikinis, lingerie and dresses. Also included is repwork in the gym to get her pumped up and an update interview.  One of the most attractive physique models on the scene today. Video/DVD runs 1-½ hours.

We did our first photo/video session with Annie last winter when she was in her off-season shape – here; we got her in top contest shape just before and at the US Championships. Despite being in top defined shape, at 5’3” 150 pounds she still carried a lot of muscle size throughout her physique, though a special nod goes to her very impressive upper body. When we do gymwork withy women in contest shape, we normally do a “rep” workout to get them pumped up for the posing-and that is what we did here-she knocks off and easy 20 chins, does other gym repwork, then poses in her bikini and four other nice dress outfits. We close with an update interview. Tape/DVD runs about 100 minutes.

We continue to tape and photograph the best and best looking figure and fitness women on the scene today. At 5’3” and 120 pounds, Amber shows off a leanly defined figure look, with terrific definition in both her upper and lower body. We met her at the 2003 Jr. USA when she was a brunette, but now sports beautiful blonde hair with killer good looks. She is 30 years old and is from Houston. We open with repwork in the gym, and she also is a great chinner, easily doing 15 before moving on to more gymwork, then posing bodybuilding style in her bikini and tow beautiful dresses. An interview closes out the video. Tape/DVD runs about 80 minutes.

We have had “photos only” sessions with Gerri before, but this time we got her for both photos and video in top contest shape at the 2004 US Championships. She competed in 1989, then took a long time off, starting to do shows again a few years ago. At 5’4” and a contest shape 150lbs, she has muscle size (arms are almost 16”, thighs 24”) AND definition – and it is hard to believe she is 44 years of age!! Gerri is well developed all over, but a special nod to her incredible upper body development, featuring terrific biceps, back, chest, triceps and abs. She poses in a bikini and three dresses and is interviewed. We can’t do gymwork when we videotape at contests, but she has informed us that she has incredible strength (can do a strict bodyweight curl and almost 30 chins, etc) and we will do more with her off-season this winter. We have added Melinda McNabb’s footage from her 1997 taping, which is on WPW-318. Melinda is just about the same size as Gerri, was in top contest shape, and hits all the shots in bikinis and dresses, and is interviewed. Tape/DVD runs almost 2 hours.

Den won the 2003 Junior Nationals, and we did a photo/video shoot with her at that event, in top contest shape. Here, we got her in her VERY strong off-season shape (5’2” 155 pounds), yet she was still defined enough to show abs!! Dena is 33 years old and is a chiropractor in St. Louis. The gymwork is some of the best we ever taped, as she is one of the strongest women ever-how about 20 pullups, then 20 chins right away, racking the lat pulldown and tricep machines (with extra plates), benching 275 for 6, bodyweight curls for reps, and maybe most impressively, 15 easy reps with 1500 pounds for leg presses. We think she could have done 2000, but she did not want to risk injury, as she is getting ready for the Nationals. After the gymwork, Dena hits the shots in a bikini and two dresses, and is interviewed. Tape/DVD runs about 1-½ hours.

Vicki has been competing for a long time (since 1984!), and mainly on the east coast, but we really noticed her for the first time at the time of her big win in the 2004 Team Universe contest, which has allowed her to turn pro. In bodybuilding, nice things can truly come in smaller packages, and at 5’2” and 113 pounds in top shape Vicki shows she can hang with the bigger women – she as excellent muscle size and shape with terrific definition throughout, all topped off by\very glamorous facial beauty and a beautiful retro blonde hair style – and we doubt you would believe that she is 44 years old?!? She was in top contest shape here so we did a rep-oriented workout in the gym to get her pumped up, then she poses in a bikini and three hot looking dress outfits…she is so appealing and photogenic, and so defined, that we were able to get about 1 ½ hours of her posing (and another 25 minutes for interview) - pretty good stamina for someone who was dieting for so long. Tape/DVD runs almost 2 hours.

If our memory serves us well, this is our 4th session with Colette. Our first session was with her in 1994 (and still available on WPW-245) and we had two others over the past 2 years (also still available). It is hard to get Colette in “true” off-season shape (meaning big and smooth) as even at 5’1” and 160 pounds here, she is almost defined enough to be in a contest, and how many women do you know who have 17” biceps, highly peaked?? In addition, her lower body is as impressive as the upper body, with huge and defined thighs and calves – she continues to be one of the most muscular women on the scene today. After the gymwork, we went outside in perfect lighting and Colette poses in her bikini and three other great looking dress-type outfits, enhancing each incredible body part as she hits the shots. Tape/DVD runs 100 minutes.

There are quite a few women now who can bench more than 300 pounds..but how many are 53 years old?? None. As Kelly became the first woman ever to bench that (she has now done 320 and says she will do 350 before the end of the year) as a 50+ year old. Not only is benching 300+ pounds tough, try doing it at her bodyweight – 150 pounds at the time, at 5’5”. Kelly has also been a very top bodybuilder for many years (starting in 1982) and won the 1995 Junior USA and was 4th in the USA in 2001, when we did our first video with her (still available). For this session, Kelly was in her off-season at the 155-pound weight, and works up to a 315-pound bench in the gym, followed by some repwork (14 easy chins), then poses in a couple bikinis and a few dresses. We already knew she had a terrific upper body (16” biceps) but since she has been power lifting her back and chest are unreal, and she even had some abs at this bodyweight. Kelly is one of a kind – a good-looking woman in her 50’s who can bench more than double her bodyweight and is a top bodybuilder as well. Tape/DVD runs 100 minutes.

We had our first photo/video session with Sheila in contest shape at the 2003 Nationals. We were going to do an “off-season” shooting this time but we hope you will not be too disappointed that Sheila was again in very near contest shape, but with another 10 pounds of muscle added to her 5’7” frame. She was 155 pounds in contest shape last year, and for this October 2004 session she checked in at a lean and defined 165 pounds. Sheila was 6th in her class in the 2003 Nationals, but the 30 year old has taken 2004 off and will compete again in 2005. For this session, we have lots of repwork in the gym to get her pumped up, then she poses in a bikini and dresses outside on a beautiful fall day, and the tape closes out with an interview. Tape/DVD runs 100 minutes.

The Ray Martin Company has done work with Debbie, but this is the first time our regular WPW videographer took his camera to Debbie, and she is better than ever. This 38-year-old hair stylist has been competing since 1997 and was 3rd in her lightweight class in the USA in 2004, where this work was done. She was obviously in top contest shape, featuring terrific development all over, but her biceps really are a standout body part. This new material features Debbie in the gym, then posing in her bikini and dresses and an update interview, running 70 minutes of new material. To fill out the video/DVD to two hours, we selected the best scenes taken from Ray Martin-220 (from 2002), featuring lots of posing in four different lingerie outfits. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

We met Helena Jenkins at the 2004 Jr. USA and did some contest shape work with her there. For this photo/video session, Helena was in her smoother off-season shape at 5’4” 144 pounds, 10 pounds over last time. She is lightly muscled, but with very good biceps and killer blonde looks. Helena, who is 37 years old, starts off with some re gymwork and does some strong 100 pound curls and heavy chest machine work, then proceeds to go about 10 minutes in a row on the punching bag and heavy bag, as she is a talented kick-boxer. She then hits the shots in a bikini, dress and lingerie, and an update interview. This new material of Helena runs about 80 minutes, and to fill out the video/DVD we have included 40 minutes of posing of a “similar physique model” – Lucy Wightman, whose footage was originally on WPW-245, from 1994. From that video we have included all the posing footage (in two dresses and bikini) and Lucy’s interview. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

We did our first photo/video session with Marja a few years ago and have done several titles with her since, as she has become one of your all time favorites – based on hugely developed muscularity throughout her physique, good looks and nicely groomed blonde hair. Here, Marja was in great shape as always, but we did this new work with her as a brunette for a different “look”. We divided the gymwork into many small scenes, dubbing different upbeat music for each. After the gym, Marja hits her legendary upper body (best biceps ever?) and lower body shots in a bikini, hot pants/halter and some lingerie, finishing with an interview with a different photographer. The new material runs about an hour, so as bonus footage, we also included the entire Ray Martin-224 from 2002, which features lots of posing in great shape as a blonde. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

Emery just won her class at the 2004 Nationals, quite an accomplishment for anyone, not to mention for a woman who was morbidly obese just a few years ago!! At age 40, she shows terrific muscle size and definition and beautiful blonde good looks. Her legs are very well developed and defined, but a special nod goes to her very dense and defined upper body – particularly her triceps, biceps, back and chest. Emery lives in California so we had our west coast team led by Tony Duffy do the work, and this is probably Tony’s best video effort – perfect lighting and lots of full length and close up posing in dresses and bikinis, and lots of repwork in the gym to get her pumped up. Emery’s first show was in 2001, so to turn IFBB pro so soon is quite a feat!! Video/DVD runs 1-½ hours.

The fitness women continue to get more and more chiseled, and Amanda is a perfect example. At 5’, 114 pounds she was in top shape at the recent 2004 Nationals, and she is one of the most muscular fitness women we have done work with so far. In fact, with probably little effort, she could so very well as a lightweight bodybuilder as her biceps, back, etc are as good or better than many lightweights. You have seen our physique models walk into a scene, well Amanda walks on HER HANDS all the way down a long hall for her first posing scene, and the former gymnast shows off some other very difficult strength moves such as straddles. This attractive physique model is 33 years old but could easily pass for 20! This new material was done at a contest, so we could not do gymwork, resulting in 50 minutes for Amanda – as Bonus Footage, we are able to fit almost all of Mary Yockey’s video footage from 1999 (taken from WPW-353) on this release. Mary is similar to Amanda, featuring a very well defined fitness physique and Mary also does handstands, one arm pushups, etc. Mary poses in bikini, dresses and is interviewed, as is Amanda. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

Mindi O’Brien has been competing in amateur fitness contests in Canada for several years, winning the overall Canadian title in 2004, thus becoming an IFBB pro. There has not been much on her in the press yet, but due to a few shots out there she has quite a following as she has become known as one of the most muscular fitness women ever, and might have the best biceps for any figure/fitness woman to date. In the gym, it was mostly repwork to get her pumped up, but she is a very strong chinner and can also bench press her 135 pound bodyweight (she is 5’4”) for MANY reps – more than many of the big bodybuilders who have been in the strength shows. She then hits the shots bodybuilding style (terrific back, great calves, etc) in a bikini and two dresses, and is interviewed. Combining her physique, unreal looks and friendly personality, all we can say if she can’t make it in the sport, no one can. Video/DVD runs 100 minutes.

Yes, you read this correctly – after a 10-year absence from competing, Meral is back on the scene as a figure contestant. Don’t let that fool you, as the former bodybuilder is still chiseled, particularly in the upper body, and at 5’2” and 120 pounds, she still shows good muscle size and hardness, and at 42 years old she looks like a very girlish 20! Meral hits the shots in a bikini and two dress items, then talks about her comeback from cancer and her plans for the future during her interview. This new material runs 80 minutes, so since we had some room left, we have added our very first video session with her done at the 1991 Junior Nationals (taken from WPW-229), and she poses in four more outfits and is interviewed then as well. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

We have done several sessions with Elena over the past few years, both in contest and off-season shape. Here, she is in her strong off-season shape, and at 155-pounds, she boasts 16” arms. She is still climbing the competitive ladder as well, finishing 3rd in the US Championships in 2003 and 2nd in a very tough Nations in 2004. We did something new for the gymwork – actually allowing her (tandem with Heather Lee) to do their actual work out…may fast reps with heavy weights. This followed by posing in bikini and two dress items and her interview. Video/DVD runs 80 minutes.

We have done several sessions with Heather, beginning about four years ago when she was really just starting out in fitness at age 21. She was already WAY too muscular for fitness and has been hitting the weights very hard since. As a result she not only has become a force in bodybuilding (2nd place in US Championships in 2003, and top 10 2004 Nationals) but is now also an elite power lifter. We allow Heather to do the workout she normally does tandem with Elena Seiple (the same workout is on Elena’s video WPW-624) where the two women do chins, curls, legwork, etc, in a fast reps. After that, Heather hits the shots in this off-season (155-pounds) shape in her bikini and two dress items, including very tight jeans / halter. This footage was done in July 2004, and we also did contest shape footage of Heather in July 2003 which has been included as well. There is she posing in a bikini and two dresses when in very hard and ripped shape. Interview also included. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

This is our third video release for Dena, and we have her again in her strong off-season shape, and this time as a “blonde” instead of her normal brown hair color. This video was done in a somewhat “Ray Martin” fashion, as for one hour Dena hits the shots in several great looking lingerie outfits – no gymwork or interview – just lots of great physique posing. Since this new material is one hour, and our first video of Dena (WPW-544) was also one hour, we are adding that footage, taken in 2003 in contest shape to this new video. WPW-544 had not been available on DVD so for DVD buyers you get two distinctly different looks at Dena for the price of one – off-season as a blonde, and in very defined contest shape as a brunette. DVD/Video runs 2 hours.

Though Kathryn has been competing since 1981 (!!!), we didn’t do video work with her until two years ago, when she was in lush off-season shape and had blonde hair. Here, we have her in top contest shape, as the 45 year old was competing in the North American Contest in September 2004. At 5’4”, she was a ripped 140 pounds, featuring terrific definition throughout, with a special nod going to her calves (some of the best in the sport) and incredible forearms!! We did repwork in the gym to get her pumped up for her posing in a bikini and four great looking dress items, and an interview. DVD/Video runs 1-½ hours.

Everyone enjoys “physiques in other sports”, and Chevelle is one of those sport’s top boxers. WPW West Coast video man Tony Duffy is friends with her, and he did a great job here on an interesting subject. The only “gym” footage is some very easy chins, then she gets into “sparring” with two different partners (she hits their gloves), and right after 10 minutes of that – she goes right into a heavy bag and punching back workout. Keep in mind she is NOT a bodybuilder, but she hits the shots in shorts / bikini tops and one other outfit, showing off her well developed upper body – particularly her arms and back. An interview is included, then what will probably be the best part for boxing fans – a title match against Melissa Del Valle, taped by a professional, featuring 35 minutes of non-stop action – an incredible number of punches thrown and landing!! DVD/Video runs 100 minutes.

Rhonda is from Washington State and has been competing primarily in regional shows in the northwest. In the two national contests she has done (Team Universe, twice) she has placed in the top five both times and will be gearing up for that show again in 2005 when we plan to do work with her in contest shape. Here, though, she is in “true” off-season shape – at 5’5” she checked in at a very lush 165 pounds, featuring 16” biceps and 26” thighs, and with some considerable strength in several lifts in the gym (racking the lat and tricep machines, curling over 100 pounds, heavy squats…). The 29 year old also does some repwork in the gym, followed by posing in bikini, three dress items and an interview. At this weight her physique is shapely, and her arms, chest and back are the best body parts – all topped off by facial beauty and a full mane of reddish brown hair – a perfect “off-season” photo/video session. Photo/DVD runs 100 minutes.

Most fans of the sport, and in particular our WPW fans, are well aware of Sheila Bleck – the two-time WPW Magazine cover woman has been a fan favorite ever since we met her competing in regional shows in the northwest. More recently, she has placed high in national shows and we continue to have photo/video sessions with one of the best women on the scene today. Sheila was not preparing for a contest here, but most would consider her in contest shape as her upper body and calves are chiseled, and even her thighs were very defined. We have doe a lot of work with her already in our regular “WPW mode”, so we wanted to fill our a two hour offering and thought Linda McLaughlin would be a good physique match, and her fully Ray Martin-185 fits perfectly here. Linda has super calves and abs in particular – there is a Ray Martin “skit”, and lots of posing in several outfits. DVD/Video runs 2 hours.

Colette is fast becoming one of our most photographed/videotaped physique models ever, closing in on women such as Sharon Marvel and Melissa Coates. We have done work with her in contests shape and off-season, and here it is the latter, as she was in big and strong shape in preparation for her Raye Hollit Strength Show. We did not get to tape Raye’s show, so we had our own “strength demonstration” with Colette, and she moved a few tons of iron in the gym.  At 5’5” and 160 pounds, she did almost 30 chins and benched her bodyweight for the same number of reps. After several other strength/endurance lifts, she asked us if she could knock off some dips, doing nearly 50 of those. After that, she hit the shots in her bikini and three dress items and was interviewed. The 30 year old had quite a year in 2004 – winning her class or overall in three top shows (Team Universe, North Americans and Amateur Worlds) as well as winning Raye’s strength show. Colette will be getting ripped this summer for her first pro contest and we will check back with her then! Video/DVD runs 1-½ hours.

Deniz is not well known yet, but she should have a bunch of fans soon. At 5’5” and 175 pounds she was in her “off-season” shape, but you will hardly believe that as she was very lean and defined, and particularly so for her lower body, which is unusual for a woman at the heavier weight. We found out afterwards that she knows Colette Nelson, so we challenged Deniz to a similar strength/endurance workout similar to the one Colette did recently and the results were pretty close! After the heavy lifts we suggested, Deniz spotted her favorite station – a vertical leg press and proceeds to work up to 10 easy reps with 600 pounds – it is clear she could have done 1000 pounds here if fresh. Then Denis hit the shots (this was her first photo shoot) in a bikini and three dress outfits, showing off huge arms and back, and a very lean and defined lower body, including some of the best calves we have ever seen. Deniz won the Maryland State in 1998, had a top-five in a Junior USA and the 41 year old also won the Masters Nationals. She will be dieting for the USA in 2005 and we will do more with her then. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

This is our second release for this popular blonde figure competitor and we had a little fun with her, taking photos of her with her regular blonde hair (as Mindi) and in a beautiful blonde hairpiece (as sister Mandy). Either case, the beautiful 5’4” 135 pounder was in terrific lean and defined shape – she is best known for her very muscular (for figure) upper body, and particularly her biceps, but her lower body was also very defined – lots of nice posing In her bikini and several dresses. Mindi’s footage ran a bit over an hour, so we again decided to “fill out” the 2 hours by re-releasing the beautiful footage we did with Alyssa Ferrari in 1995 (taken from WPW-275, which we will delete from stock now). Alyssa is virtually the same size at 5’5” 135 pounds, and her muscularity and overall appeal is easily in the same league as Mindi’s. All the footage was used – posing in thong bikini and dresses and an interview. Bring on more fitness and figure women like these two!! Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

Yvonne has been competing for almost 20 years, but we didn’t become aware of her until recently, setting up a shooting with her in top contest shape (5’3”, 140 pounds) at the recent 2005 Jr. USA contest, where she won her heavyweight class. She also won the 2003 Masters Nationals, and if you can believe it, the Wisconsin resident is 44 years of age with four children!!! She was in great-defined shape, with a special nod to her fantastic upper body, featuring 16” biceps and terrific triceps, back and chest shots. She hits the shots in a bikini and three other dress outfits, and is interviewed – no gymwork as this was done at the contest meet hotel. We have about 70 minutes with Yvonne, and to fill out a two hour release, we are also including all of COLLEEN FISHER’s footage from WPW-363 – it is a great match as Colleen was in top contest shape, was also in her 40’s at the time of the session in 1998 and was also a Masters National Champ – two great looking women in their mid-forties!! Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

This was our third full photo/video session with Annie, and the second one in her awesome off-season shape at 5’3” and 175 pounds. She had a good competition year in 2004 – placing in the top 5 at both the Jr. Nationals and the US Championships, but for this taping she was in her very big and strong off-season shape. The gymwork is impressive, featuring a 285 bench for reps and 400 pound shrugs for 10, among other lifts. After that, she hits the bodybuilding shots in a thong leotard and two dress items, showing off a very powerful physique, including 16” biceps and 26” thighs, with surprising hardness for that weight. Video/DVD runs 80 minutes.

Marja continues to be a fan favorite, and while we continue to do more and more photo/video work with her as she visits American a few times per year and is always in great shape, even when not in a show. Here, she had just competed in the 2004 Ms. Olympia (3rd in her class) and was in top shape at 5’2” and 140 pounds. Marja starts with strength and repwork in the gym, followed by posing in a bikini and two dresses, showing off her legendary biceps, back, triceps, chest, thighs, and claves (that about covers it??), a tireless poser, hitting shot after shot. Updated interview included. Video/DVD runs 1-½ hours.

Shannon is a new face on the east coast amateur bodybuilding scene, and the young 25 year old has recently won several local/regional shows in the Pittsburgh area, where she is from. Though a newcomer at competitive bodybuilding, she trains very heavy over the winters and is quite strong for her age and size (5’4” and 135 pounds for this session), and during the gymwork she racked the lat pull down machine (adding 6 additional plates to the rack) and benched her bodyweight for 16 reps. If those lifts were not impressive enough, she also curled 100 pounds for 10 reps then did a very difficult lift – a bodyweight curl of 135, all this in near-contest shape. After the gymwork, Shannon hit the shots in her bikini and two dress items (her first photo session ever) and is interviewed. Video/DVD runs 80 minutes.

We met Corry at the recent Jr. USA, where she won her class in the Figure event and was 3rd in her class for the Fitness event. We did not do work with her at the show, opting for a full session with her at her home in northern Virginia, where we did lots of re gymwork (she can do a lot of chins, etc) then bodybuilding style posing in two bikinis and two dress items (this was her first time posing this way). Corry is gently muscled, with great abs and good definition in her upper body and the beautiful 27 year old actually looks about 10 years younger. At 5’4” and 120 pounds she was still in her lean contest shape, yet had a great amount of posing stamina on a very hot day, enabling us to get a full two hours with her, including the interview. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

We did a video with Gerri in 2004 in top contest shape (and is available on WPW-611) and we were looking forward to this session with her in her strong off-season condition (5’4”, 160 pounds). The 45-year-old Gerri did not disappoint as even at that weight she was a great chinner, racked the lat pulldown machine, and performed a near-bodyweight curl and leg pressed 1200 pounds like nothing. Gerri started competing in 1989 and is now a top amateur, having placed 4th in the 2004 US Championships and she will be hitting the top shows again this year. After the gymwork, Gerri shows off her incredible physique, and she was very lean and vascular despite being in the off-season. She is a balanced physique but a special nod goes to her fabulous biceps (15”), back and chest shots, and she shows it all off in her bikini and three nice dress items, then is interviewed. She is one of the best out there, with a physique similar to that of Michelle Ivers. Video/DVD runs 100 minutes.

Robin has been a mainstay on the competitive bodybuilding scene for nearly 20 years and we finally nailed her down for a full photo/video session – and, we are glad we waiting as this 51 (!!) year old is now better than ever, and easily among the best few women over 45 ever. We have some footage of her taken in very top (and incredibly vascular) contest shape (at the time of the 2004 Nationals), when she was a ripped 140 pounds at 5’4”. Then, another session in May 2005 when she was 10 pounds heavier, but you will not notice much of a difference, as she was big, hard and defined, and very pretty. In the gym we did a combo workout – some repwork and some strong lifts – her lat pull downs and benching were very strong, and this is followed by lots of unreal posing in bikinis and several dresses, and her first ever on camera interview. Robin is one of the most muscular women competing today with a truly complete physique featuring terrific arms, back, chest, thighs and great calves!! Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

Tazzie has been one of our most popular physique models ever since we did our first work with her in 1988 as a 20-year old competing in that Junior Nationals. She is 38 now and at her biggest (204 pounds, 5’7”) and strongest ever. She is a top IFBB pro (been in top 5 of several Ms. Olympia’s) and has recently competed in power lifting and “Strong Woman” contests, so she was no whimp during the gymwork scenes. Always wanting to try something new, Tazzie asked if she could do half of the gymwork in a dress, and we obliged, watching her knock off 30 easy chin-ups, hitting the heavy bag, etc. in the dress, then she changed to do her very heavy curls (17 reps at 135 pounds!) and benching her bodyweight 23 times, etc. After that, Tazzie hit the shots in a bikini, leotard, teddy and two other dynamite dress items, showing off one of the best physiques of all time. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

We saw photos of her one-day and within the week completed this photo/video session with her.  Danielle is a most unique woman (only 24!!) who enters “Strong Woman” contests, power lifts and does Pro-style wrestling, and she has an incredible physique for her age and size (5’2” 180 pounds)…another Doughdee!!).  Her gymwork was one of the best of all time, right up there with Luebke/Beattie, etc, and has Doughdee’s enthusiastic “go for it” attitude. Her lifts were beyond belief, including squatting nearly 600 for reps (no wraps), dead lifting 565 off a bench (tougher than off the floor), curling 175 pounds with a spotter among other lifts. And, “despite” her 26” thighs and 16” biceps, she is as limber and athletic as the top fitness women and we have her doing back flips and jumping toe-touching as well as limbering up. After that, she does some bodybuilding posing (she will do her first contest this fall) in a two piece and a dress – her first photo session ever, flowed by her interview. For sure a one of a kind woman and physique/strength model. Video/DVD runs 100 minutes.

Shelly has been one of Canada’s top bodybuilders and figure women for the past 5 years, placing as high as 2nd in bodybuilding and with several other top 5 finishes in both evens in the Canadians. She has most recently been competing in the figure shows, and for our June 2005 photo/video session she was in figure shape – good muscularity for figure and one of the nicest looking models ever, looking a lot like Alyssa Ferrari!! We had a rep workout in the gym (great claves on that machine), then a very young looking 33 year old hit the shots in her bikini and two very attractive dress items, followed by her interview. At 5’4” and 140 pounds, she was leaner in the upper body (very good figure arms and back) but with good calves also in the heels. Video/DVD runs 1-½ hours.

A long time fan, Bill Wick, introduced us to K.C. by e-mail and we were struck by her combination of good looks and leanly defined physique, particularly for a 48 year old!! She is from California and was getting ready for the 2005 US Championships and we had her come out to NJ for a full photo/video session, which featured repwork in the gym, posing in bikinis/dresses and an interview. This was her first video session ever, but posed like a pro and was ireless, enabling us to get a full 2 hours with her, usually pretty hard to do. At 5’6” and 135 pounds, she was in contest shape, with a very lean and muscular physique with a lot of vascualarity – terrific arms, chest, back and abs and very good looks. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.

Allison is a “Jersey” woman who competes in figure shows – she is “gently muscled” but is most appealing looks wise, with good abs and a nicely chiseled back. At only 25, the 5’2”, 130-pounder was just off contest shape as she shits the shots in several outfits after a rep workout in the gym. Fans of the figure women will enjoy her as she has a great natural body, with moderate muscle but is a very bubbly poser (her first time) and is VERY cute. Interview also included. Video/DVD runs 100 minutes.

We had our first session with Jennifer in 2002, then took three years off to have another child, and she’s back better than ever. Oh and talk about good-looking – she combines killer looks (and a terrific mane of light brown hair) with a lush physique with very good definition (with a fabulous 6-pack of abs). She was in top contest shape when this was done at the time of the 2005 Jr. Nationals and she never looked better. A complete physique, which also includes very good biceps, and a great chest, back, and lower body shots – a complete package which the judges should totally love. Jen hits the shots in three beautiful dresses and a bikini and is interviewed. This new material runs an hour, so we added her 2002 off-season footage that was first released on Ray Martin-226. So, you get an hour in top contest shape and ½ hour off-season. Video/DVD runs 1-½ hours.

We have known this New Yorker for many years, seeing her in the early 90’s working backstage at the Extravaganza shows just when she was starting to train for competition herself. She has come a long way, both in her physique and her incredible strength level, and this is our second taping with her. She was in contests shape at the time of the 2005 US Championships, and despite dieting for the show she again put on quite a show of strength in the gym (how about curling half her bodyweight of 150 pounds for 30+ reps, then curling 135 pounds for 8 reps!! Or, benching 135 (close to her 150 pound weight, at 5’3”) for 24 reps!! As far as her physique, she is packed – very strong 15” arms, deep cut abs and dense muscularity, particularly in her chest, triceps and back. This new 2005 material runs about an hour, so to fill out a video, we also have added her 2002 session – which runs another hour and features more very strong gymwork, posing and interview. Video/DVD runs 2 ¼ hours.

Karen had been competing as a more “lean” figure competitor a few years ago, but since then has added so much muscle that she now looks more like a light or middleweight bodybuilder. She is from Michigan but came to New York to compete in the 2005 Team Universe, where her second placing allowed her to be a new IFBB pro. We spend the entire next day with her doing a full gym workout (some of it tandem with another figure woman – Krista Smith) then having her pose in several great looking swimsuits and dresses. For the gymwork, we were going to do a competition with Krista, but Karen was so strong we had to stop after a few events. We have included those, then lots of other repwork with Karen before she showed off her very muscular figure physique, including fabulous abdominals, in the different outfits. At 5’2” and 125 pounds, she wad good muscle size for figure and was in perfect defined shape, and at 41 (!!!) she looks about 15 years younger, as her physique is topped off by staggering facial beauty and terrific hair. Her interview closes out the tape. One of the best figure women ever! Note: Some of her gymwork is also on the Krista Smith WPW-649. Video/DVD runs 2 hours.
