WPW-644: Female Bodybuilder KC Inlow



WPW-644: Female Bodybuilder KC Inlow - Official Video Preview

A long time fan, Bill Wick, introduced WPW to K.C. by e-mail and WPW Was struck by her combination of good looks and leanly defined physique, particularly for a 48 year old!

K.C. is from California and was getting ready for the 2005 US Championships and WPW had her come out to New Jersey for a full photo/video session, which featured rep work in the gym, posing in bikinis/dresses and an interview.

This was K.C.'s first video session ever, but posed like a pro and was tireless, enabling WPW 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 vascularity -- terrific arms, chest, back, abs and very good looks.

WPW-644 video/DVD runs 2 hours.

WPW-642: Strongwoman/Bodybuilder Danielle Smith



WPW-642: Strongwoman/Bodybuilder Danielle Smith - Official Video Preview

WPW saw photos of Danielle one day and within the week completed this photo/video session with her.

Danielle is a most unique woman (only 24 years old!) who enters "Strong Woman" contests, powerlifting, does Pro-style wrestling, and she has an incredible physique for her age and size (5'2" 180 pounds)... another Doughdee!).

Danielle's gym work was one of the best of all-time, right up there with Luebke/Beattie, etc, and has Doughdee's enthusiastic "go for it" attitude!

Danielle's lifts were beyond belief, including squatting nearly 600lbs for reps (no wraps), dead lifting 565lbs off a bench (tougher than off the floor), curling 175lbs with a spotter, among other lifts.

despite her 26" thighs and 16" biceps, Danielle is as limber and athletic as the top fitness women and WPW has 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, followed by her interview. For sure a one of a kind woman and physique/strength model!

WPW-642 video/DVD runs 100 minutes.

WPW-763: Female Bodybuilder Chris Porter-Haynes



WPW-763: Female Bodybuilder Chris Porter-Haynes - Official Video Preview

1984 and 2011. WPW first met Chris Porter in 1984, a few months prior to her first contest, the 1984 Superbowl of Strength Bodybuilding event, which she won. WPW noticed her at the gym that summer when taping another woman, and her thighs (very developed from years of speed skating) in particular caught WPW's eye. WPW set up their first taping with her for the day after the Superbowl. That footage, which includes gymwork, interview and posing in bikini and dress, was originally released on WPW DVD 24, then later batched with Rene Casella on WPW DVD 146- the latter is still available. Also included from that era are 2 of Chris' contest routines (including the 1985 America's, now known as The Nationals) and 2 guest posing routines (the routine from the 1985 Superbowl is poor quality, but the others are fine).

Fast forward to 2011, when Chris Haynes made her 25+ year comeback as a 'physique' competitor at the 2011 Masters Nationals in July. Chris was leanly defined- upper and lower body- with great looks and grooming- hard to believe she is in her early 50's now! Chris poses in a bikini, a dress and is interviewed.

WPW videographer John Nafpliotis taped everything so far, then Tom Nine had another session with her a few months later, when she was a spectator at the 2011 Ms. Olympia, where she posed in a bikini and two dresses, and is interviewed again.

This is a unique video showing the 25 year old Chris as a thick bodybuilder, then moving on to her sleek 'physique' look in her 50's.

WPW-760: Female Bodybuilders Stacey Pillari, Marina Lopez and Kristi Bruce



WPW-760: Female Bodybuilders Stacey Pillari, Marina Lopez & Kristi Bruce - Official Video Preview

Stacy Pillari, Marina Lopez and Kristi Bruce were all in lean contest shape at the time of their tapings at their shows in 2010.

Stacy was ripped and very muscular at 5'1" 110 pounds, and the 45 year old from North Carolina had a great year, placing high in masters events, then a top-five in the Nationals. Her footage runs about 30 minutes and includes posing in two bikinis and a mini-dress, and she is interviewed.

Marina had a fantastic 2010 as well- she was the overall champ at the Junior USA, placed 2nd in the USA, then won her class at the NPC Nationals, allowing her to become an IFBB pro. WPW only had a short time with Marina , resulting in 15 minutes of posing in a bikini and dress. Marina is from Colorado and she also was in very lean and wiry shape.

Kristi has also been having a lot of success on the circuit, including winning her class in the 2009 Junior Nationals. She checked in at 5'3" 140 pounds for this photo/video session, which has her hitting the shots in a bikini and shorts/halter, and she is interviewed. Kristi is originally from Kentucky, now living in North Carolina.

WPW-760 video/DVD running time is about 75 minutes.

WPW-732: Female Bodybuilder Melissa Coates - Official Video Preview

A couple of years ago WPW did a 'swimsuit compilation video' for Sharon Marvel, which featured all of her bikini/one piece posing scenes taken from all of her originally released videos- this is on WPW-695. WPW will continue to do this in the future for women who had multiple video offerings.

Melissa Coates has been one of WPW's most often taped physique models, and this title features all of her bikini/one piece posing scenes from all of her previous WPW videos, starting from 1993 up through her most recent session in 2005.

Note that there is no new footage of her here, it is all re-released. The footage is taken from the following WPW videos: WPW-233, WPW-268, WPW-307, WPW-370, WPW-515, WPW-592 and WPW-664, which are all still available in original form as well.

WPW-733: Female Bodybuilder Andrea Giacomi - Official Video Preview

WPW met Andrea Giacomi at a couple of local bodybuilding contests in New Jersey during 2008 and had their photo/video session with her in the fall.

In a 'reverse' move, Andrea came to the NYC area from California, where she had been doing figure events. At 5'8" 180 pounds in contest shape, and with perfect shape, she might be more suited for bodybuilding.

WPW did the work with Andrea the day after her contest when she was still in good contest condition, featuring very good size, shapes and definition throughout, though her back, chest, arms and calves are noteworthy.

Despite the 45 degree weather, nearly all the posing in bikini and dresses was done outside, and rep work in the gym and interview are also included.

WPW-733 video/DVD runs 100 minutes.

WPW-709: Female Bodybuilder Theresa Hendricks - Official Video Preview

This is WPW's second release for Theresa Hendricks- her first session is on WPW-680. Theresa was again in top contest shape at 5'6" 145 pounds, as WPW did the photos/video with her the day after the 2007 Team Universe, where she was 2nd in her heavyweight class.

The 46 year old looks facially and physically ten years younger, sporting terrific makeup and hair and a national caliber physique which has just missed turning pro in a few recent pro qualifiers.

Theresa starts off with rep work in the gym, then she was tireless as she posed extensively in a bikini and three dresses, and is interviewed.

WPW-180: Female Bodybuilder Shelley Beattie



WPW-180: Female Bodybuilder Shelley Beattie - Official Video Preview

Shelley Beattie competed successfully in the northwest (she was from Oregon), winning such shows as the Emerald Cup in the late 80's. In 1990, Shelley went "big time" competing in her first national show, and winning the 1990 US Championships, where WPW did her contest shape (5'7" 155 pounds) video footage.

Sandwiched around that, WPW had two off-season sessions with her (at 162 pounds). The first was in early 1990, when she did some awesome gymwork (benching 315 for two, etc) with Kris Luebke as a spotter, then again in late 1990 for more off-season footage.

In all, Shelley hits the shots in many, many swimsuits and dresses, and is interviewed. Obviously, winning the overall at the USA confirmed her as one of the best physiques of the time, terrific muscle size and definition everywhere, with great looks. Shelley competed as a pro for a couple of years before retiring from the sport for good in the early 90's, but WPW has all of her dynamite 1990 work here on one release.

WPW-189: Doughdee Marie



WPW-189: Doughdee Marie - Official Video Preview

This was WPW's second video title for Doughdee Marie, covering the years 1990 and 1991. WPW's first video with her had footage from 1984 through 1986, but after that was released, WPW obtained more footage from that era which is now on this tape.

During this time, Doughdee started gaining alot of muscular size and strength for an adagio/martial arts act she was working on, so at 5'2" she was in the area of 165-180 pounds here, featuring 17" arms and 27" thighs.

WPW had a very brief session with her in 1990 when she was still a brunette, but from 1991 onwards she was a blonde.

Doughdee poses in many outfits and is interviewed, but her 'work session' for her act might be the most interesting to watch as Doughdee does martial arts moves, lifts 240 pound men overhead, does rapid flips and other gymnastic moves, etc, and this is in addition to some very heavy regular gym work.

In the last footage, WPW returns to 1985-1987 when the Cohen Brothers did some camcorder free-lance work with her, again posing in many outfits.

WPW-189 Video/DVD runs 2 3/4 hours.

WPW-101: Female Bodybuilder Susan Myers



WPW met Susan Myers in 1988 at the DC Grand Prix contest, a show held mainly for residents of that area -- Susan was from Maryland.

At that time, it was difficult to meet a newcomer that good even at the top national shows, so it was astonishing to meet a "state of the art" physique at a local show. It is also hard to believe Susan was only 26 years old at this time, as the 5'2" 120 pounder was dense with muscle and ripped. At that time many women had chiseled upper bodies, but there were very few who had this kind of muscle shape and definition in the thighs.

WPW had three video sessions with her in 1988 -- one was the day after the show when she was in fabulous shape, then some at the 1988 Junior Nationals and finally WPW had a tandem camcorder session with Susan and Sharon Marvel together, at a river setting (when both were off-season) -- all are included on this DVD.

Susan quickly won the National Shows and competed as a pro for a few years into the early 1990's, before fading from the scene.

In the late 80's, it would be hard to point to another woman who had Susan's combination of unreal physique and very cute looks.

WPW-719: Female Bodybuilder Trudy Ireland



WPW met Trudy Ireland at the 2001 Junior USA and WPW has had full photo/video sessions with her every other year or so since. Her three other titles are still in catalogue, including WPW-449 and WPW-539 and WPW-685, on video and DVD.

For this tape, WPW had two sessions with her- in top contest shape (ripped at 155 pounds) at the time of her big win in the "Over 50" Masters Nationals in July 2007, then a month later when she was up to 165 pounds, but you would hardly know the difference.

At 5'4", Trudi has among the most mass pounds-per-height on the scene today...and, the definition is very evident as well. At the contest, Trudy hits the shots in a bikini and two skirts, and during the next session another bikini and three more dress outfits, showing off incredible size, definition and vascularity. An interview is also included- see why this "Star" can be "Called #1".

WPW-350: Female Bodybuilder Michele Maroldo



WPW-350: Female Bodybuilder Michele Maroldo - Official Video Preview

Despite training for nearly 10 years, Michele entered her first national show early in 1998, at the NPC Junior USA. WPW has included her prejudging and evening routines on this tape, but the rest of the photo/video session took place in September, when Michele was still chiseled at an unreal 5'4" 155 pounds!

No need to go into detail about the obvious -- Michele has the best biceps and triceps in the history of the sport, and her chest and back poses aren't far behind. Her truly awesome upper body will distract the viewer from realizing just how good her lower body is: chiseled calves, great abs and very strongly developed thighs. Her facial beauty, topped with a gorgeous mane of long, long, red hair tops off one of the most spectacularly muscled women ever.

WPW opens with extended gym footage, where she does effortless chins and very strict curls culminating in a body weight curl for reps. But, that was not nearly enough footage to watch those arms in curling action, so WPW did more repetitions at every angle, then rep work for triceps, chest and lat pull downs as well. Then, on to Michele's first ever photo/video shoot, and she blew WPW away with all her shots in four different outfits -- two different bikinis and two great looking dresses -- all live posing action! Her interview and stage routines close this video of an incredibly developed woman.

WPW-150: Female Bodybuilder Raye Hollitt



WPW-150: Female Bodybuilder Raye Hollitt - Official Video Preview

Along with Rachel McLish, Cory Everson and Lenda Murray, Raye Hollitt has been one of the most well-known and popular women bodybuilders ever. Some of that was a result of her bodybuilding career and success in the Extravaganza Strength Contests, but she gained even more fame as the American Gladiator 'ZAP' as well as for a few roles in feature movies.

WPW met Raye as a very young amateur bodybuilder in the early 80's, then she started to really put some size on a few years later.

This title features the best of WPW's tapings with her from 1985 through 1987 where she was usually in big off season condition, but was in great contest shape for the last of three sessions in 1987. There is gym work, posing in many outfits, interview and her bodybuilding routine and her strength lifting at the 1988 Extravaganza strength show, now on DVD for the first time.

WPW-74: Female Bodybuilder Sharon Marvel



WPW-74: Female Bodybuilder Sharon Marvel - Official Video Preview

Sharon Marvel started competing in Maryland in 1986 at the age of 22, and a year later, when WPW had their first photo/video session with her, Sharon was already national caliber as she won the 1987 Junior Nationals contest overall as a lightweight. WPW had two sessions with her around this time, one at her contest weight of about 120 pounds (she is 5'3") then shortly after that when she was maybe 10 pounds up in weight.

Sharon grew up in Delaware and was living in Maryland when WPW did this shooting and the fact that she moved to New Jersey soon after, and varied her appearance over the years, made her WPW's favorite physique model ever.

This was WPW's first title with her and the remaining WPW and Ray Martin videos of her are still available and will be transferred to DVD in the future.

Here, Sharon does rep work in the gym, is interviewed and poses in many different bikini, leotard and dress items, including a 'camcorder' session with her by the Chesapeake Bay.

WPW has done several video sessions with Dena over the past 6-7 years, in contest shape and off season, but she is at her most ripped here, as we did the work with her the day after the 2007 Jan Tana Contest.

The 5'2" 135 pounder showed off impressive size, shape and definition, and Dena hits the shots in her bikini and dresses after a workout in the gym, and an update interview is also included.

This new 2007 footage runs about 1 1/2 hours, and as a bonus, WPW has another 40 minutes that were taken of her by another videographer late in 2005, when she was in near-contest shape.

WPW-701: Female Bodybuilder Debbie Bramwell - Official Video Preview

Debbie Bramwell has been one of WPW's most photographed/taped competitor of this decade, and she is always in contest looking shape, even when off season, as she is here.

Debbie doesn't need much of an introduction, as she has been in the top 5-10 of many national shows over the past five or so years- she possesses a standout physique, featuring great arms, and being a pro hairdresser, she is always immaculately groomed.

The new footage of her here was taken in 2006 and runs about an hour, featuring gym work and posing in three other outfits.

To fill out this release, WPW has added Debbie's full 2003 session from WPW-557, which up to now had not been on DVD. That session also featured gym work and posing in five other outfits.

WPW-541: Female Bodybuilder Colette Nelson



WPW-541: Female Bodybuilder Colette Nelson - Official Video Preview

WPW met Colette in 2000 and had two sessions with her that year- they are on WPW-425. This photo/video shoot with her in 2003 was WPW's second, and WPW did three more with her (WPW-569, WPW-631 and WPW-745) during the 2000s, making her one of WPW's favorites for this decade, and, Colette is still competing- just placed 7th at the 2010 Ms. International during the Arnold Classic.

Among other things, her goal is to edge out Sharon Marvel, Melissa Coates, Michelle Ivers, etc, as WPW's most oft-taped women ever, and there is a good chance that can happen as Colette lives locally in NYC and she looks great whether in ripped contest shape or when huge off-season.

Here, Colette was in contest shape (5'5" 155) at the time of the US Championships and hit the shots in her bikini and dresses. Colette also takes pride in her strength in the gym, and even when dieting she did an unreal number of chins, some other strong lifts and some rep work. Her interview is also included.

WPW-700: Eve Polmar & Katie Madden - Official Video Preview

WPW did their photo/video session with Eve in February 2007, when she was a spectator at the Arnold Classic. She competed in bodybuilding about 15-20 years ago, but now has the look of a very leanly developed figure woman, featuring a nicely chiseled upper body in particular. At 5'1" and 120 pounds she was in near-contest shape, featuring good figure muscularity, particularly in her back, chest, arms and calves. She hits the shots in a bikini and three dress items, and is interviewed.

To fill out the release, WPW is using footage of Katie Madden taken in 2006 by Tom Nine- she is a 47 year old figure competitor with a physique similar to Eve's, and Katie poses in about 6 different bikini/dress outfits, with a short interview.

WPW-700 video/DVD runs 100 minutes. Full version DVD is available for $39.95.
