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-180 video/DVD runs 2 ¾ hours.

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-101 DVD/Video runs 120 minutes.
