We were impressed with both Dawn Whitham and Vicki Shay's strength and endurance in the recent Women's Extravaganza Strength Contests and decided to test their ability to max out on lifts for this video, which was taped in 1995. Both women were in very strong off-season shape at about 5'6" 170 pounds each, and handled poundages in the gym not often seen before. We start this video off with both women doing very heavy repwork and max lifts and both women breeze by 275 pound bench presses for reps (!) ending up with over 300 pounds for reps, then they worked up to 160 pound barbell curls, racking 250 pounds for lat pulldown and 1,100 pounds for leg presses for reps. After doing the heavy gymwork the two women then were interviewed together and that was followed by the two of them posing tandem and solo in several outfits including black mini skirts, shorts/halter and white dress and white thong leotard. As said neither woman are in ripped shape but instead show off classic off-season conditioning- huge size and shapes, yet still lots of hardness, particularly for their bicep shots. The posing scenes are very good, but the gymwork was classic and they had a real 'go for it' attitude in this video.

Donna Restivo was a very top amateur from the New York City area for a few years and we lead off with her here in 1996. We had two sessions with her in 1996, once in ripped contest shape (5'5" 160 pounds) at the time of her contest, the US Championships, and then since she was local for us, we did a session with her a few weeks before her show when she was a bit off her top ripped shape. We lead off this video with Donna doing repwork in the gym then she moves into her posing scenes, for both sessions, and hits the shots in an assortment of bikini, leotards and dresses and she showed off her very good definition combined with her blonde beauty, and she was interviewed. She featured excellent proportions and was leanly defined for all bodyparts, featuring great arms and thighs and fabulous calves. We met Andrea Izard at the time of the 1996 Jan Tana Pro Contest and we did this work with her at the time of the show there. Andrea turned pro after winning her Austalian Championships and her footage is mainly her posing in many outfits such as shorts/halter, white dress, black bikini and a white thong leotard. Her physique is similar to Donna's though she had brunette good looks. Her interview is also included. These two women also have one thing in common, this WPW Video 287 was, sadly, the only video with both women as we think they retired after this work, making this a classic video with two women who we would have loved to do more with, but could not.
