Hayley was one of the more impressive young (only 21!!) competitors to come around in a while, winning both the Delaware and Maryland State contests in 2009. We did this photo/video session with her in the Summer of 2009 when she was still in near-contest shape after her shows. At 5'2" she checked in at a lean 140 pounds, featuring very good shapes and size particularly for her age. She trains very heavy and retained alot of her strength as can be seen during her gymwork where she opens with a very easy 20 chins. She then racks the lat pulldown machine and curled 100 pounds for reps before doing reps for other lifts. After working out she hit the shots in a bikini and three dress items, showing off a very impressive upper body and great thighs and calves as well, all topped off by beautiful looks and long brown hair- sad we did not get to do more follow-up work with her. Interview also included.

Kathryn had been competing since 1981 and may have been the only, or one of the very few, 'four decade' women who competed in the 80s, 90s and the two decades in the 2000s. We did not catch up with her for video work til 2004 to do our first photo/video session with her (which is on WPW 583) and then followed up with sessions that are also still available on WPW 627, 731,764 and 767. This video here was taped in 2009 in near contest shape just before she competed in the 2009 Masters Nationals contest. The 49 year old (!!!) checked in at 5'3" and 145 pounds and posed in two bikinis and three dresses, and was interviewed. No gymwork this time, but she did some fun scenes where she posed to some live piano music. Physique-wise, Kathryn shows off a very impressive upper and lower body, including some of the best calves ever, all topped off by facial beauty and a great retro blonde hairstyle. One of our fave physique models of all time.

Maribel competed during the 1990s mostly in NABBA contests, but after a ten year break she started to compete again, this time in NPC figure events. We met her at her comeback contest in 2010, a regional show in New Jersey, and was impressed by her perfect figure/bodybuilding physique look as well as her facial beauty, and all of this at age 45! At 5'1" 135 pounds she had the size of a bodybuilder and the lush shapes of an off-season figure woman. To add to all that, she also had very good definition, including impressive back, arms and thighs, and deep cut abs as well. She is a professional hair dresser and her own hair and makeup were right on. The gymwork was a combination of strong lifts (double bodyweight for reps on lat pulldowns, racked the calves machine, etc.) Then after her reps we moved on to posing scenes in a bikini and three dresses, including the now famous cinnamon colored dress which was tailor made for her. Despite doing the figure shows, we posed her bodybuilding-style and she did not miss a beat during long posting scenes. Also included is her footage from her last contest, the 2000 NABBA Universe, which we took from WPW Video 570. Maribel's friend and training partner, Nicole Gengara, assisted in the gym and took part in the closing interview. Maribel had the type of look which could have changed the minds of those who did not think women with muscles look good!
