Three video sessions were done with Theresa in 1994 and 1995, and most of the posing of here then was done in top contest shape, starting off at 5'8" 150 pounds at the time of the 1994 Junior Nationals, then the Nationals that year. We finished up with her in early 1995 at the Extravaganza Strength Show when she was a still hard 165 pounds. We lead off with the contest shape posing, divided into many scenes depending on what outfits she was wearing Half the scenes were left 'live' as they had very good model-photographer action, and we dubbed music over the other noisier scenes. Theresa was a top national competitor at this time and her physique was complete, highlighted by great calves (17"), deep abs and a good upper body throughout, with 16" biceps. We were not able to tape gymwork with her, but instead we used footage of her onstage during the strength show. This was her first time in front of a camera but you would never know it based on her very friendly manner and we are sure you will enjoy her personality as well as her physique. Interview also included.

By 1995 we were no longer taping the prejudging at many contests, so for here, we have the finals only for these three shows, and since the finals ran about 50 minutes each we have combined all three shows on to this dynamite tape. These are the three top NPC shows of the year each year, featuring America's best competitive amateur women bodybuilders. So, for each of the three shows you see the finals only, with five women posing in three weight classes, so there are 45 different routines here. Class posedowns and overall posedowns are included as well as the awards. "Name" women competing here include Stacy Moller, Joey Stracbein, Lauren Hart, Jennifer Greenbaum, Theresa O'Brien, Jackie Til, Renee Johns, Judy Miller, Valerie Gangi, Tracy Gillespie, Erica Kern, Betty Pariso, Robin Parker, Chris Bongiovanni, Suzan Kaminga, Jodi Friedman, Denise Masino, Clifta Coulter, Brenda Raganot, Paula Suzuki, Caron Hospedales, Peggy Schoolcraft, Nicole Bass, Annie Rivieccio and many other new women.

Each year these are the two top amateur contests in the US and the 1997 shows featured many of your top favorites of that time and also some great new faces. For the U.S. show we have the full prejudging and finals, but for the Nationals only the finals. Some of the more well known women in the U.S. included Pam Kusar, Judy Miller, Michelle Ivers, Denise Hoshor, Melinda McNabb, Becky Rampey, Amy Pazzo, Christie Wolf, Kelley Felske, Carmen Brady, Iris Kyle, Heather Foster, Lisa Lewis, Annie Rivieccio and many others. Those in the Nationals included Collin Fisher, Brenda Raganot, Melinda McNabb, Gina Hall, Sharon Robelle-Dombroskas, Heather Foster, Nicole Bass, Iris Kyle and others. So, for these two shows you will see about 50 full routines, all class posedowns and awards.

Ever since our very first releases for Melissa (WPW 233 and 268) she has proven to be one of your all time favorites, and that is not hard to understand as she is one of the most beautiful women on the pro circuit and has developed her body into a world class physique. At 5'4" and 140 pounds she has added 20 pounds of rock hard muscle since our first taping with her in 1993. This video features two contest-condition tapings- at the 1996 Jan Tana contest then at the 1997 Ms International- and she was in unreal peaked condition for both. We have a 10 minute update interview with her, then her other 80 minutes is pure posing in many bikinis, leotards and tight fitting dresses, all showing off her great upper body and much improved (since a few years ago) lower body as well. The final 20 minutes of this video features posing with Betty Pariso, who is very similar to Melissa in terms of her blonde beauty and ripped physique. We did our first video with Betty in 1993 (on WPW 234) and over the next 2 years she also packed on the muscle as well for this 1995 taping, but it appeared that we would not be able to finish this session with her, and we were right) so we were waiting for an appropriate 'pairing' and felt that Melissa was a good pairing. All of Betty's 20 minutes was pure posing in different outfits.
