Wings of Strength

I think there’s been a misunderstanding, and I want to clear things up.

More than a few bloggers have been claiming that Jacqueline “Jay” Fuchs wants them to soap/scrub/rinse/dry her back. Well, she doesn’t. It’s me she wants.

imagebam.com imagebam.com

Good. I feel better for that.

So much better in fact that I am prepared to show I hold no grudge whatsoever with those making misguided claims concerning the above scenario. Let’s face it, Jay does have a really really wonderful back and all, exactly the kind of back you’d exchange a body part for the chance to soap up, but she isn’t (thankfully) the only muscle angel with such wings of strength. And I’m not a greedy man, so to show there’s no hard feelings, let’s say I get to do Jay, and you can take your pick from the others…

Now, that’s not such a bad deal, is it?

I mean, if I’m prepared to offer you Jill Rudison, Ms Quads Not Included herself, and all her glorious muscular detail above, you know I’m feeling generous. Jill, I’ll say when she pops round for one of her bi-weekly visits to FMS HQ, Jill, I’m sorry I won’t be able to check those cuts out from now on, you’ve had your last special massage off me, I’ll say. But don’t worry, [insert your name here] is going to take over, and he (or she) is quite the muscle worship artist, I’ll say. And I know that he (or she) is really looking forward to getting his (or her) hands on those rhomboids of yours, I’ll say.

Or how about the beautiful Russian figure competitor Olga Chestoperova? Granted, she’s considerably less well-known than La Rudison, but if Olga from behind isn’t rocking your boat, she was recently featured looking absolutely glorious on the mighty PumpItUp, so check that out before you ask me what else I’ve got on offer.

Here (left) we have another of Swell’s big 2014 crushes, the recently-competed Brooke Black, in a selfie that wouldn’t have looked out of place if we had posted it as part of last week’s Muscle in a Dress celebration. Or if Brooke doesn’t appeal (iffy reputation and all), then I’m sure the scenario on the right will. Just take a moment to put yourself in that room (behind the camera, perhaps?) and think about what happens next… And no, I don’t know who they are. A Google Images search turned up “Best Guess – female muscle porn star”(!!!) which hardly narrows it down these days.

imagebam.com

Feast your eyes on the beautiful symmetry, the insane definition, and on the big, full muscles all over the piece of female muscle art that Ayanna Carroll has created with her back. Feast your eyes as you imagine the fun you could have if tomorrow was the start of a long weekend, Ayana was in this shape, had just handed you a bottle of oil with the instruction to “use it all”, and you had nothing else to do.

imagebam.com

Ok. Some of you, I see, are still playing hardball. Well, perhaps Marthe Sundby‘s post-pump lat spread might make you change your mind about continuing to hold out for Jay. Look: it ain’t gonna happen, pal, so give it up. I am offering you Marthe! I’d tell her to go and do her post-pump posing somewhere else. I’d tell her to go and do her post-pump posing at your place. I would do that for you, I really would.

imagebam.com

And if you are still here, then this, I’m afraid is my final offer. Virginia, an oiled up explosion of muscle, and it’s you – YOU – she wants to get top of hers undone (her fingers are a bit on the sticky side you see) so you can really get busy exploring…

Enjoy!

And a big shout out to Insane Muscle Girls for bringing the Jay pics to FMS‘ attention – although the ludicrous claim that Jay really wants him, rather than me, to do the soaping does detract from what is otherwise an absolutely flawless blog.

By the way, the timing of today’s post, with its rather contrived title, is no coincidence. Wings of Strength (the website) should be applauded by all of us female muscle heads for their support of female bodybuilding over the last few years, and in Chicago today the latest event made possible by their sponsorship comes to a close.

Back Is Beautiful: Freaky Fantasy Favourites

For our final offering of Back Is Beautiful week, a selection of favourites, a little bit of fantasy, and (everybody’s favourite) some proper female muscle freakiness.

imagebam.com
No, I’m not the biggest fan of “excessive” tattoos (although it is nice of her to wear a reminder of what I should be doing more of) but yes, I want to cup her lats in my hands and give them a good squeeze to see if they are as hard and sexy as they look.

imagebam.com
If I could have my “give a back massage to the Crossitter of your choice” wish right now, hot (and sweaty) Danielle Sidell would be the only name on the shortlist.

FREAKY!
imagebam.com imagebam.com
Anne Freitas‘ rightly famous “Christmas tree” erector spinae (that’s spinal erector muscles to you and me). Also known as “those abs things in your lower back”.

imagebam.com imagebam.com
Back is most definitely beautiful. The genetically-gifted Nancy Lewis (left) and Desiree Ellis display the results of their hard work (and more besides).

imagebam.com
Emily Ingram, an NPC Physique competitor from Georgia (and mother of four) needs a better camera and could probably break your fingers with her rhomboids.

FREAKY!
imagebam.com
Yep, I’m calling freaky on Georgina McConnell. Not because her back is freaky like Freitas-freaky (although if she keeps going as she has until now, that is going to be a very real possibility at some stage), but rather because of her incredible development for her age. The biggest and best 19-year-old back on the planet.

imagebam.com
FMS favourite Danielle Reardon (see Hot and Hard 100 #32) puts the muscle into the physique class with her back in this nicely-lit (I wonder if by accident or design?) shot taken in the countdown to her recent revelatory appearance in St. Louis.

FREAKY!
imagebam.com imagebam.com
When Ruthie Lucchesi (left) and Jacqueline “Jay” Fuchs spread their lats, they stay spread [eh? – ed.]. Jay’s latissimus dorsi, in particular, seem to go on forever, and make her waist look absolutely tiny in comparison. Freaky and very very sexy.

imagebam.com imagebam.com
Athena Signakis‘ back seems to be pure muscle with a thin layer of skin over it. A living anatomical sculpture. And one I can quite easily picture myself attempting to massage, attempting because I press as hard as I can but can’t make any impact on those slabs of granite (and meanwhile Athena lies there, feeling nothing and wondering whether I’ve started yet). And if you can pull your eyes away from that magnificent sight for a moment, check out Aleesha Young and what I can only describe as her “lat overhang”. Mouth-watering female muscle meat right there.

FANTASY!
imagebam.com imagebam.com imagebam.com
Pure fantasy. Shredded contest-ready (and tanned up) backs just waiting for you to warm up your hands and apply that oil. And make sure you don’t miss any of those little crevices between her bulging muscles. Get your fingers right in there. I’m feeling light-headed just thinking about it. The pleasure of actually doing it would no doubt leave me in need of some resuscitation. From the top: Karina Nascimento, marvellous Mindy O’Brien, and I don’t know but feel I should. Please, if you do know whose succulent back this is, comment below, or email 6ft1swell@gmail.com.

SUPER FREAKY!
imagebam.com
Maria Rita Penteado and the only erector spinae I know of that make Anne Freitas want to “work harder on the lower back”. Abs on the back. Incredible. I mean, how do you even flex them? Nothing happens when I do it. Try it for yourself!

OK, then. One more…

Enjoy!

Hand Bras

This week, FMS returns to the familiar format of seven posts with a single theme.

imagebam.com imagebam.com

Hands up anyone who doesn’t like a hand bra on their muscle woman?

OK, you can put your hands above the table again. I don’t expect too many hands went up there. I mean, what’s not to like? Seems to me it’s a similar deal to the ‘maximum muscle minimum clothing’ image. You get to see all the muscle, and there’s just a little bit denied to you, and it’s that little bit you can’t see that turns the eroticism up to 11 by sending your female muscle lovin’ imagination into overdrive.

imagebam.com imagebam.com

I guess the first ‘hand bras’ I would have ever seen were in the muscle mags of my teenage years. I certainly remember the shot of Paula Bircumshaw (right), although I seem to remember it as a whole page photo rather than as it is here with text. In the muscle mags, hand bras were about as racy as it was ever going to get, as it ever could get, so each one was a pretty big event in Swell’s teenage bedroom as I recall!

imagebam.com imagebam.com
imagebam.com imagebam.com

Nowadays, you can get to see it all as often as you like – don’t get me wrong, I like a shot of a topless or naked muscle woman as much as any of the female muscle lovin’ brethren do, as long as there hasn’t been a plastic surgery disaster, of course – but still, the tease of the hand bra always has that extra special something.

So, you lucky people, it’s not quite topless muscle beauties all week.

Enjoy!

Inspired by… Anonymoouse

It’s always nice to know that someone is reading my musings, and even nicer when they actually bother to share their thoughts and/or reach out a mutually female muscle appreciating hand. So, this week on FMS, for some of the lovely readers who have been in touch (whether by email or the comment box), a whole post inspired by them as a way of saying thank you for supporting the blog.

I hope they, and you, will enjoy them.

First up, Anonymoouse, who probably wishes to remain so, so even if I knew anything about him(?) – which I don’t – I wouldn’t be telling. Anyway, one of his (many) comments this year, one that was especially memorable, related to a clip of Colette Nelson doing some cooking during Domestic Muscle Goddess week back in June.

I love watching big muscle girls doing normal stuff (like cooking for instance) instead of the usual poses (as great as they are, it can get a little stale and repetitive)!

And so, especially for Anonymoouse

BIG MUSCLE GIRLS DOING NORMAL STUFF

Like shopping, for instance – I told Tina not to flex, ‘Great as your biceps are,’ I said, ‘It can get a little stale,’ but she insisted. Sorry chief, it won’t happen again, I promise!

imagebam.com

Or waiting for your late ass…

imagebam.com

Normal stuff like having a snack while catching up on some emails, not forgetting to make sure everyone can see your trophy. Or your arms. The SIZE of her ARM!

imagebam.com imagebam.com

Normal stuff, the kind of stuff you do ALL THE TIME. Like feeding a giraffe.

More shopping, well, a possible purchase anyway. A girl like Christmas (how apt!) Abbott needs to know what she’s putting in that beautiful body of hers, doesn’t she?

imagebam.com

Rene smiling sweetly at you across the table. Like I said, normal stuff.

imagebam.com

Getting those fluids in.

imagebam.com imagebam.com

And more shopping. Do you think Brazilian bomb Larissa Reis really dresses like this when she goes shopping? I know I would LIKE to think she does…

Jay Fuchs (on the right) and Skadi Frei (on the back) arriving at the club.

imagebam.com

And having that morning espresso. Nude. Is it just me or does anyone else sincerely believe that sexy muscle women like Monica really do walk around in the nuddy whenever they are at home? I, for one, am absolutely CONVINCED it’s true.

imagebam.com

And finally, as Anonymoouse enjoyed Colette cooking so much back in June, I thought he(?) would like another cooking lesson. This time, a full fourteen plus minutes of the very very sexy Shawna Strong making some special wraps.

Enjoy! Another reader-inspired treat tomorrow…

Winners of 2012: Part Two

IFBB Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships + IFBB Wings of Strength Chicago Pro
NOLA TRIMBLE
imagebam.com

Physique? Again?! Is he going soft on us?

No, I still love the big girls, but Nola deserves a mention. To win the first two professional shows that you compete in is quite an achievement it seems to me, and that is what Nola did in 2012. And furthermore, they were two high profile, very competitive shows. And she’s a trained fire fighter. And she did a tour of duty in Iraq in 2010. So relax, there are big girls on their way.

NPC USA Championships
TIERANY CHERTIEN
imagebam.com

There’s something very familiar about Tierany. The body shape, the conditioning, the full muscle maturity. It’s almost like she’s from the same gene pool as Lesa Lewis or Heather Foster. We foresee success for her as a pro in the very near future…

CBBF Canadian Nationals
JOANNE WILLIAMS
imagebam.com

The Canadian Nationals is, in my opinion, one of the great amateur contests. The roll of honour reads a bit like the file list in my special ‘Favourites’ folder. 2002 Marnie Power, 2003 Helen Bouchard, 2004 Louise St Pierre, 2005 Autumn Raby,
2006 Nicole Ball, 2007 Nadia Nardi, 2008 Athena Signakis, 2009 Lyris Cappelle,
2010 Melody Spetko, 2011 Fabiola Boulanger, and now, in 2012 Joanne Williams. And I for one don’t think she’d look out of place in a line-up with her predecessors.

NABBA Worlds + WBPF European(?) Championship
ELENA OANA HREAPCA
imagebam.com

The Queen of Abs became NABBA World Champion back in June, completely outclassing the field. Unfortunately, it’s quite hard to find images of NABBA shows sometimes, so we’ll have to settle for screen caps this time. But however blurry they may be, Oana’s abdominal defintion is always razor-sharp! Check out the third picture down where she’s posing with the other winners. The guy on the right seems a little distracted by the divine eight-pack only feet away from him.

imagebam.com
imagebam.com
imagebam.com

And then there was this…

imagebam.com

Possibly the greatest mismatch ever seen on a bodybuilding stage, Oana and a woman who had once had a gym membership slugged it out for the WBPF title…

WPBF is the World Bodybuilding and Physique Sports Federation, a mainly Asian-based group that seems to be spreading its wings into Europe in an east to west direction, backed by Emirati money – the Manchester City of physique federations, perhaps.

Anyway, you have to feel sorry for both of contestants here, but Oana does look great. It was soon after her NABBA win and she still had the conditioning. But I think we can all agree that she needs to stop competing against the cleaner’s girlfriend, and start competing in bigger shows in 2013.

IFBB Wings of Strength Chicago Pro
MONIQUE JONES
imagebam.com

Mmmmmonique has seemed destined for great things for a couple of years now. To me anyway, there’s something about her frame that says future Miss Olympia, genetically it seems she has a lot of latent potential there that hasn’t been brought out yet. It feels like her first pro win was long overdue, and she delivered in Chicago, then Mmmmmonique and those big dark eyes came in 7th at the Olympia later in the year.

Arnold Classic Europe
JACQUELINE FUCHS
imagebam.com

How much do we love the Arnold Classic Europe? The cream of European bodybuilding all on the stage together with a few South Americans thrown in. Last year there was much teeth-gnashing as Elena Shportun defeated Katka for the title (see October 2011 post) and would you believe it? Katka comes back in 2012 and is runner-up again! Always the bridesmaid…

But this time there hasn’t been any whining about stoopid judges getting it all wrong, because this time the winner was Jacqueline Fuchs. And you don’t say that Jacqueline didn’t deserve to win because if you do she WILL find out where you live and she WILL NOT stop until she finds you and gives you your punishment…

And while Jacqueline was winning the bodybuilding, a vision of Central European beauty was winning the shorter of the two physique classes. I’ll say it again – how much do we love the Arnold Classic Europe?

Miss International
YAXENI ORIQUEN
imagebam.com

It’s a testament to Yaxeni’s exemplary record of consistency and success that she finishes 3rd at the Miss Olympia (her lowest placing since 2009) and we think it was a bad year for her. But back in March she won Miss International for the fifth time in all and the first time since 2008. One of the all-time greats, yes, but also still one of the very top bodybuilders competing today. Write her off at your peril.
