We were surprised to see more Herman Cain coverage but this time with someone we had just met at the 2011 NPC Nationals in Miami, female bodybuilder Kimberly Vay.  It's probably crazy for her now with even Fox News identifying her and mixing her up in the Herman Cain craziness.  More photos of Kimberly from Nationals are posted here: http://tour.ftvideo.com/showgal.php?g=content/genex/contests/

We shot a lot of video footage with Kashma Maharaj down in South Beach during the 2011 NPC Nationals.  She looks amazing and we expect you'll appreciate her physique as well.  Her upper body reminds us of Kim Perez in the way that she packs on the muscle – what do you think?

Female Bodybuilder Carmen Tocheniuk had kept a low profile going into the 2011 Canadian Nationals but we caught up with her after the show to shoot. Here's a sneak peek!  More at: http://tour.ftvideo.com/showgal.php?g=groups/4895/12_1&s=51

Here's a peek at Lisa who's now an IFBB Pro bodybuilder.  She won the Masters Overall at the 2011 Canadian Bodybuilding Nationals recently and we shot with her the morning after where she was still crazily vascular – look for the photos and video soon!  You can see more of Lisa on the website: http://tour.ftvideo.com/showgal.php?g=groups/6866/12_1&s=51

Alyssa Stroud was one of the hot stars at the 2011 NPC USAs this past weekend.  She's got an awesome structure and her physique can easily carry a lot of muscle, of which she's packed it on since her transition from figure to bodybuilding.  She's now working to get to the 2011 NPC Nationals in Florida and has set up a website to let you help her do just that: http://letshelpalyssa.weebly.com/

OK so we're printing up the next batch of genex magazine business cards.  The last batch featured IFBB Pro Kris Murrell.  Who do you think should be on the next card?

We shot with Carla, who's making her debut at the National level in the NPC in women's bodybuilding as she preps for the 2011 NPC USAs (get your tickets now: http://lindsayproductions.com/11EventInfoUSA.php).  She looked terrific don't you think?  Find out at the show and follow here at genex magazine for updates on our shoots that weekend…

Theresa was one of our favorite shoots at Jr Nationals.  She's got great thickness and James got some amazing video of her.  Here's one of my favorite stills from the shoot.  You can see more of Theresa flexing and posing here: http://tour.ftvideo.com/showgal.php?g=groups/7977/12_1&s=51

Theresa was another competitor we shot at the Arnold this year. She's got a fantastic physique with some amazing delts. Look for workout video and more coverage of Theresa on the site soon!

One of our all time favorite models and physique athletes is Andrea Trent and we did a quick shoot with her at the Arnold earlier.  She's considering stepping back on stage in the physique division and we hope that happens since she's got a great physique and presence that would translate well into that new division.  What do you think?

Helle Nielsen is making a comeback! The gorgeous Danish pro, who last competed in 2003, plans to do the pro show at the FIBO expo in Germany on April 16. “I couldn’t resist with a show this close to Denmark,” she says.Helle exploded onto the scene in 2003 when she won the Jan Tana on her pro debut when she was just 27 years-old and placed fifth in the heavyweights at the Ms. Olympia later that

It may have been a while since you’ve seen Carmella on the competitive stage, but this female bodybuilder has kept her muscle and is looking great.  We caught up with her and shot in her home town of Atlanta and here’s a couple preview pix from our shoot!

One of my favorite shoots in Atlanta, GA during the 2010 NPC Nationals was with Spaniard Nora Girones.  Nora has a sultry look but packs some nice muscle on her frame and her personality is awesome. This was a shot from our shoot but look for video clips as well as the full galleries to come soon on the FTVideo.com website!

One of the competitors at the 2010 NPC Nationals that we liked and managed to track down that weekend was Cassandra Wilson.  She's got a terrific physique and was a new face we wanted to feature.  Here's a shot from our shoot, but James got some awesome video as well so keep an eye out on the http://www.FTVideo.com website for that soon!

We were so glad to see Sherry Smith this past weekend at the 2010 NPC Nationals.  She's looking fantastic and we talked to her and understand she's still fired up about bodybuilding (pardon the pun!) so keep an eye out for Sherry to return to stage!

Here's a moment from the show that Amy forwarded on to us and some notes:   "My episode airs this Wednesday, 10/27/10 at 4pm on MTV http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/588993/bodybuilder.jhtml#id=1650509   "For those I haven't told yet, I spent the summer working in Florida as a MADE coach for this young girl. The show is on MTV, it's called MADE and it will be on Wednesday, 10/27 at 4-5pm.

Well we just finished editing the photos from our shoot with Lisa Giesbrecht and gotta say that she's one of the hottest female bodybuilders out there.  Here's a teaser pic from the shoot – look for a lot more on the site in the near future!

We have always liked Amber Defrancesco's look from the time James shot with her as a figure competitor and we caught up with her in Pittsburgh as she prepares for the 2010 NPC Nationals!  Here's a couple shots of Amber looking fantastic!  We hope she'll follow in the footsteps of Jennifer Scarpetta and Sarah Hayes most recently who also used to compete in figure!

We had a lot of fun shooting with Alica outside of Chicago during the 2010 NPC Jr Nationals.  She's got a great look and with her jet black flowing hair, has an unmistakable presence.   Here's two quick shots from the shoot and James got a lot of good video footage a bit of which has already been uploaded to 10flex.com and YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTOEanZmzww

If you like legs and calves you'll love our newest model.  Here's a look at her from her first shoot and James got some great video footage as well!

One of my favorite shoots of the weekend was with Mississippian Amanda Micka. She's got that charming Southern drawl, and a powerful physique to match with her good looks. Here's a couple shots from my shoot and James shot a ton of great video and a preview is already up here:

Marina as totally focused going into the 2010 NPC Jr Nationals and it showed as she took the overall title this past weekend.  Look out for Marina most likely hitting the LW class again in Atlanta for the 2010 NPC Nationals where she aims for her pro card!

We think you will too if you don’t already.  This young co-ed has a smoking look with nice thick muscles and is getting ready for the 2010 Team Universe Bodybuilding Championships and we think she’s got a great chance of winning there.  Here’s a preview pic of Hayley from the video shoot James Cook had with her last weekend in New York.

So Marja is one of our favorite models.  She loves to pose and flex so much that even when you tell her she can relax, she just keeps on flexing.  But then again looking at the physique she’s developed – how can you blame her? Here’s one shot from a bunch of the stuff we shot at the New York Pro show last week in Manhattan!

One of my favorite athletes to shoot with this weekend was Julia.  You’ll be seeing more of her on the site but just wanted to post up one pic.  She was in the audience at the 2010 NY Pro and we had to set something up.  We think she’s got a really nice upper body and we hope you like her look!

We got together with Stephanie who’s trained by Dylan Armbrust at the 2010 Emerald Cup and shot with her on the rare sunny day that weekend.  Here’s a sneak peek – look for more full galleries on the http://www.ftvideo.com website!

I dunno if it’s just us but it looks like Wendy’s guns just keep getting bigger.  Maybe those of you who are bicep fans can tell us but from our shoot this past weekend at the 2010 Emerald Cup, I can definitely say we saw some impressive gains.  Overall Wendy just keeps improving too so we can’t wait to see what she brings to her  next bodybuilding competition!

Just wanted to share an image from our shoot with Marga Overby yesterday from the Emerald Cup.  Many of you may be familiar with her by the name Marga Martin as she used to compete in figure but found bodybuilding to suit her physique more.  Marga is a great model and has a really nice physique including great legs!  This is a sneak peek from the full photo and video shoot that James and I did

So we had a chance to shoot with Stephanie Spencer who has a terrific physique and is a great model.  We also worked with a bunch of other athletes at the Emerald Cup and will be posting interviews, contest photos, results and candids shortly.  In the meantime we wanted to at least share this one shot from earlier today…
