genextras - news from the world of female muscle

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!

Female bodybuilder Joanna Wilson is a fan favorite and she looked great again at the 2010 NPC Nationals.  Here's a sneak preview shot from the gallery James will be posting soon!  See more of here on the FTV site: http://tour.ftvideo.com/showgal.php?g=groups/7138/12_1&s=51

TomNine is shown here working hard by the pool with female bodybuilder Kate Baird (http://tour.ftvideo.com/showgal.php?g=groups/4781/12_1&s=51) at the 2010 NPC Nationals in Atlanta, GA.  Ton has a signature style of shooting that matches his personality.

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:

Two competitors from the recent 2010 NPC Nationals that we really liked are figure athlete Jillian Reville and bodybuilder Melissa Di Bernardo.  Here's a couple teaser from our shoot!

Spain's finest was here in the US and we got some great stuff with her!

This would be my favorite bartender – what do you think?

The Olympia weekend was a crazy whirlwind as usual and we had fun covering the show again this year.  Check out our contest report and photos from the expo and parties!
