genextras - news from the world of female muscle

Two years ago at the Teen, Collegiate and Masters Nationals we loved the giant screw art in the lobby of the Sheraton Station Square, the host hotel for the NPC contest and along with TomNine, awarded Kate Baird the first ever “Screwed Award”. Kate was sorely overlooked that year we felt and as such she was the inaugural winner. Since we did not do the award last year, we conferred with TomNine and this year have two award winners:

- Kim Winn: Kim looked fantastic and although she may not have been totally ripped, we still think she should have placed much higher and as such are awarding her one of the 2009 Screwed Awards

- Amy Sibcy: Sure Amy got third but, wow, she looked amazing at this show! We thought she could have won her class easily and saying that (even a pro card potentially) but it wasn’t how the results panned out and as such we’re giving her the second of the 2009 Screwed Awards.

Here’s a quick sneak peek of our shoot with Toni West.  She’s got a great story that we’ll be doing a profile on soon and James got a great interview clip with her too.  Look out for a lot more on this great natural bodybuilder!

Rising figure star and fitness model Bre Mollman is competing in the NxLabs® Ultimate Fitness Challenge, a physique-exhibition contest that emphasizes muscle tone over muscle size. You can vote for her here: http://tr.im/sqV3

NxLabs® is offering participants a chance to register and track their progress in different categories against people from around the world.

Help Bre in the second round which she’s already in an forward this on to others. There’s a chance to win sponsorship and appear at the 2010 Arnold Classic as part of this competition!

We’ve shot with Jen in the past (when she was Jen Wiseman) and more recently after she had given birth to her baby.  She has been training and working with Debi Laszewski and recently got back on the bodybuilding stage.  Here’s a few pix she shared with us from that return to the stage!

We had a great weekend in Chicago for the 2009 NPC Jr Nationals and our contest photos are all up. We also did shoots with a number of girls and while we haven’t edited all the video and photos from the weekend we thought we’d put up a few to give you all a teaser. We even got to catch up some with Sarah Dunlap who’s retired from competing, but told us to ‘never say never’ – stay tuned and check out http://www.genexmagazine.comhttp://tour.ftvideo.com as well! for more details and check out the photo and video galleries on

We got this note from Barbie about her new site:
