142 - House Of Biceps - Christa Bauch
This is the fifth Ray Martin video featuring Christa. This one has a story line, where a local gym salesman (played by Mike Bogen) comes knocking on Christa's door attempting to sell her a membership. In the beginning Christa is wearing a sweatshirt while Mike rambles on about three pound pink dumbbells, and the amazing results she can expect using them (with the lofty goal of working up to six or seven pound dumbbells after several years). But when she strips down to reveal her incredible physique, Mike is nearly (but unfortunately, not quite) at a loss for words. Most of the rest of the video revolves around Christa flexing her amazing arms, while Mike feels them and attempts to pretend (with little success) that he has never seen a woman with visible muscularity before. There's also some arm wrestling (guess who wins?), some silly tests of strength, ab punching, and so forth. In between, there's a fair amount of flexing (they somehow managed to work several outfit changes into the story line), with a heavy emphasis on arms. Christa is virtually in contest shape, as usual, and looks as good as ever.
With one exception (a sleeveless black body suit near the end of the tape), the outfits are pretty standard stuff (leotard / bikini). There's nothing wrong with Christa in a leotard or bikini, but with several other good tapes of her already available, something a little more out of the ordinary would have been nice. If you are a Christa fan, as I am, you'll probably want to see this tape, but I found that one viewing was enough. I found both the story line and Mike Bogen's presence to be distracting. Nothing personal against Mike, but I'd rather have seen more of Christa posing, and less of him. I suppose this is probably more a reflection of my general distaste for the Ray Martin "skits" than anything else. If you happen to like the skits, this is an opportunity to see Christa do something different from the plain vanilla posing on her WPW tapes, but if your interest runs more toward regular posing, you'll be better off with the other Ray Martin or WPW Christa tapes.
