WPW 312 - Chris Lydon / Marianna Komlos (2 hours)
This tape was made at the time of the 1997 Women's Extravaganza; both Lydon and Komlos were competing in the bodybuilding show. The tape starts with a tandem, rep-oriented gym session, which runs about 30 minutes. Gym work has never been my favorite part of WPW tapes anyway, but I'd have to rate this as below average gym work; neither woman really seemed to get pumped. Next, Lydon poses for about 25 minutes in a pink bikini and a black dress. Her condition is pretty good, but she isn't very big (particularly lacking in the upper body) - more of a mid-80's (or current fitness) look. However, she is quite attractive, and has good legs. Her interview follows, and runs about 20 minutes.
Next, Komlos poses for about 40 minutes in a red bikini, white shorts / green halter, and a really nice gold dress. She's somewhat bigger than Lydon, but somehow, it's hard to believe that she was in contest shape; she lacks hardness, and has more of a slight off-season look. Nevertheless, she's one of the most attractive women WPW has photographed in a long time, and she seems extremely comfortable in front of the camera. Her biceps, chest, and calves are probably her best bodyparts. In addition to the usual WPW posing, Marianna does a few unusual strength moves - a straddle hold on an outdoor light for about a minute and some handstand pushups. She also started to do a "flag", but the tree she was going to use for support didn't seem up to the job. The Extravaganza routines of both women come next, and the tape concludes with Marianna's interview, which runs 15-20 minutes.
In many respects, this tape has the feel of a mid-80's production, as both women are very attractive, but neither is either highly ripped or extremely massive. Consequently, this tape would be a good choice if you prefer the more attractive, but less muscular women; if you want state of the art muscularity, look elsewhere.
