Mistie Lopez: The Muscle Barbie You NEED To Know

There are women that come out of nowhere that capture the attention of folks. One such woman that has taken social media (more specifically Instagram) by storm is Mistie Lopez. Mistie has been in the game for a while on the competition side of things since 2019, winning the NPC Steve Kuclo Classic Overall Figure title and would go on to win her pro card last year at the NPC Nationals, winning her class (Class G) in figure. She has spent 2023 putting on some serious size in hopes of doing well in the pro rankings whenever she decides to make her debut.

Despite her competing since 2019, she has not had a social media presence…until about 5 or so months ago when she joined Instagram. When I followed her, she had a little over 1,000 followers. As of this writing, she now has over 8,000 followers and will probably reach 10,000 by years end. Her popularity has skyrocketed out of nowhere thanks to her amazing size and power, love for flexing, insane strength, and commanding overall beauty. The way she loves to flex, we feel it’s only a matter of time before she joins a paysite and gets some money for her flexing. She’s got the look that can make her and female muscle paysites a lot of money.

We don’t know what the future holds for Mistie Lopez, but if her social media rise is any indication, her future is a bright one and it’s only going to get brighter. If you are into tall blonde women with massive muscles and a serious love for flexing, Mistie is the girl for you.

VIDEO REVIEW: Katelyn Winkler: Beast Mode

Photo credit: HerBiceps.com

I was gonna wait until after the holidays were over for 2023 to get this video, but I thought…hell, it’s the holiday season so I’d thought I’d treat MYSELF to something awesome, and I definitely did that with the latest video by rising superstar Katelyn Winkler. Katelyn has had quite a bit of videos on HerBiceps over the last couple of years (I got her first one Project Runway, which I’ll do a review on as well as it was a nice introduction to her).

The video does a small introduction to what she does for the video which is working out her body with some flexing in between. Very little talking in here and no background music (outside of the first few seconds) so we get her in her element. After a quick (and I mean QUICK) talk about her arm-wrestling past, we get right into her working out. She begins with a couple of chest exercises

 and poses after each workout. Her form and concentration is a big reason why she has one of the best side chest poses in the industry today. While she definitely shows off her pecs, sadly there is no pec bouncing in this video. Personally I hope there IS some in the very near future. She definitely has the muscle for it!

After briefly talking about liking to train her biceps, she goes right into a couple of bicep exercises with plenty of posing in between. Her arms get more vascular and bigger with every rep she does. After working out her biceps, she does a short posing session, showing off her biceps, triceps, pecs, and abs. Just so you know, her side chest pose is top-tier, whether women’s physique-style or bodybuilding-style. If you haven’t figured it out by now, Katelyn LOVES to flex, and she’s not shy about it whatsoever. After the quick posing session, she goes to working on her triceps and posing afterwards. She does some quad work afterwards. While I personally wished she had wore shorts because her legs are pretty good, you can still see her developed her legs are in tights. She does delt/shoulder work and some after-workout posing to end the near 10-minute video.

This is a must-get for any Katelyn Winkler fan and for anyone who’s a fan of ridiculously beautiful muscular women. This video is less than 10 dollars and to me, it’s worth it and them some. I hope Katelyn works with HerBiceps again in 2024 and I REALLY hope we get some muscle control (especially pec bouncing and bicep bouncing) from her in 2024 as well. She’s got the look to be a fan favorite for years to come.

VIDEO REVIEW: Tanya Chartrand 2021 (FTVideo)

You're gonna want to own this if you haven't already. Trust us.

We have meant to have posted this review a while ago, but...life happens. Better late than never, right?! We will be doing more video reviews quite a bit in 2022 if things go well. These clip reviews will NOT be rated by a star rating. We'll just be explaining the video and telling you what we like and didn't like about it and let you decide if you want to get it for yourself.

Our first video review is the Tanya Chartrand 2021 video from FTVideo. The video runs 13 minutes and 39 seconds and not a single second is wasted. Tanya is in contest shape, so right out of the gate you know you will get her as her absoulte best as far as muscle shape, size, and condititioning goes. She gets straight into the flexing with her impressive arms, especially biceps. For the first minuite and a half, it's plenty of biceps flexing. And then she gets to her pecs and...WOW...if you are a pec bouncing fan and do NOT have this clip, I don't know what to say to you. There is a TON of pec bouncing in this clip, I would say at LEAAST close to 50% of the clip is pec bouncing. The other muscles are displayed as well throughout the video (abs, quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves) before hitting more intense pec bouncing and a most muscular to end this amazing clip.

It will take you a while to get through this video because you won't make it to the end of it...if you catch my drift (and if you do No Nut November, I'd highly suggest you wait until Wednesday to get this video...or get ready to lose.) Personally, we couldn't find anything wrong with the clip except we would have loved to see her showcase her back a bit more. But besides that...defintely worth paying $10 for it. I personally would have paid more, it's THAT good!

Christine Pomponio: Muscles and Curves

ALL PHOTOS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS

Ultimate Hardbods loves to feature some of the hottest women in the bodybuilding industry from the past, present, and future. We definitely love to showcase those that for some reason may have not been given the props they deserved back in the day. We want to talk about a woman that had during her competition days some of the best combination of muscle and curves (better known as murves) we've ever seen on a competitor: one of the first ladies of the figure division, Christine Pomponio.

She may be only five foot one but you wouldn't know it at first glance as her physique more than held her own with competitors taller than her, bringing in a full, defined physique with strong legs developed by her socccer days and some insane defined delts that wouldn't look out of place with today's figure division. BUT...let's be honest...along with her great physique, she had one hell of a massive chest on her. But they didn't just stay still...they tended to flex on stage, giving her quite the illusion. Now whether she meant to do it or her chest was that strong that it just happened...we don't know, and frankly...it doesn't matter. It's amazing to look at regardless. Check out some photos below to see what we're talking about. There are a FEW competitors that can do that now, but none like Christine did back in the day. 

The biggest regret we have during her time as a competitor is that she didn't do shoots with paysites. In our honest opinion, she would have brought in the dough big time with her look and her following would have grown tremendously. But it's great that her look was favorable as a competitor, as she competed in multiple contests including the Arnold and Olympia, placing in the top 6 in most of her shows as a pro, including winning the 2005 and 2006 California Pro. Her career came to an abrupt halt in 2007 as she became a mother for the first time in her life and a few years later would give birth to twins. After her first child, she did a couple of shoots with Marc Thyssen and got in such great shape both times, one would have thought she was ready to compete again! She also did a couple of shoots after the birth of her twins, and again...was able to rebound with a great look. Her recent commercial for Granite Depot will make you do a double take...like does she EVER age?! The correct answer is ABSOUUTELY NOT! 

In our honest opinion, she is the measuring stick for short figure competitors who want to succeed but feel they won't due to their height. And with all these returns that have been happening in the bodybuilding world, one can wonder...what if Christine decides to grace us again on stage or with more photoshoots, maybe in the paysite department. What if she ever does a Onlyfans and REALLY gives us a great look at one of the hottest women in figure history?! Like with all things...never say never!

The New Look of HerBiceps

New look, new logo, new name!
Credit to HerBicpes for the photo

For what has felt like year, the team of HerBiceps has talked about creating a massive new website that they feel will be a revolutionary site for the female muscle world. With the various amount of sites out there and those trying to get their own sites up, words just couldn't be words when it comes to their site launch. On June 27, 2019, after months (going on years) of hard work and preparation, they did a soft launch of HerBicepsPlus. Now HerBicepsPlus has completely overtaken their previous site, and in my honest opinion, they held up to their promise of a game-changing site and then some. There is something for everyone there at the new HerBiceps.

You can create a free account and be able to view photos and some videos, as well as a previes of video-on-demand, or VOD for short. The free videos are definitely not too shabby, but if you want to see the best of the shoots, you will have to pay a subscription fee for them. You can pay $14.95 a month, but if you plan on being on the site for a while (and honestly, you probably will), it's cheaper to go the six-month route or yearly route. You can pay $69.99 for six months (which is a savings of $19.71 on the monthly plan) or you can pay $99.99 for an entire year (which is a savings of $79.41 on the monthly plan) Being a Plus member definitely has its advantages of more than just checking out more videos. As a Plus member, not only do you get exclusive photos and videos, you get the highest definition video (1080p), the option to download content for offline viewing, 20% discount on all VODs, and the ability to leave comments and ratings. The models are a great selection, from old HerBiceps favorites such as Jennifer Cowan, Jodi Miller, and Mindi O'Brien to new talent such as Alicia Bell, Natalia Coelho, and Ashley Soto, as well as some of their webcam stars such as NoahTrapQueen, Rach White, and Kristina Moser.

The new HerBiceps is definitely worth your time and investment whether you are a past HerBiceps subscriber or new to female physique paysites. To check out the new HerBiceps.com for yourself and create an account, go to http://www.herbiceps.com.

Paysite Spotlight: FemaleCityFlex

If you are looking for a paysite that focuses on mostly international flavor, look no further than FemaleCityFlex. It doesn't have as many models on there as sites like HerBiceps, KrivsStudios, MuscleTease, and MuscleAngels (YET), but what it lacks in quantity more than makes up for quality. Models come Canada, Germany, Brazil, Croatia, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, and more, with a least a couple out of the United States. Some of the models include Cris Goy, Monica Martin, Flory, Susanna Tirpik, Alana Shipp, Robin Dees, Modesta Halby, and more, with more models being added monthly it seems.

You can view all the models here: http://www.femalecityflex.com/models.htm

You will easily get your money's worth with their video format. They don't do photo galleries just video, so they can keep their prices pretty reasonable. It's $17.95 for 30 days and $17.95 a month after those 30 days. Clips range from 3 to 6 minutes, in WMV format, and they are in full HD, so you can see the women the way they were meant to be seen. The members area is updated at least three times a week, so even if you are part of the group for a month, you will get plenty of new content regardless of how long you are a member of FemaleCityFlex. While it's not as popular as the others right now, don't sleep on this site. It is definitely worth your time and money to check it out.

Female Muscle Webcamming

Physique competitions are the ultimate way of showcasing weeks worth of training into a physique that is out-of-this-world. But let's be honest...competing is EXPENSIVE. And very few competitors make a living by pure competition, and by very few...we mean VERY FEW. They make most of their money in the business by getting modeling jobs, either via magazines or paysites, as well as sponsorships with clothing and supplement companies.

What we've been noticing however, is that more and more competitors these days are going into the webcamming industry. A lot go to webcamming because they can (for the most part) set their own hours and boundaries on when they flex, where they flex, and HOW they flex. Some do the basic, typical flexing (biceps, triceps, quads, abs) while others go a bit further and do some muscle control (pec bouncing, bicep bouncing, glute bouncing, ab rolls, quad shaking/bouncing, etc....we'll talk more about THAT type of flexing in a future post). Some competitors like to do a bit of role-playing (acting as nurses, teachers, schoolgirls, etc) to make them stand out about others. And obviously, there is those that will go all the way (nudity, hardcore, pornograpy, etc.)

A lot of these webcammers have nicknames to keep their identities unknown to the public in the event they have lives outside of webcamming, and some of them do. They MIGHT post their contact info if they want to do private or one-on-one sessions, but rarely will they ever post their full names, which in all fairness it's really no one's business to know what it is or ask for it. It's done for a reason. Anyone that does such a thing needs to be reported in our honest opinion as it's a private matter than can result in serious consequences down the road. If you know who they are, keep it to yourselves. Don't expose it for the world to see unless they have no issue with it. Also, if you are in a free room, don't ask for a flex unless you are willing to tip. They can't stand beggers or freeloaders, and I don't blame them one bit. Again, they are doing webcam to make MONEY. Remember that. Now, if you are acting within the rules and they are being jerks themselves, contact the main people running the webcam ASAP and they will fix the issue. The webcam runners gotta make money as well, and unruly models do not equal money...for anyone. If any woman who wants to webcam has a bad attitude, it's best not to do webcam.

While we covered HerBicepsCam in detail a while back, there are others out there such as Buffycams (http://www.buffycams.com), Female Muscle Webcams (http://www.ilovefemalemuscle.com/webcams), and Muscle Girlz Live (http://www.musclegirlzlive.com). We didn't name them all, but those are just those we are familiar with right now.
