Picture Perfect
Having gone into a bit more detail than originally intended with last week's Summer Break @NPC USAs posts, I find myself playing catch-up. No time for very much at all, I'm afraid, so this week I'm having to go a bit PumpItUp - one picture every day.
One perfect picture.

Joanna Wilson
The very sad news that Physique competitor Joanna Wilson had passed away before the contest overshadowed this year's NPC USAs. According to the Krivs Studios blog, Friends related over Facebook that Joanna had been battling a case of pneumonia in recent weeks. Nevertheless, she was determined to compete this past weekend. Joanna flew to Las Vegas, but her health turned tragically for the worse.
Perhaps even more sadly, her death was followed by all kinds of ridiculous speculation about its causes. Every YouTube meathead with a product to plug was telling their followers all about the dangers of this and that during contest prep, jumping to all kinds of conclusions, showing no respect for her devastated family and friends.
Meanwhile, however, tributes from those who knew her personally and fans who followed her career spoke of a sweet, inspirational woman, and a GoFundMe page was set up to help those she'd left behind through this most difficult of times.
Joanna Wilson was a huge inspiration to many in our community as well as others across the world, reads the tribute there. She genuinely believed in you, encouraging you to believe in yourself. She pushed you to strive to your full potential both in the gym as well as outside the gym. She was an amazing wife as well as mother to two kids. While in Las Vegas with her family and friends, she passed away due to health complications. This campaign was set up to support the heartbroken family. All proceeds will go directly to the family. Thank you. Help spread the word.
In a career that spanned almost a decade, Joanna competed in Figure, Bodybuilding and, most recently, Physique, with the high point probably coming at the 2010 Emerald Cup where she won her class and the overall Bodybuilding title. She was a loving wife and mother and everyone who knew her loved her, reads the brief tribute on the contest's Facebook page. Our bodybuilding community grieves her loss.
Tributes and condolences to Joanna's family and friends have also been paid across the female muscle lovin' fan forums, with genuine shock and sadness at this tragic news and genuine anger at how others have made so many assumptions. She will clearly be missed by all of those she knew and many, including myself, who she did not.
I'm no Victoria Secret Model, but I'm pretty sure I could pick one up and squat her.

Summer Break @NPC USAs
In the past, FMS has tended to close up shop for weeks over the summer, usually during August. We've tried not to leave you FMS-less on those occasions, and have consequently come up with ideas like Legs Month, August Picture Post, and, last year, While the Slave's Away to tide you over while we're sunning ourselves.
This year we're not shutting up the offices for one long holiday but a series of shorter breaks, but our commitment to give you at least one stunning example of female muscle heat to look at every day remains. So this year it's Summer Breaks, and part deux reviews the recent NPC USAs. We hope you enjoy our selections.
JESSICA MCKENZIE CLOSES IN
I'm proud to announce I was the 2nd place runner-up at the 2016 NPC USA Championships, Light Heavyweight, announced FMS fave Jessica McKenzie, clearly satisfied with her weekend. I brought my BEST package ever & I'm slowly closing in on my IFBB Pro Card. Now, I agree 100% that this was Jessica's best ever package, and I'm very very happy that the very very gorgeous Jessica is happy BUT...
On the left, the winner. On the right, the runner-up. REALLY?!
Can anyone enlighten me as to WHY? I've looked and looked and tried and tried to understand, I really have. And for the life of me I just can't see what it was the judges saw that placed Jessica 2nd. Can you see it? Can anyone explain the result to me?
I'll say no more on the subject. Jessica, as far as I'm concerned, pretty much always looks glorious, and in the build-up to the USAs, I thought she was looking even more glorious than usual. A month before the show she had triumphed at the NPC Europa in Charlotte - some judges get it right - looking magnificent, breathtaking.
Luckily for her, Jessica doesn't place as much emphasis on her results as maybe I do! For her it's all about the process. Her body is her "canvas", the gym is her "lab".
I have been blessed with the gift and passion for competing, she says. Everyday I strive to be a better athlete, a better "Me". The sport of Bodybuilding allows me to continue perfecting my craft while inspiring and motivating others in the process.
What a woman, what a LADY she is!
Jessica's Instagram is compulsory. Swoon long, swoon hard amigos!

We've tried not to leave you FMS-less on those occasions, and have consequently come up with ideas like Legs Month, August Picture Post, and, last year, While the Slave's Away to tide you over while we're sunning ourselves.

So this year it's Summer Breaks, and part deux reviews the recent NPC USAs. We hope you enjoy our selections.
AU NATUREL
And for our final individual Physique athlete from the recent NPC USAs, FMS has picked a young woman who finished way down in the placings but keeps going up and up in our estimation. Say hello to Kristin Abhold, 7th in the "B" class.
Yesterday we noted how Kathy Garza lights up NPC News Online's backstage edit from the show, and we could have said the same for Kristin as she pumps up her arms, and then later in the clip does a little posing. Her cuteness factor is off the scale hot, notes one fan on the forums, though I bet you've probably already noticed that.
Kristin began as a Figure athlete, competing in (and winning) her first show in 2013. She stayed with Figure and natural bodybuilding federations initially and then switched to the NPC in 2014 at the Idaho Muscle Classic, finishing 2nd.
Kristin @Night of Champions 2015
Last year saw her switch to Physique and start getting noticed by fans and female muscle sites alike. After finishing 6th at the Emerald Cup, she returned to the Idaho Classic won the Women's Physique title, and then followed that up with a 2nd place at the NPC Night of Champions in October. Shoots with HerBiceps and a sudden rush of Kristin candids and selfies appearing on the forums followed. How has this stunning, understated beauty not caught my attention before? wondered one fan.
She's on the collective radar now for sure.
Check out Kristin's Instagram and/or Facebook Athlete Page. An interview with her before the finals at her first show in 2013 is worth a look if you want to know more about Kristin's life before muscle and for the effect her "stunning, understated beauty" has on the man with the mic, who works himself up into quite a frenzy! And if you're Idaho and need some motorcycle clothes, why not drop by and see a specialist at High Desert Harley-Davidson in Meridian. She's a stunning, understated beauty they say!
Not coming home with any hardware, Kristin said after the show, but I had a great experience on the national stage this weekend. I know what I need to improve on and I'm not intimidated by the work that needs to be done. Bring it on!
Enjoy!

So this year it's Summer Breaks, and part deux reviews the recent NPC USAs. We hope you enjoy our selections.
SWELL DIGS
Sadly it's not possible to feature all the wonderful Physique women who impressed at the USAs this year, but today we bring you a personal selection of nine of them.
Arlin Mossholder
Winner, Class A
Originally from Puerto Rico, Arlin didn't have to travel far for the show as she resides in Las Vegas. She's also known as Arlin Rodriguez, and it seems she's been around a while (the research team found pictures of her from as far back as 2011). Part of Sierra Magnus' training group, she took first place in the shortest of the four classes. You deserve this more than anyone I know, said Coach Sierra after her win. I'm mostly glad that this weekend showed you just how much you belong in this sport.
Arlin's on Facebook and Instagram.
Christina Buffington
3rd, Class A
It's not often the worlds of Crossfit and competitive bodybuilding converge, but the 31-year-old Christina Buffington is one Crossfit coach who doesn't mind putting on a sparkly posing suit and showing off all her hard-earned muscles on stage.
Christy (as she's more commonly known) is on Instagram, and as well as Crossfit and Physique, she's a qualified to teach Gymnastics and Power Lifting (though probably not at the same time), and is a keen snowboarder and trail runner. Phew!
Tia-Marie Hamilton
4th, Class A
Noted on one of the forums as referring to herself as a "trophy wife", which hardly suggests she is the modest type, Tia-Marie got some fanboy attention towards the end of last year around the time she was finishing 5th in her class at the NPC Nationals for some rather arresting close-up shots of her abs and overall "phenomenal sex appeal".
Images of her at the USAs certainly seem to confirm that assessment. There's a real glint in those deep dark eyes - check the triceps pose in particular, she's enjoying having her body examined while in that position I would say. Hot hot HOT!
Follow the sizzling "trophy wife" on Instagram.
Rachel Gilmore
6th, Class A
Recently, a reader accused FMS of "only liking the pretty ones". Well, I ain't about to apologise for that, and I'm afraid that reader's going to have to put up with a few more of those beauties today, none of them more beautiful than Washington state stunner Rachel Gilmore, the last of our picks from the shortest "A" Physique class.
In my defence, it never seems to be the case that these women are just a pretty face, and Rachel is no exception to that rule. Not only does she own her own business - Prestige Nutrition and Fitness - but she's also extremely thoughtful and eloquent about, for example, the process of competing, and its emotional aftermath. You can read some of her thoughts about that here, just one of the many interesting comments this gorgeous woman has put onto her Instagram. And Rachel's also on Facebook.
Carli Terepka
5th, Class C
And here's another of those "pretty ones", 2016 NPC South Carolina Physique champion Carli Terepka, who finished 5th in her class at her first ever national level show. This is the best I've ever looked in the 15 competitions I've done, said Carli afterwards. The girls in my class were phenomenal and I'm glad I held my own.
She also got to meet Nicole Wilkins. And she got to flex at Caesar's Palace looking downright freaky if I may say so. I'm in a world of my own, says this student nurse.
Check out that world on Instagram.
Kathy Garza
4th, Class C
After about a minute ten of NPC News Online's backstage video from the contest, Kathy Garza positively lights up the screen. Since the show itself she's been shot by Mr Annie Rivieccio, and the fan forums have lit up for her. She is simply gorgeous, they say, my new crush. I'm in love with her arms, she's pure perfection...
Kathy appears to have come from nowhere to win the Texas State championship last year. And though only 4th in her class at her first attempt at a national level contest, there were many left scratching their heads (perhaps among other things?!) and wondering what the judges were looking for and why she didn't place higher.
She's got a few posts on her Instagram. And star quality.
Joella Bernard
3rd, Class D
I wonder if Joella Bernard is maybe thinking she should have stuck with the Female Bodybuilding division for just one more year. Having competed as an FBB for (at least) a decade, she made the switch to Physique at the NPC Contra Costa Championships in May this year, and ended up here in a Physique class that had more competitors in it than all the FBBing classes put together. Perhaps Joella is wondering if she'd stuck with her original division she might just be looking at her pro card right now...
She certainly looks every inch the bodybuilder, and even managed a close-fisted double biceps pose - force of habit perhaps - and a mini-most muscular that displays her incredible pecs at their magnificent vein-strewn best. This was her fourth consecutive NPC USA appearance, and the third consecutive time she had finished in the top 3 of her class. The last two times that class has been Heavyweight Bodybuilding. I wonder whether the next time she competes whether it would be better for her to return to the division she knows best. But what do I know?
Muscle (& HAIR!): Joella Bernard, bodybuilder, 2012 @NPC Nationals & 2013-15 @NPC USAs
Joella, a registered nurse, has no social media presence at all apart from a "Star Now" page that doesn't seem to have been updated in the last five years. Still, it does tell us that as an actor she appeared in The Life of MC Hammer, which is some claim to fame! You can, however, find a couple of nice clips of her backstage on the USA Muscle Women YouTube channel. One from way back in 2007, and another from 2010.
Jennika Hill
6th, Class D
Compare, if you will, on your left, Jennika Hill circa 2014, and Jennika Hill v.2016, on your right. She has gotten significantly larger, notes one eagle-eyed fan.
I wonder if, like Joella Bernard, Jennika was not regretting the fact that she didn't decide to compete as a Bodybuilder here. It was certainly in her thoughts during the off season after she'd found her 7th place here last year difficult to stomach. I have always competed in WPD, she syas on her Team HerBiceps page, but now with me growing, making my off season weight 200lbs, I might be doing Women's Bodybuilding. As I get closer to showtime, we’ll see what division I end up in.
There are those, you know the type, who complain about the tats. "All those beautiful muscles covered in that ugly ink blah blah..." Well, if you can't see Jennika's meaty muscles, my friend, then like the advert says, you should've gone to Specsavers.
Jamie Tirabasso
2nd, Class D
And finally, the "D" class runner-up, new IFBB pro Jamie Tirabasso.
Figure, NPC USAs 2014, & Physique, NPC USAs 2015
And what a sight she is! With all the wondering about Joella and Jennika and whether they should have stayed/switched to FBBing, it's nice to end with Jamie, who made the switch up from Figure at last year's NPC USAs. She was 3rd then, went one better this time, and will soon (I hope) be lining up that magnificent chassis against the pros.
If you think Jamie looks like she might be tall here (the "D" class is the tallest class anyway) then rest assured, it's not an optical illusion conjured up by her wondrous proportions. Those legs really are that long. Check out this 2014 interview - unless Tammi Bradford is 4ft tall, Jamie must be an Amazonian 6ft at least!!! And remember, this was about a year before she "went Physique". *SWOON!*
Damn! Here I am, getting ready to go away, supposedly banging out a bunch of quick posts to keep you going for the next week and I get all excited and carried away and the next thing I know I've come up with a bloody mega-post for your viewing pleasure!
What was it I was saying the other week about obsession...?
