Muscletease: Home of the Hand Bra

Nowadays, hand bra selfies are two-a-penny, but in the early days of the internet, they were extremely rare. However, from about 2005, there was Muscletease. Its creator, female muscle photography legend Juan Carlos Lopez, made the style (in Muscletease-speak, 'implied topless') one of the trademarks of the site and through his work there and on his free online magazine Hardfitness, the hand bra made a mighty comeback.

Casey Brocato, 2008

As well as some of the more famous fitness and figure athletes like Tara Scotti or Mindi O'Brien, Muscletease featured many women that were new to this ex-member. I've chosen Casey Brocato, who competed in figure from 2008ish to 2010, as an example. A second place in her class at the 2010 NPC USAs was her highest finish and as far as I know she never turned pro. A word of warning if these images whet your appetite for more of her - there is now an over-35 MALE physique athlete with the same name. Refine your search if you want to avoid an unpleasant shock!

Heather Green, 2006

One of the most memorable sets from my first (of a few) times as a Muscletease member was this one of the mouth-watering figure competitor Heather Green, who turned pro the year after these were taken. Now competing in the WBFF physique division, you might want to reconnect with Heather via her Twitter.

Outfits: It is up to the model to bring her own clothing. Bring at least three different outfits you can use. Preference is swimsuits, skirts, gym wear, heels, contest suits. If you are in contest shape it is best to go with swimsuits mostly. Optionally I can provide swimsuits as well but they will be smaller and much sexier usually from Colleen Kelly Designs, DreamGirl, Wicked Temptations etc.

Juliana Malacarne, 2007

With over 30 photo sets still listed there, Juliana must be one of the Muscletease's most photographed models, if not the most photographed. I'm pretty sure the site introduced me to Juliana, and if that were the only reason I had to be grateful to Juan Carlos Lopez, I wouldn't need another. For Juliana at least, the introduction of the physique division heralded the most successful period of her career so far, and now pushing 40 (if she isn't there already) La Malacarne seems, like a fine wine, to be getting better and better with age.

Karen Zaremba, 2005

This set of FMS Abs Queen Karen Zaremba ('Blue Bed' is its title, and there are five parts!) is, I suspect, as familiar to female muscle heads as any of the most renowned sets from WPW, HerBiceps or any other female muscle photo site you care to mention. The images will be 10 years old next year, but Lopez still uses these pics all over Muscletease and Hardfitness as examples of his work, and I don't blame him. Classic stuff. What was I saying about iconic female muscle photography the other day...?

As well as on Muscletease and Hardfitness, you can keep up with the work of Juan Carlos Lopez via Twitter, and the Hardfitness Facebook page.

Enjoy!

Abs Queens

KAREN ZAREMBA
















There's no longer-running female muscle blog from the UK than PumpItUp, and, if you've ever spent a bit of time there, you'll be well aware that PumpItUp knows a great set of abs when he sees one. So FMS is delighted to add one of our hero's personal favourites, as well as the favourite of several other readers, to our list of Abs Queens.



Karen's name always seems to come up when a female muscle head starts a discussion along the lines of 'Who has the best abs ever?' despite her physique being more figure than bodybuilding. I guess there is just something so aesthetically pleasing about her eight-pack that even the most hardened fans of the 'big girls' have to admit, in the abs department at least, Karen was and will always be, one of the greats. I think my abs are my best body part, she once said. It's impossible to disagree.



Her motivation was the contest. I enjoy everything about training for a competition, she said. I set goals for myself and like the challenge of reaching those goals. I get a thrill out of seeing my body change as I get tighter and leaner with the strict diet. I can't wait to get on stage to show off all my hard work. Hard work that got her a pro card at the 2005 NPC Nationals and which, allied to her good looks, made her, for a while, one of the most sought-after models by female muscle websites. And while she pursued her career as an 'international fitness model' Karen was, like Melinda McNabb, the first of our Abs Queens this week, a mother.



And if Karen was one of your favourites too, you'll probably find a lot more of what you like over at PumpItUp, but in the meantime, here's a little clip of this yummy muscle mummy's magnificent abs at their contest-ready best.

YAXENI ORIQUEN














El Mariachi, another female muscle blogger, and long-time FMS supporter, votes, unsurprisingly, for the woman he pays tribute to more than any other. Although there are many FBBs with abs which are really deep cut, to me, the most perfect and orgasmic abs I've ever ADMIRED still belong to Yax!!! Her abs just make my mouth water, he says. And much more besides no doubt.



We say that you have to hand it to a woman who has been at the top of her sport for so long, competing at the highest level for over fifteen years, and in the the last ten of those consistently finishing in the top three at both the Ms International and Ms Olympia, winning the former five times, and the latter once, in 2005.



And El Mariachi's devotion to 'Yax' has been no less consistent than her contest results. She can probably be sure of two things in this world - she'll finish behind Iris Kyle, and El Mariachi will remain devoted to her. Whether it's via his blog Erotic Female Muscles, or his youtube channel, other women (make him) cum and go, but Yaxeni has always been, and probably will always be, his number one. Yaxeni is ABSolutely spermalicious!!! he says. Take a closer look at her midsection. Each abdominal muscle is so full and so delineated. Love that deep valley cutting through the very lowest part of her abdominal wall. You could lose your car keys in those ab cuts. I would LOVE to play with the ridges of her deeply tanned abs, and run my hands all over to feel their hardness.



So, careful with your car keys, and enjoy El Mariachi's personally edited tribute to Yaxeni's mighty abs, made after the Ms International this year. He describes it as a 30-second orgasm with nothing but our spermalicious Venezuela breed muscle cum queen and her abs in close-up.

Abs Week: Muscular Abs in Motion

Today, a personal selection of gifs with abs from the genius that is responsible for Muscular Girls in Motion on Tumblr.

WARNING! Some of these are just a little bit naughty, so you might not want to scroll down too far if you are at work or another place where you're not completely at ease with images of sexy muscular women showing off their sexy six-packs wearing nothing but the skin they're in.

Firstly, let us never forget that hot abs are the results of hard work.

Next up, Patricia Houston takes a breath that takes my breath away. 

Among other things.

Sara Butler takes her abs seriously...

... but Katka K. and Sarah D. can't stop smiling.

And who can blame them? 

Don't worry, it's not getting naughty just yet.

Now, how about a little wiggle?

You like? I thought you would. 

I'm pretty sure you'll like this too.

And I'm pretty sure this is abs legend Karen Zaremba.

I always find it's best to get oily before you get naughty, don't you?

And there's no one I'd rather get oily with than Oana.

NAUGHTINESS STARTS HERE

If it's Autumn, it's probably naughty...

Gosh that exercise looks like fun!

How does Victoria Dominguez aka Mistress Treasure 

spend her evenings do you think? Like this, probably. 

And finally, the climax of today's post.

Perfection.

Why not drop by Muscular Girls in Motion and give this man (I assume it's a man, anyway) some appreciation and love. He works hard for our viewing pleasure!

Enjoy!

Abs Week: The Best?

Incredible as it seems to me that I have a blog that is now old enough to have established its own tradition, Female Muscle Slave is now just a little over two years’ old. We first brought you Abs Week in 2011, and then last year we had a week of Abs of the Day. So, tradition it is.

Welcome to Abs Week 2013.

And we begin with a question: Who’s the best?

Today FMS offers a selection of favourites to stimulate your thinking. Enjoy!


Perhaps you think your old school favourites have never been bettered and you'll be voting for Christa's cold, hard Deutsch Produkt or Valerie Gangi's Italian(-American) masterpiece midriff...


Delicious Bonnie Priest has always been a particular Swell favourite in the abs stakes. I guess it's true that you never forget your first eight-pack...



Perhaps sir likes them contest ready...



Nothing but ripped, tanned, oiled and flexed will do...


Quantity or quality? It's true that Alina's are probably bigger and better than Elena's, but is it just about the size? Surely the fact that on stage Elena does so much more with her abs counts for something...


Blond abs from Europe or deep tanned and deep cut from America...


Perhaps Karen Zaremba, favourite of many, is a favourite of yours too...


A veritable gorge down the middle, or something more classical...


Freaky vascularity and great slabs of muscle...


Beauty and beautiful abs...


Modern European Abs Queens Gabriella Bankuti and Elena Oana Hreapca...

But do they get your vote?

We want you, dear readers, to answer our question. Let us know who your Abs Queen is, or, if you find it impossible to choose just one (set of sexy abs), don’t limit yourself, and let us know who your Abs Queens are. It's up to you to vote for as few or as many of your favourites as you want.

Or maybe you have a favourite Abs Shot and you’ve never been able to tell or find out who the magnificent midriff belongs to. No problem! Vote for the image itself. Vote for a number of images if you want. Any number. It’s your choice.











Perhaps your Abs Queen(s) isn't (aren't) even real, the product of the imagination of one of the many wonderful female muscle artists like Edinaus, David C. Matthews, Tigersan, blackadder74 or TO, a selection of whose work we see here. Vote for a literally unreal set of abs if you wish.





Comment below or email 6ft1swell@gmail.com. Vote now!

I’ll tally up the votes and, let’s say, around this time next month, I'll post my faves, publish the results and reveal who the 2013 Female Muscle Slave Abs Goddess(es) is (are).

Enjoy! More magnificent mouth-watering muscular midriffs tomorrow...
