This was the first contest we ever taped and nearly all of it is actually very good quality. Wally Boyko promoted this, and the 'Strength Expo' contests, and we taped several of them until the time that the Extravaganza Strength Shows were held in New Jersey starting in 1987. Women competing in the strength show included Sue Ann McKean, Karen Meade, Deanna Panting, "Pillow", Joan Wood, Vicki Steenrod, Sally Sims and Gail Murphy. The lifts include the battery hold, 45 pound plate carry with 'pinch grip', dumbbell carry, beer keg lift, bench press and tug-of-war. The bodybuilding event featured, among others, Rose Byrnes, Chris Porter, Marsha Hall-Radford, Michelle Thomas, Peggy Bertelsen and Doughdee Marie. Also in the bodybuilding show was 17 year old Claire Bullis, who is still competing at a very high level in 2010 as Claire Rohrbacker! Also, there was a couple's event (man and woman pose together). And, in addition, check out these guest posers- Kay Baxter, Sue Ann McKean, Carla Dunlap, Lesley Kozlow, Tina Plakinger and Diana Dennis. This is a 3 DVD set, running a total of almost 5 hours. The strength show and bodybuilding finals are on two of the DVDs- the third features the bodybuilding prejudging only- the picture quality is good, but there are some 'bad edits' as we didn't really know what we were doing yet. However, the historical value of including this is very worthwhile. Video runs about 5 hours.
