Marissa Brown had been competing successfully in local northwestern US contests and in 1988 she started hitting the national contests. She is very strong, so in 1987 she was invited to compete in the first Women’s Extravaganza Strength Contest, and we did our first video session with her at that time – a year later, we did more work with her at the time of the 1988 Nationals, and both sessions are on this DVD. You think Bethany Howlett was good as a 20 year old? Well, check out Marissa’s physique – at 5’6” and 160 pounds, she was way ahead of her time for someone who was 20-21 years old for these video sessions. She was known for her awesome biceps, triceps, back, chest, abs and calve shots…her thighs were very muscular and hard, and it was all topped off by remarkable facial beauty and glamorous hair. Marissa had some high placings in the top shows, though never won so she never had a pro career, and faded from the scene nearly as quickly as she entered it. Video/DVD runs about 2 hours.
WPW 84:. Marissa was a top regional star in the mid-1980s, then traveled to New Jersey to compete in the 1987 Extravaganza Bodybuilding contest, winning that show and becoming a force nationally. We had our session with her at this time- no gymwork but lots of posing in swimsuits and dresses- she was not ripped, but showed off some of the best muscle size and shapes of the era. An interview also included. This entire video is now on 106, which contains our 1988 session with Marissa as well.
