Did anyone mention Fitness Babes-Extreme Fitness & Pumpitup's Female Muscle? They were my favorites back in the day. Some people were allegedly abusing Fitness Babes so they continued without photos, just a forum. G W M is the cat's meow these days.
Thank you for mentioning Pumpitup's Female Muscle. I actually ran that blog from the 1990s, started on Tripod , then moved to Blogspot in 2006, blog is still up but stopped posted a few years or so ago. I just felt with GMW emerging and Instagram meant there were better sources at the time for people to find their own pics. Like other veterans, I started out with Diana The Valkyrie and the couple of Newsgroups/usenets in the 90s and plenty different sites in between. Back in the day , before Google was born, you also had to navigate the Geocities network for various galleries.
Wow throw back looking at what people did AMG lite , Diana valks so nostalgic, I'm sure there was one like herlegs too or something, then youtube, I used to be in love with Moorea Wolfe and Cindy phillips, then there was buying the excersise magazines from the petrol station lol, but hands down since gwm site came around this was my main source from the day I discovered it. Many years ago now, I'm 35 been obsessed with Muscle girls for as long as I can remember.
Women of wrestling.com for Torrie Wilson, Christi Wolfe, Chyna, Jackie, etc etc.
Those were the days when women had their own pages too. Steph Park (seemed massive at the time) and Connie Garner had a good sites.
Yahoo had some groups that were solid.
I'm sure there are other GeoCities pages I've forgotten.
I will always have a warm spot for Diana the Valkyrie. The message boards, the chat room, I felt among friends. Being an older guy, I grew up when muscles on girls was absolutely TABOO! Finding a place to share thoughts with others on our passion for Femuscle, was amazing.
From there it was her biceps.com. I also loved their forums/message boards. Sadly many of the incredible women they featured, are no longer available. Kim Kilper, Dara Trager, Cindy Phillips, Stephanie Parks, Elena Seiple and so many other muscle starlets. I will also include FemFlex.com. Two treasure troves of female muscle.
I guess I'm showing my age here, but the newsgroups, called usenet I think was my goto before I discovered Diana the Valkyrie.
I'm with you there. I it was alt.amazon-women.admirers back before websites really existed. It was originally a tall women news group, but quickly turned into a female muscle thing. I think Jim Woodward, who started it, was married to a very tall woman.
BTW, if it is still here on GWM, there was a great thread in the forums where Tre Scott gave us a terrific history of how Herbiceps, DTV, and other websites got started and the folks who ran them (including himself). Great reading. :)
I think that Saradas and AMG-Lite are the most accessed from 2007 to 2012 for images, in my case. And for videos, at the same time, Dailymotion, for sure. And the most recent years, from 2017 to 2020, PH for videos, definitely.
I think Diana the Valkyrie was the go-to for most of us. The seemingly endless links and scrolling. Builtmore was a good video source. Boomerflrx, Femflex, Awefilms...I spent my fair share off and on memberships since the beginning with AOL dial-up. Waiting patiently for that 150kb image to load, one line at a time.
Yep. D of V was the gateway drug as far as Internet. Though the Gen X and older guys like me cut their teeth pre-Internet with Women's Physique World magazine and VHS tapes from WPW, Premier Productions, Builtmore, Mass Muscle etc. The Internet changed everything obviously. Mostly for the better, though I have to say a lot of the pay video clips now are pretty disappointing.
The quality is 1000 times better than lousy VHS, but I definitely miss being able to get 60-90 minute videos of endless posing in different outfits with no goofy camera angles or special effects of stupid editing tricks. Mixed wrestling videos back then were better too. You'd get 30-60 minutes of everything you can think of, lift and carry, wrestling, arm wrestling, posing.
Now it's like 3-4 minutes of crap mostly. I'm not going to name the number one offender, you all know who it is. Access to the most amazing muscle girls but barely scratching the surface of potential sadly. But I guess it works because guys are buying it. Mostly younger dudes who don't know what they missed I guess.
There was also a time when ESPN aired full length female bodybuilding contests. Was always worth a new VHS tape. :)
I'm with you there. I it was alt.amazon-women.admirers back before websites really existed. It was originally a tall women news group, but quickly turned into a female muscle thing. I think Jim Woodward, who started it, was married to a very tall woman.
I subscribed to a service that would download all of the images from the newsgroups, like alt.amazon-women, and you wouldn't have to scroll through all of the crap to find them. Very convenient, especially considering the amazon-women newsgroup contained the most insatiable, insufferable troll I've ever encountered, a guy who called himself Dr. Arm. I swear he spent every waking moment being a complete ass in that group. He killed it for me.
The trolls abounded. I got really bugged when they ran off the few FBB's who joined us on AAWA. :(
before gwm, I didn't even browse websites. I used newsgroup/bulletin boards. There was one that was called alt.amazon-women-admirers if I remember correctly.
Unrealmuscle.com
The closest to this site, but more fun. But it was probably the era, not the site itself.
Word Kevin! That was a blast of a site and I hate that its gone.
Unrealmuscle, AMG, Awefilms, Diana, Muscles of Dee Kay is a good aggregation site.
In the mid to late 2000's, John Stutz Photography was one of my go-to's: http://www.johnstutz.com/portfolio.asp
