http://www.thevalkyrie.com/pics/m/maroldo/mic... Unlike any other Ray Martin video I have ordered, I waited in perpetual high-anxiety for this package to arrive. As a biceps-lover, the sight of Ms. Maroldo creates a Pavlovian drool-response in good ol' Tex. So when I finally slipped this 1998 Ray blockbuster in the VCR, I was afraid premature-ejaculation might be a problem....
RM176 opens with "Millionaire Mike" (he sure doesn't dress like a millionaire) on the phone saying goodbye and best of luck to Christi Wolf. Apparently Ms. Wolf has decided to concentrate on her pro-wrasslin' career and is quitting her job as his spokesFBB. Left with this key position unfilled, Mike calls the marvelous Ms. Maroldo up for an "interview". Michelle (wearing black stretch pants and boots with a sleevless black leather vest appointed by western-style tassles...VA, VA, VOOM!) enters and her muscular form pushes Mike to begin babbling things like, "Gee, I guess you life weights, huh?"...Sherlock Bogen...
After he regains his composure, Dr. Mike has Michelle pose her biceps. Wanting to impress the alluring FBB, Mike tells of his "minor in Forearms" and his "postgraduate studies in Triceps" as she flexes--Dr. M. must be the most educated-schmoo on the planet...I want to attend THAT university! The BIG M examines with the patience and precision of a schmoo-empiricist--one super-close-up is 40 seconds long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... After a frontal assessment of Ms. Maroldo arms, Mike asks the interviewee to show him a few back biceps shots. This perspective gives the million-dollar-schmoo and the viewer a great look at the tremendous peak of Michelle right biceps, prompting the ever-playful Mike to have the lovely powerhouse "pop" the peak up and down as the camera catches every amazing detail with super-close-ups (she flexes that arm for a lengthily-luscious 2:15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... The vision of Michelle crunching her immense biceps skyward causes Mike to temporarily lose touch with reality: "It's got a life of it's own...it does what it (Michelle's biceps) wants to do...". In a dissociative fugue-state, Dr. Bogen leads Ms. Maroldo through biceps, forearm, triceps, and side chest poses. The mass, cuts, hardness and vascularity of Michelle's arms take my schmoo-libido to the point of explosion!!!... http://www.thevalkyrie.com/pics/m/maroldo/mic...
At her potential supervisor's request, the brawny beauty takes off her vest, revealing a brief, black-knit sportsbra--Brandi Chastain eat your heart out! With even more of Michelle to see, the good Doctah watches as she hits a few well-shot side chest poses http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... before he decides it's time for "a couple of fun things"...Mike provides resistance to Michelle's individual biceps flexes then performs several modes of his famous Squeeze Test for Hardness(STH) on Ms. Maroldo's biceps. This entails the BIG M lacing his fingers around the mammoth muscle as it is relaxed and attempting to keep his lucky appendages from moving as Michelle contracts her biceps. http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... Needless to say, he is unsuccessful in hindering the muscle's powerful expansion, babbling words of amazement throughout the t esting procedure. With his brain scrambled and his heart palpitating dangerously, Mike decides he better take a break, asking Michelle to "find something more revealing to wear". However, before she changes, the cardio-vascular-endangered schmoo recommends the beautiful powerhouse "practice a few poses" and the viewer is treated to a lovely exhibition of Ms. Maroldo's scintillating physique before the camera fades to black... http://www.thevalkyrie.com/pics/m/maroldo/mic...
Michelle returns wearing short-short denim cutoffs and a blue men's longsleeve dress shirt. She is "a little chilly"--right...Though the sleeves cover Ms. Maroldo's most important asset, Mike is undeterred because he has studied yet another esoteric subdivision of the Bicepsology PhD degree plan..."Feeling Muscle through Cloth" 101... Dr Mike Bogen, PhD is very interested in the dynamics of the sleeve "Roll-up Effect" for his next New Jersey Journal of Biceps article and asks the gorgeously-muscled babe to roll-up her right sleeve to the elbow. Slowly and sensually, Michelle exposes her huge and vascular forearms....Mmmmmmmmmm...Incrementally, Michelle's sleeve is rolled up as far it will go. Unfortunately, her upper arm is so huge she is unable to get the sleeve rolled up to her deltoid. However, the partially exposed right biceps contracts erotically above the confines of the bunched-sleeve as Ray's camera captures all the action with well-timed super-close-ups! http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... Again, Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....
After collecting sufficient data on the Roll-up Effect (Mike must have used a concealed plethysmograph for his measurements), at the BIG M's urging Michelle takes off the shirt, revealing a gold-string-bikini top underneath. Dr. Mike is so taken with his first unobstructed view of her pecs, http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... he begins babbling once again: "That's a chest...those are pecs...I think that's what they call armor-plated..." http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... After first asking Michelle if she would kick his ass, Mike punches Michelle's dense and striated pecs 8 time s, hitting progressively harder each time. His fist bounced off her rockhard chest like the blows of "a gnat".
Enamored with the manner in which Michelle's pecs were impervious to his punches, Mike pounds Ms. Maroldo's incredible right biceps with his fist SIXTEEN TIMES!!! "Let me ask you a question," Mike asks, "is this really flesh and blood or is it pure stone?" http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... Confidently, Michelle answers, "No...it's all MUSCLE!" Mike really gets into it, but though she tries valiantly, Michelle doesn't really seem to enjoy it. Unfortunately, Mike hits so hard Michelle DOES seem to feel the effect...Realizing he has gone a bit too far, the penitent-but-aroused schmoo suggests Ms. Maroldo hit a few poses. However, he is unable to restrain his impulses and begins caressing her right super-bi. Despite the earlier faux pax, Mike cannot resist the urge to punch Michelle's biceps 3 more times! The out of control schmoo excuses himself yet again and advises the muscular goddess to practice posing. She complies and the viewer is treated to anoth er visual femuscle feast...
Luckily, the Mike "Tyson" Bogen alter-ego recedes and Dr. Mike returns to evaluate the parameters of Ms. Maroldo's muscles. After Mike's nauseatingly familiar song and dance..."Remember, I said I only have the biggest and best?"...Michelle yields the data the bicepsitist desires: 305lbs. bench...315lbs. deadlift...500lbs. squat...over 1000lbs leg press...70lbs. barbell biceps-curl...150lbs. dumbell biceps-curl...all at a bodyweight of 155 lbs.!!! Again the mere thought of this degree of female strength caused Mike's psychopathology to erupt...this time in the form of Delusions of Grandeur: "Remember, the whole galaxy out there...that is looking to me, OK, to provide them with the best in biceps, OK?...So it's exciting to me to know that, uh you know, that altruistically they're going to get that because of you...um, OK..." Inspired and ready to carry on with his almost-divine (in Mike's mind) mission, Dr. Mike pulls out his trusty tape-measure. The results:
****Relaxed right forearm: 13.5"...Mike: "That's bigger than most biceps!"...FLEXED right forearm: 15"...Relaxed left forearm: 13"...FLEXED left forearm: 14.5"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****Dr. Mike Bogen, PhD: "I saved the best for last!"...Relaxed left biceps: 14"...FLEXED left biceps: 16.5"...the BIG M: "Of course, that's the one's that's only, like semi-freaky--and I use that in the best possible sense"......Relaxed right biceps: 14.5"...FLEXED right biceps: 17"...Mike babbles 17", then 17.5" as he's dumbfounded by the femuscle before him...(the confused schmoo later verifies it is 17") http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al...
Deeply-moved by the femuscle spirit, Mikey's hands involuntarily reach for Michelle's biceps, a sign he must test the goddess' strength! "The question becomes...is this...(Michelle flexes a right bi )...17" muscle as strong as it unquestionably looks?" http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... Michelle replies in a cock-sure tone: "Absolutely!" After the standard bluster about how he can beat Michelle because he has greater "muscle maturity" than when he last armwrassled Christi Wolf, the dutiful schmoo armwrassles Michelle five times. Babbling throughout the 10+ minute scene, Mike loses every time as Ray's lens captures the explosive muscle in delicious, super-close-up detail. Ever-resourceful, the BIG M turns every defeat an opportunity to squeeze and caress the flexed biceps of his powerfully-developed opponent. Dr. Mike submits "to the superior armwrestler", but then complains about having to go to the doctor for treatment of his maroldonated a rms as Michelle's biceps pop while she puts her hair into a pony tail..A rough close to this scene...
IT IS TIME!!! Finished with strenuous portion of the interview, Dr. Mike Bogen, PhD, CEO and Chairman of the Board of BOGEN ENTERPRISES grabs a bottle of baby oil and begins to apply his "remedy for tired muscles"..."This is gonna make 'em feel really good!" Mike promises as he tenderly oils Michelle's INCREDIBLE arms...Lovingly he slides his fingers along the hard lines of her massive, peaked right biceps..."It's a good thing we get oil cheap, when you have this much muscle to cover..." Back and forth across the BEST ARMS ON THE PLANET as she contracts them into solid balls of steel. Back and forth...http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... Mmmmm...into the detailed cuts and vascula rity of the underside of her biceps..down the rock-formations jutting into the shape of a horseshoe on her triceps...The entranced schmoo whines, "I hate to tear myself away from this, but...I think your chest needs a little oil-therapy also...from that pounding I gave it before...that didn't phase you at all!" Without further adieu, Mike applies his magic potion to the striated ridges of Michelle's magnificent, natural and "spectacular chest"... and Ray's right there to capture the action with super-close-ups...http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... Over and over Ms. Maroldo's flexed pectorals fill the TV screen with powerfully-erotic muscle...Soon Mike is driven to take 6 bonus punches at Michelle's chest..Next, the wild-eyed schmoo is compelled to visually and tactilly appreciate the New Joisey valkyrie's muscles as the scene concludes with 5:15 of sensual posing and caressing...Mmmmmmmmm...http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al...
When Mike asks, "...how do these muscles look in a dress?", Michelle replies, "Very feminine!" and changes into a bronze and black, spaghetti-strap mini-dress. Eager to please her favorite femuscle-baron, the astoundingly beautiful bodybuilder applies blush and lipstick before beginning to brush her hair. Michelle valiantly tries to look sexy, but in the process reveals the fact she is a novice actress. But there is no mistaking the sexiness of her biceps as she brushes her hair, the peaked-muscles gently rising and falling with the effort. Mike enters off-camera and begins barking posing instructions and the only leg posing of the video follows. http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... The video concludes with yet another 5:00 smorgasbord of incredible poses by Ms. Maroldo...chest...back..biceps...all with super-cose-ups guaranteed to make a schmoo stand up and take notice! This formula finish ends with Mike giving Michelle the job and a salary that will allow her to retire in two years...Oh that Millionaire Mike..... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PERFORMANCES: Michelle Maroldo HAS the " Best Arms on the Planet"! The peak of her massive, softball-size right biceps is the best of all time for an arm with Michelle's significant mass...Her sexy mane of long, thick, luxuriant strawberry blonde hair (that's not a Ray wig, is it?) http://suzie.thevalkyrie.com/news/newsfast/al... contrasts erotically with the hard, rippling muscle of her power-packed shoulders, back and arms!...From a thespian perspective, Michelle is definitely a novice. However, she is positive and enthusiastic through 90 minutes of Mike's babbling and semi-assaultive behavior...I am hoping she will improve a la Annie Rivieccio in the certain-to-be-produced sequels to this video...Nevertheless, from this biceps-lover's perspective, Michelle is the greatest subject Ray could ever capture on video...5 of 5
CINEMATOGRAPHY: RM-176 is a cut-above Ray's standard fare. He utilizes ground-level shots for the armwrasslin' with fine results. Ray uses plenty of super-close-ups on a subject that DEMANDS super-close-ups! Though I would have preferred a few more tight shots WITHOUT Mike's fingers in the viewfinder, Mr. Martin delivers here...4.5 of 5
AUDIO: WAY too much Mike and WAY too little Michelle...I swear on a stack o' Bibles that 2 farts can be heard at 43:55 and 58:50...I have to give Mike an 'A' for effort, but the allure of muscle-talk is lost when it is a one-way conversation...2.5 of 5
ART: Ray's a little bit sloppy in this one...for example, before the end of one particular scene, Mike asks Michelle to change into a posing suit and she agrees as the camera fades...but the next scene has Ms. Maroldo in the exact same outfit. Ray could have cut Mike's request with minimal effort, yet apparently Mr. Martin did not have the time, or perhaps the production values to do so...On the positive side, Mr. Martin, smartly assessing his market for this video, focused almost entirely on Ms. Maroldo's arms and upper body...Mmmmmmmmm...RM-176 looks hurriedly thrown together like every other Ray offering, but the viewer is still treated to a close-up examination of one the best physiques in FBB history as well as the FULL range of Ray activities...4 of 5
OVERALL: If you buy RM-176 you WILL get a glimpse of the BEST ARMS ON THE PLANET...Michelle's physique is awesome! Ms. Maroldo's WPW video is superior in it's posing content, but I still prefer watching her magnificent muscles in Ray Martin action...If you only want posing, go WPW...But if you like to experience this alluring FBB in 3-D, get this video!...Though Ray missed an opportunity to make the best femuscle video of all time, RM-176 is already my favorite Ray Martin offering...If you are a biceps-lover, this is a MUST-BUY...I bet this is going to be one of Ray's best selling videos ever!...4 of 5
