SheMuscle.com features nude and semi-nude photography of amateur and pro fitness models and bodybuilders. The site's photography is done by Brian Moss who, I learned from the site, has been active in the sport women bodybuilding for some time now. Well, not literally active in the competitions of course, but he has trained many of the top women participants. Anyhow, SheMuscle.com features around 60 photosets and a handful of videos of some well-known and perhaps not-so-well-known bodybuilder and fitness babes such as Ms. Olympia Valentina Chepiga, Rikki Rife, Tara Scotti, Christina Lindley, Jodi Leigh Miller, Grace Rivera, Melissa Dettwiller, Marika Johansson, Lauren Powers, Lynn McCrossin, Monica Martin, Sasha Ogata, and even WWE DIva Trish Stratus. Being an avid lifter myself, I can definitely appreciate the work all of these women put into their bodies, although from a sexual standpoint I definitely prefer the fitness-style chicks to the more pumped up bodybuilders. This site is definitely unique to me; it should be interesting to check things out.
SheMuscle.com is one of those sites that doesn't really have a members area per se. The tour basically *is* the members section, and then when you click to view a set you'll be prompted to enter your username/password. As you can see on the tour, they have their models divided into two categories: Bodybuilders and Fitness models, with the former being bigger and more muscular than the latter. There's also a model index available that alphabetically lists all of the girls, fitness models and bodybuilders alike. You're also provided with a link to each girl's official website if you want to see more of them. Anyhow, as always, we'll start by looking at the pics.
There are 57 photosets to take a look at here; 40 fitness chicks and 17 bodybuilders. As far as pic size, things vary a bit, often depending on whether the photo is a horizontal or a vertical shot. The majority of the vertical pics weigh in at around 600 x 900, although I did find some tiny vertical images at around 300 x 500. The horizontal pics are pretty much all on the small side, ranging from roughly 300 x 500 to 450 x 600. Size aside, the main thing that bothered me about the a lot of the pics was the lighting, which definitely tends to be on the dark side. Some of this could be characterized as artistic or "mood" lighting, but with the girls being so tan and wearing black outfits, I found myself wishing that the images were a lot brighter. There are several sets that are exceptions to this (they're shot on a white background or are better lit for some reason), but many of the sets are too dark for my tastes.
As far as subject matter, the photos reminded me a lot of the sort of thing you might see in fitness magazines, except with a bit more nudity. The girls strip and pose, showing off their ripped up physiques for the camera. As you can see by checking out tour, the babes here range from extremely tight-bodied and defined divas all the way up to massively muscular bodybuilder babes. Typically, the girls are wearing some kind of sexy lingerie, thongs, t-backs, lacey bra and panty sets, etc. Some of the series are no-nude only, others are topless, and in others, the women get entirely naked (although I didn't see any spread shots or anything like that anywhere). There's a smoking set (this seemed odd to me on a bodybuilding site) and a girl-girl shoot (nothing hardcore, mainly posing together and fondling). The settings did get a bit repetitious for me; a large number of the photosets seem to be shot by a bed in the same (or similar) hotel room.
The She Muscle Video section is currently pretty small (I believe this section was just introduced to the site). There are presently 7 clips here to check out. They're primarily in WMV format (with one MPG thrown in) and clock in at between 3 and 14 minutes and length (most are 3 to 5 minutes long). The videos look pretty good quality-wise, although I think the specs are better than the video actually ends up being. All of the clips are an extra large 640 x 480 with bit rates ranging from 768Kbps all the way up to a whopping 2.06Mbps. I found them all to be watchable on full-screen, but the video quality didn't blow me away. For subject matter, the videos are similar to the photos. They're typically filmed in a hotel room, the model comes in and does a slow striptease (there are no-nude, topless, and fully nude vids, like the photos), striking posing and showing off her muscles along the way.
In addition to the model galleries, there are also what the site calls "focus" galleries. These are themed galleries focusing on a particular bodypart, fetish, etc. There's a smoking set, a pantyhose set, a glutes set, a foot set, and more. The galleries contain pics drawn from all the sets on the site that focus on whatever the particular theme of each gallery happens to be. There's also a Backstage gallery that gives you some behind the scenes pics from a female bodybuilding competition.

If you're into well-built women, SheMuscle.com should definitely have something to offer you. In future photosets, I'd like to see bigger pics and better lighting conditions, however the present archive should still appeal to fans of fitness models and female bodybuilders. If that's you, surf on over to She Muscle and see if the babes can pump up your love muscle for you (ok, I had ot throw at least one lame joke in there, didn't I?).
