To complete our series of contest DVDs from the 1998 NABBA Universe we have two great Pump Room DVDs available. Women's and Men's - both capturing the excitement and tension backstage as these great athletes prepare to fight their battles.

The Pump Room is an absolute highlight for backstage raw muscle action. It is muscles and oil and sweat and lots of pumping - all the interesting stuff that takes place back stage which is unseen by most fans.

MEN'S PUMP ROOM
All the make action. Ultimately it was a repeat victory for Pro Champion - Eddie Ellwood, weighing in at a shredded 285lbs, as well as for John Citrone (190 lbs) in the Masters Class. Gary Lister won the overall Amateur Mr Universe. For all of the details on the 1998 NABBA Universe Men's Pump Room, please click here for PCB-304DVD.

WOMEN'S PUMP ROOM
The wonderful Pina Theodoridis from Australia won her second overall Figure Class title while Julia Abel of UK took out the women's physique class in this great glimpse of the women behind the scenes at the Universe.

I am saddened to report the death of world famous photographer Douglas Kent Hall in Albuquerque, NM last Sunday, March 30th. He was aged 69. Douglas shot all of the photos for the book Arnold: Education of a bodybuilder.
 
In that period from 1979 to 1982 he published 4 bodybuilding books, the 2 with Arnold  being Arnold: The Education of a Body Builder and Bodyshaping for Women, Bodymagic (with Lisa Lyon) and The Incredible Lou Ferrigno.

Several years ago we visited Douglas, selecting rare photos from his unpublished photos of Arnold to form a major part of our Photo Gallery in Arnold the early years DVD. For details on this, please click here for PCB-250DVD. I formed a strong friendship with Douglas and ended up ordering a series of signed Arnold prints that now hang in the GMV studio in Adelaide. We will miss him greatly. Tina and I extend our deepest sympathy to the Kent Hall family.
