John Kemper & Billy Arlen, with Jacques Neuville
Filmed at the spectacular Vasquez Rocks, located in the high desert near Agua Dulce Springs, CA, our two heavyweight bodybuilders were in rock-hard condition. This was on the morning after they competed in the 1980 Mr. America contest.

Here in the rocky foothills of Southern California the first sequence features each man in a tight t-shirt, sleeves rolled up to display arms in a dramatic style!! These same arms are worked to a full-vein-bulging pump and intense contraction posing. Muscular arms in full-screen closeup.
Next John & Billy go head to head in tough duo muscle action, as they pump together with emphasis on massive arms. The session becomes an intense competitive posedown. (The total Kemper Arlen segment runs for 43 mins.)
JOHN KEMPER solo: One of USA’s golden boys. 5’11“ (185 cm) 205 lbs (93 kg) blond hair, blue eyes, golden tan, superb shape. Fantastic arm shots, full-body posing as well as extreme closeups. Breathtaking!!
BILLY ARLEN heats up the posing with pose after pose showing mass and definition in a truly macho muscle display. For the record, Billy is 5’10“ (176 cm) 210 lb (95 kg) with a massive 52” chest, 30” waist and 19” arms. He’s a former American football star. Astounding closeups of ripped pecs, rock hard abs, cuts and striations, topped by bulging veins.
JACQUES NEUVILLE
To finish off the video, there’s a dynamic sequence of the French bodybuilding star JACQUES NEUVILLE. Filmed right at the start of his career when he was only 23 years old. His symmetry is flawless – a truly rare piece of archival footage. (12 mins).

Special Note – June 13th, 2012
John Kemper 1944-2012.
IFBB judge and long-time NPC official John Kemper passed away on June 13th, 2012. He was 67 years old. John was the founder of the famous Diamond Gym in the 1970’s and located in Maplewood, New Jersey.
From his first title as Teenage Mr. New Jersey, John enjoyed an outstanding career culminating in winning the 1981 Masters Games Heavyweight, Heavyweight and Overall titles at the 1983 NPC Junior USA titles and the 1987 Masters Nationals.
I worked with John twice shooting photos and film in the early 80s. The first time was on the day after he competed in the 1980 Mr. America in LA. Most of the photos in our Gallery on John are from that shoot. The second time was a year later in San Jose, on the day after he competed in the 1981 World Games. He was an outstanding physique and a great model to work with.
