BG Review

"Calling Rio, calling NYC, calling Warsaw, calling Sydney, calling Buenos Aires, calling Miami. 100 powerful stacks of muscle, age 19-29, are to assemble on Powermen.com. We want you on film, displaying your massive shoulders, rock-hard abs, and perfect ass-globes for a privileged group of worshipful, muscle-loving surfers."

Power Men features competition-class bodybuilders in more than 100 all-exclusive, high quality episodes. Muscle fans should definitely check out the models section of the tour and prepare to be blown away!

Tour

In the Power Men tour you can preview the site by scrolling through the "Models" area. For each model there is a text description and several decent-sized photos. It's quite thorough but there are no larger images. The first page of the tour provides 2 free preview video clips, though.

Navigation

The members' home page is basic in design. Enter the "Models" area for the complete roster of muscle-studs, most recent first. Each model page has a large photo of the model or group on top, followed by links to the video clips.

Content

These massive hunks range in age from 19-29, and include guys from the U.S., Latin America, and Europe. We were a bit surprised by how young some of them are. Teen muscle fans will love Cody (19).

Some Power Men videos jump right into the model posing, while others start with with more "artistic" situations. These may be set outdoors, on a sidewalk, poolside, or on the beach; indoor sets include studios, hotel rooms and, of course, showers.

But, eventually every model ends up in a quiet place where he strokes his cock and gets off. Although occasionally there are two bodybuilders wrestling and posing together, all the sex action is solo. All the other bulging areas aside, some of the asses are to die for!

Power Men currently offers 100 exclusive videos, averaging 18 minutes in length. We could not determine how often the site is updated, but it appears to be a couple of times a month.

Most of the videos are available to stream or download in both Windows Media and Quicktime formats. All the Windows Media videos now play in a 480x360 window at 1,000 kbps. -- an improvement since the last time we visited this site. But a lower speed and size is available for dial-up users, too. For some reason or other, the latest couple videos are available only in Flash format. There is no DRM on the vids but note that you cannot download the ones in Flash.

All of the videos are divided into clips; there is no full-length option. The video clips are presented with a logic of PowerMen's own, which goes something like this (we think): "Broadbanders" get to watch much longer clips, while other users have the videos divied into 3 minute segments. That's the only difference, since both the broadbanders and the regular folk are presented with the same video speeds and sizes. In other words, there are too many choices and the video clips for one movie end up spread out over 3 pages for no good reason.

The production values of the Power Men videos are now excellent, with great clarity, light and sound, even in the oldest videos. The many posing shots suit the subject matter well, and there is a good mix of closeups, full body shots and medium shots. Most of the cumshots on Power Man are well caught, but there is a tendency to shoot from below and between the model's legs, which is not always the best angle.

One thing you'll notice and will either enjoy or hate is that there are soundtracks on all the videos; often you can't hear much from the guys until they climax.

There aren't a lot of pics on this site: Power Men now has approximately 50 digital photo galleries.

Respect

Power Men does lose points for having very little help information on the site, not even links to download Windows Media or Quicktime if you don't happen to have them. They do, however, have a contact page.

Summing Up

Power Men models are the kind of men that you see in major muscle magazines. The big difference is here not only do you get to see them moving and posing but also stroking their hard cocks to wet messy climaxes. Although the text descriptions are brief, muscle fans are sure to find the high quality exclusive videos on Power Men worth a membership.
