Looking at the hard-edged shadow and the large area on the wall where there's a specular highlight the size of a basketball is a clue that it's not a snooted strobe, but a much larger light source. otherwise, the specular highlight, the bright,shiny area where the orange paint goes to a burned-out white color--that alone tells me the light source is big.
My guess? A 20 to 22 inch beauty dish is almost certainly the main light. That's why the shadows are so crisp and black...the dish has been pulled back far enough to make it a hard light source,and the 20 to 22 inch diameter of the dish makes a large, white,bright source,and the light coming from the large-ish,white, bright beauty dish hit the wall between them and bounced straight back to the camera, causing the specular highlight on the wall.
As with all Maxim covers, there's plenty of post work done too; both those gals weigh another 40-50 pounds IRL!
