1997 NABBA Universe: Men’s Pump Room

91 of the world’s best men from 22 countries fought it out in Birmingham, England, for the prestigious Mr. Universe titles.

This year GMV Productions had a camera team backstage, where we caught the pre-contest action. You’ll see the men pumping up, plus several interviews.

You can feel the tension before they walk out on stage to do battle. We also include some of the best Round 3 comparisons from the 4 amateur classes.

The Pump Room video front cover image is NICK JONES, Mr Everything – from Adelaide, Australia. Nick has won almost every title available to him from World Champion to Mr Australia to now a top rated Pro Bodybuilder in the MuscleMania contests.
