Joe DeAngelis: Mr. World, Mr. Universe: 1966 – 2015

From his days as a teenage star, to a senior champion to appearing on a booth at every Olympia till this day, Joe was an enduring star of the sport.

On stage Joe posed confidently and aggressively to win his many titles. And you, as a viewer of this DVD, are uniquely placed to watch this young physique develop and mature before your very eyes!

Joe was justly famous for huge arms and superb legs. In the studio, Joe works out his awesome upper body with dumbells to show us the movement of rippling muscles captured in mind boggling close-up. What a physique!

Also includes oiling, tensing, and posing in tank tops and trunks – and – wait for it – as a special treat there is also duo posing and pumping with Italian / American Mr. Universe Jerry Scalesse.

For Joe’s story and complete training routine, see the February 1992 issue of “Ironman” magazine. At 5’11” (180cm) and a ripped 224lbs (102 kg), Joe was a winner. Find out how Joe put it all together in this profile video on one of America’s most outstanding young champions.

Taped on Location

Taped on location in England, Belgium and Australia this unique video gives us an in-depth look at Joe. He wasn’t called “deAngelis” for nothing. Surely an angel smiled on his birth – he is amazingly good looking with a physique straight from heaven – symmetrical, and showing an incredible muscularity for such a young man. Joe smiles at us engagingly throughout the interview (taped in our London studio) as he shyly explains his background and philosophies. But shyness is cast aside when he poses.

GMV Productions charts the rise of one of America’s brightest stars – JOE DeANGELIS. Joe was 26 years old when this was released on video. A native of Santa Barbara, California he has notched up an impressive collection of big title wins for one so young.

Five years in the making, starting from his appearance at the Junior Mr. Universe and subsequent win of the Junior Mr. World in Belgium, right through to his incredible success at the 1991 Mr. Universe in London, where he won the tall height class. You will see all the comparisons and heart-stopping drama of this stunning victory, which followed hot on the heels of his achievement in winning the overall A.A.U. Mr. America crown for 1991.

We are proud to have made this record of the major bodybuilding years in the life and career of Joe DeAngelis.
