Joe deAngelis Here
Havent checked this board in more than two years, since I moved back to NJ. This speculation that I was allegedly posting under some assumed name was brought to my attention by Jeff McFarland, who apparantly is the only one who has the guts to approach me directly. First, I moved to Venice in '97. second I never worked the front desk at Golds.....there are so many inconsistencies between my life and this posters claims that its not even funny.
Whether its 'chick' or anyone else, my cell phone has been the same for almost ten years, and 'chick', tom prince, mike ohearn etc all have it. Plus, I bought my tanning salon in Venice back 4 months ago, so im pretty easy to find if anyone wants to 'confront" me......any pro posting trash on Getbig about me is pretty gutless. especially when Im about 1/2 mile away from Golds most of the time. I have a health club in NJ, but will be in Venice from tonite till black Friday.
Let me state now completely and on my family's honor that I am NOT any poster on here DeAngelis39. I am in no shape or form related to Beefheavyweight.
Of the posts ive seen that Ill comment on , Tom Prince and i trained together for quite a while, and Ive got a huge amount of respect for the guy-he shoulda been Mr O. The trash thats talked on this board about him is pretty much jealous crap. Tom P even wrote an article about me for MaxMuscle magazine (its somewhere on my website). Me 'running away' from training with Tom is a pretty dumb statement (Tom, along with Mike Ohearn, was one of the strongest men Ive ever seen). Second, hate to break it to you guys, but I trained with Mike Ohearn before I left cali in 2006 for quite a while. First, hes straight, second his hair is real, third he gets more p***y than most of his critics have even fantasized about, and fourth, Mike is about the strongest BB Ive ever seen. Fifth, hes got an action hero career FOR REAL.
Bodybuilding has been great to me, given me money (contract with Universal for 10+ years),I met my wife at Golds, got two great kids, helped build my businesses, and Ive made what i thought were a lot of good friends all over the world. Im pretty happy with the career I had. Trashing anything to do with Bodybuilding is the last thing on my mnd.
And if anyone feels Im a liar.........look me up at my salon in Venice and lets talk face to face. Anything less is pretty pitiful.
Finally, a big thanks again to Jeff McFarland for letting me know that this garbage was going on......and having the balls to call me directly.....a phone number which, as I said, Tom, Chick, Ohearn and half of Venice all have.
So........ its not me (this beefheavyweight character),
Peace
