I recently watched the 1984 Olympia video where he participated... The man can not pose to save his life.

Yeah, Sergio was the man back in the day. I'd certainly love to have that physique ! Btw, Beckles couldn't have been 78 years old in that pic ... more like 50-something or so. Do you have proof, Dr. ?

You're right that was taken in the 80s I believe he was in his 50s which is still insane

crazy thing about that pic is that i remember being totally blown away by it when i first saw it in like 1993 but over the years bodybuilders have gotten so damn massive that it doesn't impress me any more. :-\

That is exactly my thoughts. I remember seeing it in Rick Waynes 'Muscle Wars' (decent book, by the way) and thinking WTF! but now while it is still impressive it does not have the WOW factor

Nope. Just pulled that outta my ass. Beckles always was reticent with his true age, and played it up, as did the magazines.  ;D

Sergio was like Nasser ( like to put his hands on women ) she got sick of it and used his own sidearm to shoot him ( he was a cop ) now thinking about it I think she shot him in the gut , hmmmmmm maybe he did tear his tri  ???

Never knew that, will have to look it up.

Left tri certainly looks like it may have torn.

i think he might have been shot in the bicep in Cuba also way before his bodybuilding career began.

I beleive he slipped on ice whilst on duty and reached out to support his fall tearing his tricep..this is what he said in an old muscle mag star profile..And yes I think he did take one in the gut when his wife shot him..

I heard a story about sergio taking a small calibur round to the pec.... and because of the density / thickness and small cal bullet..... docs just went in and pulled it out.... bb'n saved his life.....

funny in regards to a post above about sergio & nasser liking to put their hands on their women.....
thought a nice fact to be into our sport was to have the strength to keep our loved ones safe.  guess some "guys" just have different views.  shame
Title: Re: Think your genetics are good?
Post by: JOHN MATRIX on March 01, 2009, 06:49:55 PM
i believe sergio was shot twice, once in the stomach by an ex and once in the arm(tricep) while on duty. this accounts for his one symmetry flaw during his later years

Actually no one gets in to this "SPORT" to have the strength to keep our loved ones safe or to hurt them either.

Btw, Sergio could have been MR.O  from 71  on if Weider had wanted to.

technically he could have been from '67 until '83
with maybe a loss or two to arnold, he could easily have been a 15-time Mr.O

He was shot in his right arm in Cuba, you can see the scars if you look closely.
The doctors told him his arm would never be the same again......  :)

Absolutely; Draper was humungous around 1970 now he looks slim in comparison. That pool room shot of Sergio was the last word in massiveness in the 70s now it's not as awesome as it once was which didn't seem possible.

Never heard about any gym injuries just the gunshot wounds.

i've never liked him in this pose.  it looks like he's only 3/4 hitting the pose, and has no peak at all.  no doubt his arms are huge, but i think his biceps were too long
