Recent video....from this past year of Glass meeting up with the incredible Albert Beckles. Beckles is ancient...hence the walker. But prior to Covid...I would still see Albert a few times a week training in Golds, North Hollywood. He had a cane at the time, but still hit the iron multiple times per week. An incredibly sweet man and true legend. The 3rd guy in the video owns the gym they are at. Annoying Armenian who tries to make the short encounter all about himself and his gym. Anyway...some here may enjoy this snippet.

Beckles is 91.

I didn't realize how many Lancaster's there were, lol.

As for Albert Beckles - his true year of birth is 1938, but he's still old by pro bodybuilder standards, and he was over age 65 and still bench pressing with 125-lb or 130-lb dumbbells for reps.
So no matter how you cut it, he's still impressive.
Like Mike O'Hearn - even without the lies, he's impressive.

Lol...if I'm not mistaken, the great Albert Beckles was one or two millimetres over 5'7" in his prime. ;D
He may be shorter now, at 83 years old. I believe he will be 84 in July. :)

Good to see Albert doing well at this advanced age. I always admired his physique.

LOL I concur. Lancaster/Palmdale are at least better than Victorville, Hesperia and Apple Valley.

He looks incredible. Not a wrinkle on his face. What a great video

He actually looks to have more muscle than some other retired BB’s who are way younger.

That's refreshing to see how good he looks.
