wow
i remember the first when i picked up my second muscle mag when i was a little kid (circa 1986). i bought the mag purely because there were pics and article of beckles re his tips on gaining muscle mass. i was absolutely awe struck by those pics and i hung on every word i read (i now know it probably wasn't him that wrote it
). as a kid i didn't give a hoot whether this guy was 20 or 60 i just knew i wanted a body like his. to think he was nearly 50 at that time is just mind boggling.
the only thing i thought sucked about his advice was that muscle mass should be gained slowly. i mean wtf 14 year old male wants to gain size
slowly. i liked arnolds advice better, but i just didn't have the balls or the know how to get me some dianabol.
besides, no way would my parents let me. my own mother used to tell me even at this age that she thought my muscles were gross (my arms were all of about 14"
) and my dad, who was built like a tank thought i was a complete narcissist. "you gotta work a real job to get real muscles."
what's even more shocking when looking at mtm's pics is that beckles pretty much owns fox in the front double bi shot. his arms are actually bigger overall, more shredded and better balanced than fox's.
, but that might have more to do with brutal's seemingly inability to know how to get shredded without losing a ton of muscle. what was that with fox
beckles is a bbing legend. an absolute rarity in sports and had a ton of class to go with it.
