56 years old in this video



How is it possible to be 2nd at Olympia at 55 and to win in 1991 the Niagara Pro at the age of 61 years old.

He has the best genetic of all time.
He did the longest carreer of all pro's.
Not dead, no muscle tear, looks extremely young, wide and healthy.

Saw him train in 1991,so he would have been 61,and he went all the way up the dumbell rack on d/bell press for 10 reps with each weight,starting at 10lbs and finished with the 160s,only about a minute rest between sets.We had about 18 pairs of d/bells in total in the gym and he did a set with every one....and this was 1 day before he competed in the english gp.

Great bicep peaks and to think Beckles hasn't even brought in his arms to fully hit the pose.

Is it possible he's fibbing about his age, like a lot of Dominicans do?

Good to see him, been around a long time.  Champion.  Everyone always wondered about his age, even in the late 70s.  Good for him.  Insane peak.  Compare him with Boyer, like two different species.

I love how he used to lie about his age. I have early 1980's Muscle and Fitness magazines where in one article he claimed he was born in 1930 and another where he claimed 1939. His birth year changed from month to month. Still unsure of his ACTUAL birth year?

No, he was born in 1930. That is a fact. It has been documented many times in Muscle and Fitness. There have been discrepancies in his age (late 1930's), but it has always come back to 1930 as his year of birth. He is or will be 84 this year.

This is what training, eating correctly and great genes can do for you.

Dude will probably live past 100.
