Not only is he alive, but he is training with 130 pound dumbbells on the flat bench.  I can't honestly say that I have picked up a pair for that exercise yet at 24 years old, well, mainly because the gyms I go to only go up to 120s, but as it is now they do the job just fine, so for Albert to be using the 130s for reps at either age 67 or 75 is extremely impressive.

Honestly, how many people on here can claim they are using 130s for reps?  It's not the best lift in the world, but by no means does that make you a slouch either, and as a senior citizen?  Very impressive.
the only guys that old who could handle that kind of weight were probably John Grimek or Karl Norberg.

Beckles is one of my favorites.  A real inspiration.  How about Ed Corney's triceps kickbacks with 130 lb dumbbells at 72!  :o

I find yours just as fun to look at.

But that's just me...

" I can't honestly say that I have picked up a pair for that exercise yet at 24 years old, well, mainly because the gyms I go to only go up to 120s"

people act like 120 lb db press is something most people warm up with or something. using that kind of weight for a natural that isn't built like a lineman is great for any age. even the more well-built guys at most gyms top out at the 100s.

Really?  Very impressive.
It's on his site and I would say BS, but this is Ed Corney and there's no way I'm questioning that guy's motivation/ability to go heavy.  That guy's a fukkin god.

Flex mag said it was one of the dates already listed - Beckles refuses to say which one . . .

I can't believe that's the same guy from this picture.  They look very different.  Well I'm sure you're right that he shouldn't be talking shit about anyone else.  Out of curiosity, can you match any of your pics with Matt's muscularity below?
