Who knows ??
My Friend,
Geoff capes is 70 & was twice WSM
And British & Commonwealth Shot put Champion
He’s weighs up around 325+ Lbs
And definitely took his fair share of PEDS for a long time
And as for food / fat intake it scared Me at times.

Granted he’s got the bone structure of an Elephant & Likely the Constitution
To go with it.

Haven't heard Geoff Capes name in a while! I remember him from WSM. But i guess he doesn't work out much any more

Has a face of a 65 year old. Why does everyone do shallow leg presses? Is it more beneficial for the legs to pile on the weight and do the equivalence of a quarter squat? Yates and Shawn Ray went deep. Platz did everything deep from squats, hack and leg press.

A deep leg press causes the spine to become rounded and ultimately injured. A well known sports physiologist, Stuart McGill, makes a case against doing it all together.

"Dr. Stuart McGill, who in his book Low Back Disorders, states:

“the leg press sometimes causes the pelvis to rotate away from the back rest when the weight is lowered. The resultant lumbar flexion produces herniating conditions for the disc!”"

I'm not sure why anyone would want to be 260 pounds in their 40's? Of course this would age you!

He’s around the 320lbs area nowadays.

Depends on the goal. Too many people hold themselves back due to age. In most cases it’s backwards thinking.

It’s comments like this that make me question your sanity. Justification of weighing 260 at 44 years old? Look at the guy, he looks like death as would most anyone weighing that much through gear.

Looks like blown out shit. Looks closer to 60 than 40.

What is the lesson that should be learned here?

Between this bag of smashed assholes and Dominic Triveline, NEVER, and i mean NEVER, EVER hire Justin Harris.

Too many people do put unnecessary limits on themselves, regardless of age. Backwards thinking due to age is definitely is not progressive or positive. I'm a firm believer in shooting for the moon. I am also a believer in doing it in a solid, sensible and practical way. From my own experience, as an advanced senior citizen who seems to be in great health (according to my physicians), being overweight regardless of whether it is muscle weight or fat, is not the healthiest way to go. However, if your goal is to don a thong and get back in the game on the competition stage, go-4-it. You only live once. Seriously!

It comes down to genetics and to be fair if you’re dieting right, a week or two before a show you should look like “death” my wife calls this the “Holy Shit” look. He’s 5’11 260 and will probably step on stage at like 245-250. I looked liked death a week out before my show at 5’6 206. Weighed in the day before the show at 196 stepped on stage the next day at 204 dry as a bone at 56, this was just in May. Now, today, I’m 57 and my off-season weight is 242. At this rate I seriously doubt I’ll make the Lt. Hvys at the Nationals in July because at 239 I was still below 12% and I’m not even at my projected off-season weight yet.

He’s also correct by saying the off-season months are probably hardest because of the amount of food that needs to taken in and before you get into the gear part, in the off-season it’s probably close to a fraction of what you think it is.

Looks decent but he shows upper body in posing (rather than legs) which seems weird in a leg training video. Plus definitely is somewhat roid-gutted during the training part of video as well as posing (see 11:30 to 12:00).
