You either love Beckles routine or you hate it! But its of no consequence, because you would need to see a digitally remastered copy of this competition, not a grainy youtube copy to fully appreciate why he is known as the uncrowned 1985 Mr "O". He annihilated Haney. Personally I like his routine, but I can see why others may not, but one things for sure, it wasn't enough to loose him the "O" This was back in the day when USA ruled BB & there was no room for a middle aged balding blackman. Shame
Unreal for a man who was 55 years old in 1985. It's amazing the level of commitment he had. He truly had to train intense but cautious all those years to avoid injuries.
terrible posing routine. notorious biceps but honestly- this is not a routine. Just got up onstage and started dancing. I hate it when the pros think they dont have to make an effort on the routine. Looks bad
Watching this vid closely, I can see why he got 2nd! GREAT conditioning! In a back training article for Muscle & Fitness, Lee Haney mentioned Beckles (and his back) as his main motivator for training hard, as his competition was so strong. Also, watching these old skool guys and how polished their posing routines were . . . why don't today's guys put work into theirs? Watching guys like Jay and these other "fat" dudes up there rumble around throwing clumsy boring poses.
Wow 52y amazing 500 points for him..

Al was a very good BB in his day. Great poser, highly conditioned. Great build for a man in his mid 50's.

Albert Beckles had the best posing routines . . . he would go up and dance to the music and have fun while posing.
