Albert Beckles


For how popular Albert Beckles is there is surprisingly little information on him. He is still active in the bodybuilding world, judging IFBB shows. He has had a long successful career and his name will go down in bodybuilding history along with Sergio Oliva and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He has been on the covers of Iron Man, Muscle Up, and Muscle Mag International. He has been featured in Iron Man, Muscle Up, MuscleMag International, Muscle Digest, and Flex. One surprising tidbit of information is that Albert Beckles has had such a successful career while being a vegetarian!
