Turned pro at Canadian Nationals in 04, i think.
He did a couple shows (toronto pro was one) and placed 12th or around there, should be been higher.
Was supposed to compete at a show a couple months ago but got a shoulder infection a week or two out.
Is planning on doing a show this season, hopefully he does well. Go Canada ;D
-
Awesome. :o
-
I can see why MattC promotes this guy so much. He is freaky huge and has a beautiful physique, the sort that every young bodybuilder wants, but he doesn't look anywhere near grotesque like too many guys on the pro stage...
-
I bet he just finished curling that weight behind him ;D
-
:o Check those arms out...kinda like a taller version of Lee Priest.

So what? The point here is that he looks much better than the vast majority of guys on major gear!

Gee Dan no shit eh! Omg he taking roids. Dan there isn't a pro Bodybuilder and/or a top NPC guy who doesn't use "major gear". And guess what dan there is no Easter bunny.
-
this guy is the direction that the "sport" should be moving in as opposed to these 5'8" 275lb. stuffed sausages.
-
need's more pec thickness.arm's are tremendous,need's pro level conditioning.need's to compete and steady to get seen,not just print work .unproven yet to what he can do.
-
given the current line-up these days, He won't even make the top 10 at the NY PRO if he decided to compete. too many (almost flaw-less) guys onstage these days
-

Hey thanks for the wake up call........Ive been in the game for years dip shit my point hes nothing special for todays standards just another geared up guy big fucking deal..........but sars is right about direction we are all getting tired of gh clowns...
-
awesome
-
Why does he keep looking down at the ground? What's down there?
-
My buddy used to train at the same gym as Frank out east. He said that as big as Frank's forearms look in pictures they are unreal in person. About the size of the average persons legs. That was a few years back before he went pro.
-
McGrath is the real deal...has a hybrid combination of freaky size and sick vascularity and aesthetics of a Arnold or Labrada...just taller than Labrada obviously.
One of the best things UNIVERSAL did was recognize the look and potential of McGrath and get him in their advertisment campagins.
Funny thing is...on animalpak.com, 'The Journey' I believe is at week #12. It seems like in the 'Animal World' it is 3 weeks to every 1 week. That 'Journey' has been up AT least for 7 or 8 months if not longer.
-
Basically he has the look of a 70s or early 80s BB.

he placed 12th whne he competed in 2004...he is like federov..federov was hyped more than ronnie coleman was hyped in 1997 and onstage federov was a walking pile of shit..frank won't even be in the top 5 of any pro show in the near future
-
That's the thing - its one thing to look good in an advertising campaign or walking down the street or posing at an expo but it's quite another to stand onstage under the lights in a competition environment and be judged on the mandatories. Two completely different things.
-
We saw Frank at the Olympia. He said he was doing the Ironman for sure and most likely another show before or after, wasn't sure which one.

Nor a rookie should. Where did Ronnie place in his first 5 years of his pro life?
-
He was suppose to do the Toronto pro this year but that show never ended up happening. I'm not a big fan of his physique but as a fellow candian I give my props

Correct, but you do win more money from advertisements than you do from shows.
-
His arms are too big for his torso. When he does his front or back double bicep shot he looks narrow.
-
no his arms aint to big...thats an amazing physique...looks way better than cutler...thats the look most guys want and i cant blame em..loaded with muscles but doesnt look like a bull.
-
holy shit.. :o
is that a skirt?
-
is that a skirt?
Is that a turd in a bowl?
No, it's just your brain in your cracked-open skull...
-
MattC, don't you think Jay and Frank have relatively similar, appealing physiques, as opposed to grotesque physiques like heiko kallbach marcus ruhl?
Perhaps you should be contrasting Frank with someone else?
-
You are right that Heiko is a much better example. But then again, Heiko is not Mr. Olympia.
I think a HUGE portion of looking good with lots of muscle has to do with keeping a small waist. This is entirely why no matter what, I will never consider Dorian in Ronnie's league. If Dorian's waist was 32", that would be another story.
Mcgrath is still young... give him a few years and the waist will grow, if he wants to place anywhere in a pro contest he will go overboard with the drugs..
-
so the same guys who write the dead pool recommend taking 5000 mg every day?!
-
Agreed. Who do you think is better?
But is bodybuilding supposed to be about who looks the best in the same sense Frank looks better than Jay? I think if that were the case, Bob Paris should beat Ronnie Coleman in contest and to me that is silly.

Frank has a nice structure but he's lacking in that pic and lacking a lot !!

If you take away Frank's arms....he's very very average.
-
absolutely unbelieveable forearms. im noy sure why this guy isnt competing yet.

Tons of guys would give anything to have his potential, and they might make better use of it too..

Frank needs more lat width to balance out the size of his quads , among other things.

I've seen those b&w pics of Dorian a thousand times now and I still have to stop and look at them every time they pop up.

Its not quantity its quality ;)

BBing no longer is about who can score the most... that said, I would rather look like frank than dorian.. but that's just me.

I think you're trying to overcome your shortcomings and deny your attraction for the penis through Frank...

Dorians arms look like shit there

He looks AMAZING. :o

Thank you Dr Freud !! very original post .

Frank looks underwhelming on stage. In those shots for the ads he looks great because all you really see are a great set of arms. On stage he has big arms, big calves and thighs, weak torso and lack of conditioning.
-
The ironage nuthuggers should be able to appreciate this:

Talking to you now. Dialed in at 15% earlier... DNP is hell of a drug 8)
-
Amazing how you praise Arnold who has the same flaws! You praise Bob Paris and Frank Zane too. All three would be beaten by McGrath with the possible exception of Arnold, but I do think Frank could take him as well.
Frank looks good but Wolf looked better and still had a hard time on contest day.He go a long way ahead of him if he plans on doing more than just posing for ads.

You are a fat slob that use tons of strong drugs....you should be ashamed you look anything less than spectacular with the drugs you use.

All three are pros McGrath can't even do that , he's not beating anyone , Arnold has flaws as does everyone , but one of Arnold's flaws wasn't conditioning like Frank , and Frank doesn't come close to this !
-
Look at Bob Paris in those pics... anyone think he could win a show like the nationals nowadays?

McGrath you're fkn SICK!!!!!
The best thing UNIVERSAL did was see the potential and marketing ability in you over that Andrew Giordinello guy who has the fake 'hardcore' personality of a wet mop.
If it's really YOU then it's good to have you here!!!
How much do you bench and have any gangs or 'organizations' here on getbig tried recruiting you yet and if not...what say you about joining mine?
-
why are you not competeing now....you have potential like no one else.
-
personally i think if guy a looks better on stage, but guy b looks better in all other cases, i'd rather look like guy b. mcgrath may not do so well in the contests, but would you rather walk around town looking like him or like ronnie?
-
block head i have no "gangs" not sure what that is on here. let me know, and i haven't competed, got ready for a few shoes but things didnt work out, got kindey stone once last year, and got sick this year too. but getting ready for the iron man in feb. you will see me at my best. ;)
-
Good to see Frank posting. SQUAD Approved!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha...hang out here with us on Getbig and you'll see how many 'gangs' and 'cliques' there are on here. 'They' will try to recruit you. Stand your ground.
I believe you will. You have lots of supporters here. I spoke to you briefly at the last ASC...you were a gentleman and class act. I tried to take a picture with 'Andy' and he yelled at me and told me...'Dude...I'm eating come on!' despite the fact that I didn't see his food due to the angle he was sitting and where I was standing...
Glad you're here Frank. You're swimming with the sharks here at Getbig, brother! We have your back and I have reason to believe you are SQUAD APPROVED so you can do no wrong.
Thanks again and good luck to you. AnimalArms is inspiring...
-
Everybody BACK OFF! Frank spoke to me FIRST on here. You wanna speak tohim you gotta go through me!!!
Hahahahahaha!
MattC is right, Frank. In my gym...there are pics of YOU everywhere...not Ronnie.
When people I know competitive or non-competitive talk shop and compare themselves to a Pro BB...it is of YOU they speak of not a Jay or Victor.
My last few ARM routines...looked like this:
Straight bar barbell Curls.
Standing dumbbell curls
Precher little straight bar cable curls
Rope pushdown
CloseGrip Bench
SkullCrushers.
Probably because that's what you did in that ANIMALARMZ video...
McGrath posting HERE among us is a big deal. Let us all have a moment of silence for Frank.......
Thank you.

Aww shit, the man has entered the building... Lots of Wrath McGrath supporters 'round these parts. 2007 will be your year bro. Peace, G
-
No, fk that! Frank...how does it feel waking up knowing you are 'Big Frank WRATH McGrath'? Peroid.
-
Yep, tons of supporters on here. I think most would agree his waist and arms pretty much negate any flaws he has. Frank - how does it feel walking in a club looking like you do? 8)
Look at Matt trying to live vicariously through Frank lol play on playa
-
Frank McGrath you are a great bodybuilder. Only wish we could see more of you in some context other than those ads... like the pro stage.
Every young guy who gets into bodybuilding does it not to look like Ronnie or Mustafa or Ruhl, but to look like you.
Please stay on Getbig and post often!

:o
-

Matt, Frank wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell of beating those guys. He has great arms that make the rest of him look underwhelming. No conditioning, no balance at all.
-
I don't see how he wouldn't beat all those guys. It's not like I'm comparing him to current pros. If he nails his conditioning I think he will look even better. All four look good though.
Matt, take a look at those pics of Paris ND posted. Frank Is twice Paris size but isn't in the same league as far as aesthetics. If you want mass Frank is in another whole league I will give you that. If you want balance, symmetry, lines etc.. Frank couldn't even be on the same stage as Bob Paris.
-
only weighed 230 in this pic, but i have improved since then going to be arond 20 pounds heavier and sharper.
-
Frank, what's the heaviest you've weighed in the offseason? Any offseason pics you care to share with us?
-
Frank,your biceps are one of the freakiest i have seen,they are "hanging". When you do curl,you go super heavy or moderate,which you go habitualy? Or were they huge geneticaly?
-
id love to have a physique like franks. just awesome yet not grotesque

Frank those Animal Pak ads always get me fired up to train. You have the goods to do some serious damage next year. I know Milos Sarcev mentioned trying to contact you after you were out of comission from the kidney stone...are you working with him in your preparations?
-
frank is strong also, rep 315 on shoulders, and bench 405 for ten. strong cat, and lean year round. watch out frank blockhead is hungry for teh cock and will stop at nothing to get it.

He seems like a good dude too. Seems humble in his few posts. Unlike most of the bigtime guys who post on Getbig.

Yes, perfect way of saying it.
Frank, don't go the freak size route, plenty of recognition and money with your current path.
-
you shouldnt get into "pro" bbing..you should market yourself as a model, ads etc, ...you have far more than just muscles, you have a perfect face that fits with your body...Youc ould do much bettet than bbing.

HUGE

umm.. frank does have a dreamy face doesnt he. hes mine you fags.

absolutely right SQUAD approved, this guy looks awesome, exactly the way a bodybuilder should look.

WOW :o
I'm sure Frank would be flattered.
-
this why i always recomend you to work the whole body as much as you work your arms. this is the prime example of a living walking thomas prince. off hormones = 170lb. what you see in the pictures here is a blub/bubble.. that with out hormones will lose close to 50lb in a record time! ,,should quit training arms for a while and work on rest of the body,, otherwise will place very poorly in any pro competition entered.
-
Flat chested as Uma Thurman.
-
WOW :o
I'm sure Frank would be flattered.
The two SQUAD endorsed bodybuilders, Freeman and Cutler, had amazing years. We only endorse the best. Our agents will be contacting Frank shortly for contract negotiations.
-
Those forearms are rude. Just rude. >:(

How can anyone say that someone with a 29" waist "lacks aesthetics" or ANYTHING along those lines? ??? ??? ???

All you need is a small waist and you are aesthetic? Aesthetic is when the whole physique flows well and is proportionate. One major thing that hurts this is a long midsection and Frank has a touch of that.

ok that is true, but he is incredibly wide and has the ability to hold mass in a way akin to Arnold. Do you think his long torso hurts him in any other poses than the front double biceps?
-

Finally something we can agree on! other than the size of Dan 18s noggin.
Frank is the way bodybuilding should be heading!!!

Frank's aware of the obvious similarities to Oliva, has sometimes posed with that in mind. Similar great forearms and general muscle shape. Even does the victory pose.

As if Bob Paris, Frank Zane, or Arnold could hold a candle to this!

The only thing on Arnold bigger than Frank is his chest, calves, and waist. Arnold's lats insert lower though so that is another advantage. Frank's chest and calves aren't exactly weak though.

Some similarities to Sergio, but Sergio has a superior back, quads, calves, chest, and overall arm size. I'll give Frank the nod for biceps size, but overall arm size goes to Sergio, as well as overall package.
-
ALL DRUGS! ;D
Yeah so what!!!!
He still looks like he bust his ass in the gym to get it. Drugs alone cant get you that type of muscle without hardwork and dedication.

reminded me of Tommy Gun in Rocky V... the rookie wandering around radiating potential with that eye of the tiger 8)

Hey Frank, can I get a discount on Animal Pak stack 2? . I know that is it only an expensive multivitamin but it might empower me to cut some holes in my clothes and feel hardcore.
just kidding around, you and Heath are my two favorites. Keep up the good work

I will bet that you loved the part of about shopping with a big strong man for clothes. Did he buy anything special for you to wear?
