Title: Massive Frank McGrath
Post by: MAXX on January 25, 2006, 11:16:56 AM
When is this beast going to compete again?


Frank began bodybuilding at the age of 14 in the basement of his home in Dunville. He trained using his father's old Weider Bench, some home made equipment and a few concrete weights. When Frank moved to St. John's he began training at MUN gym with Kristian Alexander who saw the potential this young guy had and was the first to edge him on to compete and helped him make it to his first competition. His first show was the 2000 NL Provincial Bodybuilding Championships which he won in a land slide victory. His next show was the 2001 Canadian Bodybuilding Championships in Nova Scotia. He placed 6th in the Super Heavy Weight Class. While at this show he was offered a contract with several supplement companies and noticed by Judges and promoters. He has since traveled to California several times and trained at Gold's Gym on Venice Beach, "the Mecca of bodybuilding". While there he met many very influential people in the bodybuilding business, including Joe Weider. He also appeared in a 9 page spread in Muscle Mag International in January 2003. He is currently training at Global Gym for the 2003 Nationals which are to be held in September. He hopes to win the Super Heavy Weight Class and maybe even take home a Pro Card.

Good points - I just thought I would post it for some discussion.

Regardless of Frank is lacking a back or what have you, he has all the money muscle - huge upper body with fantastic arms as well as height and a tiny waist.  He's very reminiscent of Arnold in this manner.  He's a freak where it counts.

(http://forum.bodybuildingpro.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=800&stc=1)

Whether this wins a contest is irrelevent - I would rather look like Frank than most pros.

im thinking hes the next matarazzo.

do you think he really took that much gear, Matt?
Title: Re: Massive Frank McGrath
Post by: Stavios on July 26, 2006, 06:28:26 PM

3000-4000 mg of test every 5 days

5-7 drols per day....with 100-150 mg of dbol with it

300-400 mg of winny per day

4-5 cc of tren 100 mg/ml per day"[/color]




that seems ridiculous. I don't think even Ronnie use that much
Title: Re: Massive Frank McGrath
Post by: Stavios on July 27, 2006, 03:01:56 PM
No...

The orals are ridiculous and the EQ pre-contest is very high.

Other than that though, as far as doing 9-10 grams of gear each week I can see it.  There was a dude on a message board that was doing 10 grams a week.  People do it, as crazy as it is.

Frank is from Newfoundland and I can't see his access to gear being that great but I suppose you can get gear anywhere.

gear's cost in region like this is fucking high.

I met a guy at a contest who told be he was paying 1400 $ canadian for a box of GH  :o :o :o
Title: Re: Massive Frank McGrath
Post by: Stavios on July 27, 2006, 03:09:22 PM
Last I checked Newfoundland was pretty poor though.  My family had to move out of St. John's in 1989 due to lack of work and St. John's is the richest city in Newfoundland - one of only two cities actually, along with Gander.  Maybe Frank's family was doing well or he saved up money or something, because the bodybuilding lifestyle is an expensive one.

I'm thinking that Frank has one of my favourite physiques among current pros.  He competes at 5'11 and about 245.

I saw him when he was approximatly 275 and pretty tight  last year at the canadian championship.

he is 6'' cause I am 5"11 and he was taller than me

He is fucking huge but he still doesn't look "too much" if I can say that

a friend of mine is 5'7 and currently 260 lbs and I wouldn't want his look..... he looks like a tank

Post by: Stavios on July 27, 2006, 05:09:37 PM
Are you sure it wasn't posture?  I've seen pictures of him next to guys whose heights have been verified and he looks around 5'11.  6'0 is believable though.

yeah maybe it was the posture but he still seem a little taller than me

he must be on a shit load of GH cause he had so many veins popping out of everywhere it was crazy ( he wasn't that lean)

Could this be a legit 27" waist?

I doubt it.

BTW what is the damn standart for measuring waist?? Standing relaxed,vacuming,aroudn the belly button,around the narrowest point...WTF is it?!

Cause if its with vacum around the narrowest point as shown in that old picture of Flex and Joe,then all those 28" waists dosent soudn that impressive  :-\

Well I care.  ;D

I can't afford to lose height.  Maybe when I'm 50 I'll invest in a pair of chunky heals so that I look 5'10.  :D

Does anyone remember the Frank McGrath / SHOT controversy on BB.com?

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=179130 (http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1881271-10409943?url=http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=179130)

It might be that someone stole pics of Frank from a little known Canadian board and posted his cycles and vast knowledge of gear for years or it may be that Frank himself was posting, became popular after winning the CBBF nats and needed to coverup what he had posted so that people didn't have proof of how much gear he took:

"4 cc of eq per day pre contest

3000-4000 mg of test every 5 days

5-7 drols per day....with 100-150 mg of dbol with it

300-400 mg of winny per day

4-5 cc of tren 100 mg/ml per day"

Things that make you go "hmmmmmmmm...?"

Frank has one of my favourite pro builds - size AND height!  He's a good looking guy to boot - not bloated and bald like most pros.  Pictured below with his girlfriend.  His sister is also a competitor.

Is Frank McGrath currently still in Newfoundland?  No wonder he isn't competing - travel costs would be very high.  I think AnimalPak would be smart to sponsor him to make it down to the Ironman and from there he could probably snag an invite to the Arnold.

Tim, here is some info for your files:

He looks amazing, Im a fan of his physique,

(http://forum.bodybuildingpro.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3388)

BUT, that being said, I dont envy him for what he has to take to look like that. That cycle is nauseating to even read...jabbing the shit out of your body until you run out of sites..to look a certain way that if you stop, it will all just dissapear..
Im a fan of pros, always will be, but thats something I just cant do.

Yeah, I dunno if I buy that...he's not all that giant, and that amount should be enough to get a 6'10" guy huge. Plus have you ever tried injecting 10+cc/day? Plus another 12-16 (the test) every 5 days. It's do-able, but after a month or so you run out of spots, have so many lumps all over the place, and are doing like 5-7 2cc injections each day to spread things out...or 2-4 5cc that end up all painful and ugly (lumps...especially w/o any fat to smooth things out) as sin.


That must be how you went from 210 to 260 in one year, then proceeded to go from 260 to 310 in one more year.

the funny thing is garraeth is a good sized dude but he just looks like a typical dude you'd see at a local strongman contest, nothing special at all, you would never guess in a million years that he does any more than 250-300mg. of test per week looking at that pic of him at his living room table.

I think it sums up the ironage standard.  It's not a matter of balance or harmony or symmetry or anything else, but just having a look which catches the eye and makes you say "Damn, I want to look like that."

Ironagers will deny it up and down, but it comes down to that.


Whats so bad about it? It just called "looking good"?

There was a dude I thought was juicing at my university.  He was 5'6 and is probably around 180 but being in good condition that goes a long way on a shorter guy.

Best excuse someone gave me for why he wouldn't be juicing: he's too poor.  I believe it because he had no money for school, let alone for juice or bodybuilding.  I wonder how Frank affords lots of gear and food being in a province like Newfoundland which is poor.  Frank said he spends $1,000 a month on food even when he's dieting.

Mate, a few of them work honest jobs, a few of them suck off businessmen, a few others sell E's to 14 year old girls whilst working the doors

Not very glamorous, but an honest post nonetheless

Exactly and that's what it comes down to.  Not "proportion" or "symmetry" or whatever.

To say Bob Paris beats any version of Ronnie in a contest is silly.  Pose by pose Ronnie beats him, but I agree Bob looks better, but I would never try to justify it by bodybuilding standards.

How could Ronnie if bodybuilding was still judged on any kind of a sane criteria beat Paris?

Guys, I KNOW EXACTLY what Frank McGrath took when he won Canadien Nats. I'm not going to tell you what he was taking but I will tell you that the TOTAL cost of his entire pre contest cycle was $1400. I don't know what he is taking now but as an amateur it wasn't much.
Title: Re: Massive Frank McGrath
Post by: UpTheDosage on August 20, 2006, 06:20:42 PM
$1400 is "not much" in the way of gear?  ???

Any newbies reading this, don't kid yourselves - if you did that much gear you would put on AT LEAST 20 pounds of mass just by eating a high protein diet.

No its "not much" when over half that cost is just GH. Come on by todays standards and the amounts people use, $1400 for a pre contest cycle is nothing.

Title: Re: Massive Frank McGrath
Post by: UpTheDosage on August 20, 2006, 06:47:12 PM
At the pro level, $1400 i s a joke, but to newbies it would be tons.  It is a lot of gear no matter how you cut it, but relative to a lot of the guys in the pro ranks he is doing ok.

Last I checked Newfoundland was poor though and even St. John's isn't doing too well.  Offhand, how does Frank make the money?  Is his family well off?

Yes to newbies it's alot, but Frank is a pro and not a newbie. Franks family does not have a lot of money and the only income he has is his contract from Universal and guest posings. He could be making alot more money, but many people say he's lazy including his sister. I don't know if he pays for his drugs himself now, but before he was a pro, a "sponsor" bought and took him all of his drugs. Thats how I know what he was taking.
Title: Re: Massive Frank McGrath
Post by: UpTheDosage on August 20, 2006, 07:02:39 PM
Well tell Frank I could get him in Musclemag if he's interested in an interview.  Have him drop me a line @ webmaster@bodybuildingpro.com, not to mention I could get him some press on my website.  He NEEDS to get a DVD out, it would sell like mad - I would see to it.  Someone needs to tell him to get on this stuff.  My guess is that he is not so much lazy, but too dedicated to working out and eating to think about these things.  My mom thought I was lazy because I didn't clean my room, but in reality I was focussing on my double major - it's called prioritizing.

Frank has TONS of appeal.  All the guys on here are fans of his because he has an awesome structure and he's tall too.  He has a marketable look - chicks will say he's good looking and how many pros do you hear them say that about?  Killer chest and arms.

You are exactly right. I'm not so sure lazy is the right word to use either. From what I've been told, Frank is just "settling" for mediocrity when he could be doing all of things that you mentioned. Hopefully someone will kick him in the ass and get him to realize this before it's too late.

I jacked these from www.musclemayhem.com/forum

Massive Frank McGrath - 5'11 and 9/16ths, 240 pounds shredded and on mayhem someone claimed a 28" waist, and that is probably not too far off.

I don't think you realize how truly small a 28" waist is. Flex Wheeler maybe had a 30" waist at the 93 Olympia and that is about the smallest we have ever seen (short of Buchanon which is an anomaly).

Yeah, I know.  My waist is 30" sucked in and 32" sticking out as much as possible and my waist is tiny.  Let's not forget I have nowhere near Frank's upper body mass and even on my small frame my waist looks small.

But I don't think 28" is too far off, like I said.  Maybe it is 32" or less.  Definitely tiny amongst pros.

From his sister Kyla:

Also, for those of you wondering about Frank's stats: He is 5'11 with 23" biceps, 18" forearms, 52" chest, 29" waist, 32" quads, and 18" calves while weighing 250 on stage and 280 in the offseason.

32" I can see, but 28" and 32" is a pretty big difference..

I jacked these from www.musclemayhem.com/forum

Massive Frank McGrath - 5'11 and 9/16ths, 240 pounds shredded and on mayhem someone claimed a 28" waist, and that is probably not too far off.

Matt, that is the first time in my life I saw somebodys height listed down to the sixteenth. Only you! :D

Stavios: McGrath got his pro card at age 24 - even younger than Heath!  Tom Prince said that he would probably have snuck in the top five at the USA nats in 2003.  No doubt the CBBF show is not as strong as the USA nats, but still very impressive for 24 years of age (or any age for that matter)!

http://forum.bodybuildingpro.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1545&stc=1

Stavios, how tall are you to the 16th of an inch?  Just over or just under 5'11?  I just want to make sure I have McGrath's height noted accurately.  You said he is taller than you right?

 ;D I would say that I am 5'10 and 13/16th of an inch actually

I am pretty sure Frank is 6"0  :o

Interesting to note that Kevin Levrone was said to have a large member.  Perhaps Earl1972 can shed some light on this.  ;D

Haislop is a legend :o During the Olympia broadcast in ESPN, Jim Quinn was heard to say that he witnessned Billy Smith measuring Haislop's bodyfat levels just before his 98th birthday, in Gold's gym, Venice. According to Jim, Haislop measured at 0.00% bodyfat levels, which was the lowest ever bodyfat levels recorded for a 98 year old :o

For those who are interested, the only other people who have achieved such low bodyfat levels are Flex wheeler and Batista from the WWE.

Jim Haislop could not have been 98 when his bodyfat was said to have been measured by Billy Smith.  According to Muscle Memory, Haislop was born in 1942.  Do the math.

Well not ALL the athlete look good but the same things can be said about the USAs.

I can tell you that right now, in my gym, 2 guys are pro material and they both do the canadians nationals next year.

based on the last nationals, they will win their class hand down if they are in shape !

And look out for Fouad Abiad ! this guys is incredible and WILL do great things in the pro ranks

Hey, at least his waist would still be a decent size (small) even for 195 pounds.  I would also guess that he would have pretty massive arms at that size even off gear since he seems to be a complete freak as far as arms go.
didn't you say that he was 6 feet or so? if so maybe he'd be bigger than that completely clean, he does seem to have a freaky amount of muscle cells in the arms and shoulders.

There are actually connections established between long winters and the moonshine drinking of Finns, Swedes and Norwegians.

It gets worse the further east you go, Russians being the baddest vodka consumers of the lot, in what is known as the Vodka Belt, going from Russia through Finland and most of Sweden. 8)

Finns have quite a reputation. They're known for drinking vodka and carrying knives. ;D
