Craig Golias-College Jock to Muscle God!

Any chance of a timeline?

[arpeejay]

First pic he was 21 and about 185 lbs., according to his FB fan page. Last 5 pix are current (summer 2011) and he's about 300-305 lbs. I'm not sure but I think he's about 28 now (+ / - 1) so the timeline would be about 6-8 years?

Awesome, regardless!

PS:

He's 6'3" tall...

Craig has been impressive at each stage. I love the visual timeline of his progress. It's amazing that he continues to improve when already at such a high level. Here's hoping for even more!

The first time I saw him...

I wish he'd take more pix like this one: relaxed and with his shoulders squared.

In all the more recent pix he's all "crabbed" or hunched forward.

go Craig! go!

altho he has somewhat of an unusual structure, the kind that bbing judges do not favor, much like Greg Kovacs didn't do well on stage and evntually left competitive bbing. However i think and hope that Craig doesn't give a hoot and will continue to get bigger & freakier

[hallolujah]

His body of work is so admirable already that the very thought of him getting even bigger boggles the mind. Keep on growing.

[boricua1]

love the transformation... so fuckin huge. thick all over ... hot

[sergel02]

hmm i kinda prefer him in that first pic and the second pic the most. Now he seems too big for my taste.

[chr1s_87]

I kinda wonder when people like sergel02 above say things like "I prefer him smaller," why are they even at a muscle growth website?

It's possible to appreciate growth (little to big) without necessarily adhering to the "bigger is always better" concept. For some people (I'm not one of them...) there's a point beyond which "that's too much..."

Yeah, remember different people have different "ranges" of size preference (if you want to call it that).

For instance had he gone from twink to first picture size, I would consider his size and shape "fulfilled" from my PoV. Obviously for him it wasn't so he passed by that point. Also, he is friggin massive in that pic imho.

What would make him sexier now is if he could be more cut... then again if he walked into my room later tonight looking like he does now I definitely will be harder than Kryptonian steel.

[bigbearny]

well I'm defiantely one that falls into the bigger is better camp.. although there are exceptions.. i think he is damn hot in the last pics but would even drool over him in the 11th pic too

OFF TOPIC: I have my limits but it all depends on the man. Some guys have a bone structure that supports, maybe even DEMANDS huge muscles. Those guys look hot when they're massive. Noah Steere comes to mind, for example. Other men, however, just look like mutant freaks. It's all about focusing on more than size. What about symmetry and definition?

So, with that said, Craig is sliding into "too big" territory for me. He doesn't look like he can move properly. That's not attractive. I think everyone has their natural limits and should respect them. But that doesn't mean I don't love huge men. I just want them to be as huge as nature intended.

I totally agree with this. It's actually kind of sad to see guys that are so big (probably thanks to Steroids) that they find it impossible to walk without semi-waddling or "switching". Or they can't move their arms around like how a normal person can. You'd think they'd stop after becoming almost-too-huge-to-move-properly, but... Nope.

I guess the pros of being that big is it will take forever for that muscle to atrophy when they become old, and they'd never have to worry about osteoporosis either. Yay health-benefits!

[suma]

What makes you guys say that Craig's so big he can hardly move like normal?
in the few vids out there, his movements seem normal.

[t3stsubject]

Too big? I wanna see him with another 100 lbs.

[nnnrg]

His starting point is where I would desperately love to GET to.

[msllover]

Awww. I hear ya bud. Hugs. :P

I really wish I had the incredible inner drive to maintain an phenominal physique.

[diofa]

I remember the first time I saw photos of Craig, they were all from a series including the second photo, and these were some of the hottest to me. I haven't seen them online in years and know that they must be out there somewhere. I recall the first picture of this post with the camera phone coming *after* the mostly-clothed photos.

The earlier pictures are hotter to me than the later ones because he clearly has freak potential but still fit into normal clothes and had am early-20s cuteness going on. It's easy to picture seeing him in normal clothes and then being shocked once a jacket comes off. But I agree with the comment about his hunched-over flexing. I'd like to see him simply wearing the closest thing to regular clothes possible and just standing normally for once.

If anybody has the original series of photos containing the second one posted here, please share them.

Anyone's boat missing sails?

Seriously, I've seen barn doors that weren't as wide.

Most of his earlier pics were on his MySpace profile, GUNS. When he was living in Orange County, CA, he was my trainer. He's realky a nice guy. Eventhough, a self-proclaimed meathead, he has a great sense of humor. A bit on the goofy side. I remember his first NPC competition. He's gotten way huger. He was in an amateur wrestling dvd and made sort of a workout dvd. I lost a good buddy when he moved to Vegas.

Wow, to go from 185 to over 300 lb's of muscle man, what a man. Love it.
