But, there is a forgotten legend from that fabled time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn OG of street and stage, Craig Monson outweighed Arnold by 40 pounds, dwarfed Lee Haney and had superior aesthetics. A mass-monster with Michelangelo-like symmetry, Monson was that rare mixture of form and functional strength.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow his story AND his workouts can be told, shared, and understood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in the Jim Crow South, Craig was taken by his mother on a Greyhound bus exodus to the land of sun-kissed beaches and Hollywood dreams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA world away from the Pacific Ocean, Craig came of age in Los Angeles' inner city. In this urban environment, Monson found street heroes and became one himself by founding the notorious gang \"The Avenues\" (a forerunner to the infamous Crip gang).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRealities of life in South Central Los Angeles eventually landed Craig in some of the most feared penitentiaries. Inside of the system, Monson built his body into a mountain of muscle and, upon his release, set his sights on bodybuilding glory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraining across the Southland and putting on spectacles of strength at the renowned Muscle Beach, Craig became the biggest and strongest bodybuilder of the 1980s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearn about his mythic journey from urban streets to the bodybuilding stage!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollow the exact training programs utilized by the legendary Craig Monson!\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52605354443059,"sku":"9798524700216","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MkZTVHJRQ3Erc1FqaG1PVStPOFpIdz09.webp?v=1761775162","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/craig-monson-og-bodybuilding-legend-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
