“Doesn’t Look Real”: From a Skinny 16-Y.O. Boy to 350 Lbs, One of the World’s Biggest Bodybuilder’s Crazy Transformation Blows Up the Internet

Standing at 6’3 and weighing a whopping 350 lbs, Craig Golias is among the biggest bodybuilders on the planet. Interestingly, the bodybuilding giant’s last name rhymes with the mythical giant Goliath. In front of the average person, the 6’3 bodybuilder is nothing less than a mythical creature. However, as a teenager, Graig Golias’s physique wouldn’t even match David’s.

Earlier, the bodybuilding influencer took to Instagram to share his incredible 140-lbs transformation from a 16-year-old teenager to a mass monster. The bodybuilder reminisced about his journey and why he chose to transform his physique in such a drastic manner. Looking at the incredible transformation, the bodybuilding community couldn’t help but admire Golias.

Golias gained more than double his body weight

Craig Golias uploaded a side-by-side image, with the left one showing a lanky, long-haired teenager with a smile on his face. Nearly two decades and over 200 lbs later, Golias’ current physique looks cartoonishly huge in photo on the right. However, the former competitive bodybuilder might not have been as happy as he looked in the picture on the left. “Growth is painful… Change is painful… but nothing is as painful as being stuck somewhere that you do not belong,” he wrote in the caption.

Golias confessed he wasn’t satisfied with his physique and might’ve even suffered from body image issues as a teen. That’s why the then-140-lb teen took up bodybuilding. However, despite becoming one of the biggest bodybuilders in the world, Golias shows no signs of slowing down. The 39-year-old even had a word of encouragement for his followers.

“Follow your dreams, stay away from negativity, work hard, and watch your dreams become a reality,” Golias told his followers. He also blew the collective minds of the bodybuilding community.

Bodybuilding fans couldn’t believe their eyes

Fans had a hard time believing that such transformation was even possible. “Whattaaaa… Craig on the left has been eaten by Craig on the right,” wrote one fan. “Doesn’t look real,” stated another fan. However, one fan was appreciative of the transformation and wrote, “Such an incredible transformation.” Meanwhile, others took inspiration, and some cracked jokes.

“It really is a phenomenal transformation. I’m going to do it too, but I still have a long way to go until I reach 160 kg dry,” claimed one fan. Craig Golias has put on so much muscle that his head looks disproportionately smaller compared to his physique. Many fans pointed it out. “Tell your cranium that things have changed. LOL! Insanely huge,” joked one fan.
