But life has not been easy for Don. The athlete faced dire situations in his childhood and had a tough time growing up after the death of his mother. But he has set all that aside and dedicated his life to building his body. Finally, after years of training, he achieved pro status at the 2014 NPC Minnesota State Light Heavyweight competition.

Charles Griffen’s mindset at the start of the new season

Initially drawn to sports like football, baseball, and basketball in his high school years, Don ventured into strength training. It was not before his mother’s death and a subsequent spree of drug abuse that he started working towards a healthier lifestyle.

Today he weighs roughly 245 lbs and stands tall at 5ft 9’. Charles believes that bodybuilding saved his life. It helped to introduce structure and discipline in his life and helped him become an IFBB Pro. The two-time IFBB Pro League champion is prepared to shock the bodybuilding community at Mr. Olympia 2022. Griffen has a very realistic take as he heads for his big win. Even though he is preparing to outshine his competitors, he hopes to secure a position in at least the top 10 list.
