“HULK” the bodybuilder showed off his incredible transformation into a muscular beast – and is showing others how to meet their bodybuilding goals.
Craig Golias – who is from Ohio but is now based in Las Vegas – has gained more than 200 pounds and now weighs a muscular 352 pounds since he began bodybuilding in 2003.
The Greek-American bodybuilder said he gained his nickname “Hulk” when growing from a slim 150 pounds to the 352 he weighs today.
At six feet three inches, he built up his frame and put on pounds of muscle by hitting the gym.
Pictures show Golias flexing, with toned abs and massive bicep muscles.
He’s amassed nearly 500,000 Instagram followers as he documents his ripped physique.
Some online critics have accused the bodybuilder of using steroids – while he’s never claimed to be a natural athlete.
Golias reportedly said he had to put in hours of hard work to build his muscular frame.
He used to compete, but now helps other reach their goals with online training.
“I do online coaching for a living, coaching people and helping them to reach their physique goals,” the bodybuilder told Newsflash.
In an Instagram post last year, “Hulk” wrote that his journey “can’t be done overnight” and that it “isn’t always the easiest.”
He added: “Once you reached your goal that hard work becomes a reward.”
Golias told others to keep working hard to reach their own goals.
