FRANK MCGRATH’s rapid rise, catastrophic

Frank went through a tragedy that almost killed him but he defined the odds & competed not just in a few bodybuilding show this year but he also competed on the Olympia stage. He's known as the Animal guy with the huge veiny forearms. I wanna see what Frank & Hany Rambod have in stores for him in the 2012 bodybuilding season.
