I once use to talk to his daughter. He has a son and a daughter. Met him in Washington with poster of him and Arnold in his garage. He did not play bout his baby girl. I respected OG. He was a real one. Facts hands down

He has definitely been completely wiped out from bodybuilding history. I have been studying Golden Era bodybuilding for years and this is the first time I've heard of him.

@@jerhamilon8837 lol those werent serious nominations
This brotha is well known to me 🤜🏿🤛🏿💪🏿😎 still to this day much love to this brotha I ordered one of his books he has published as well.
Arnold definitely acknowledges him
bromance moment, epic variety
272 lbs is insane. Dude's a beast
That f'd up he went to jail. Defending yourself, family and your home shouldnt be a crime anywhere. Its practically illegal to defend yourself in the UK
That's california for you
He was defending his home while black.
@@SPL0869Being black really has nothing to do with it when your state requires you to retreat
@@ggggloveking9419 it’s just as likely to happen in my home state of Texas. I’ve been living this reality for 54 years in this skin; I know what I’m talking about.
@@SPL0869 Texas has one of the best stand your ground statutes in the nation. You can stand your ground in your home, vehicle, work place, or anywhere else you are legally entitled to be.
Shout out to Craig Munson.. still alive n kickin!
What was his street name in the avenues?
@@strictly45s6 he went by his real name
@@NevaEye interesting. Thank you for your speedy response.
@@strictly45s6 they called him Truck
@@TheeGemstone I appreciate that. I thought he was chilibean.
From my understanding he was never a. Crip the two kids that looked up to him started the crips..he wasn't as known like Arnold but highly documented in California's history
I heard he slapped Raymond Washington because he was false claiming Baby Avenues told him he couldn't be a Avenue then Raymond started the Crips
My respect for this gentleman ❤. He turned a negative event into something very positive. He needs to be known.
CRAIG. YOU'RE A LEGEND. SALUTE 🫡.
never forgetting his name what a legend
The guy he stood next to in prison was pretty jacked too 💪🏽💪🏽
I didn't want to say anything about that guy but that's bill grant
That guy was bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger damn well he is well known to me now a legendary crip bodybuilder
This is why bodybuilding is so badass , We don't discriminate here 💪🏻
You still are a HERO BROTHER .💪💪💪❣️❣️❣️YOUR STORY IS BEING TOLD. YOU PROTECTED YOUR MOMMA 💯😇
Craig Munson 💪🏾💪🏾
That's his name
4, 45 pounds barbell ➕️ a 45 pound bar ,overhead triceps curl,this man is a super human, he did the impossible.
HE NEEDS A MOVIE!
No he doesn't whatever you may think of him he is a killer through and through. You keep forgetting founding member of the crips. Who murdered there way across the city, sold drugs and generally terrorized anyone they could. He's not a good man.
Are you kidding me. A photo of Tuckie standing next to Arnold, that is legendary in it's own right. Salute to you O.G. Tuckie Williams. I'm not a gang banger but, I was raised to respect my elders regardless if they are drug dealers, gang bangers, investors etc, if we share a common goal and interest, in my opinion let's break break bread with each other instead.
Craig Munson he did and interview with CT fletcher and just his hands alone were huge
He was never a crip. Actually, TOOKIE WILLIAMS RAYMOND WASHINGTON and all OG CRIPS looked up to him
Wow
That's 100% true! Craig Munson was never a Crip! He started The Avenues to protect the neighborhood from outsiders mainly white gangs that came from nearby Southgate, Huntington Park areas.
@@oogmanes92hgwc16 that's interesting
Let's not forget that he Backhand Slapped that Mark @$$ B!+(H Raymond Washington and Raymond Ran off Crying like the B!+(H that he is (Smh) Suwooooooooooooo to the one&only true Warriors of the BANG
Tru
Bro really just showed us this guy overhead tricep extension with 225 for some lightweight reps like it was nothing 😂
Dream did it with 275lb. But yeah 225lb is already bananas.
Wow! Can't believe this is the first time I've heard of him! What a hulk!
When are you not allowed to unalive an intruder in your home?!
When you're black, especially during that time period.
In "liberal" areas these days
If this guy was in "Predator," i am sure Arnold and the others could have beaten that Alien quite easy.
Imagine how epic that bro handshake would've been between Craig and Arnold.
@@grandinquizitor7412*HECK YEA*
@grandinquizitor7412 Arnold wouldn't have wanted 2 get embarrassed, like he didn't in real life by Monson. It was a story told by Monson or someone else saying Arnold said nicely in a friendly way 2 Monson like no flexing and showing off now come on. It's a picture of them in Craig's documentary, u can look it up by his name
We do not always get a fair shake in life and its sad because potential athletes like Craig, get overshadowed and lost in the shuffle
You can call it racism its ok
@@Azazel2024 ok then how did Sergio beat Arnold then in the 60s? Sergio was darker than this dude! The victim mentally whining is getting real old.
@@JGD185 mfer we aren‘t talking bodybuilders competition we are talking how racist the laws in america is.
Shut your mouth because clearly you have no idea wtf your talking about
@@JGD185
Strange how your species ALWAYS get triggered over the TRUTH 🤣
@@JGD185victim? It’s facts. If it weren’t true there would’ve never been people like MLK, Rosa Parks, T.Marshall, Malcolm X, The Black Panthers, ect… You’re being Naive
He ain't a gansta.. his an double O.G for protecting mum ❤
DAMN 🤯 TO BE A GIFTED MAN IS THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THIS BRUV.
🙌🏽🙏🏼🙌🏽🌟🙌🏽♾️
We got Biscuit Olivia Before GTA6
yeah
This was before GTA1 💀
😂😂
The guy locked up with him didn’t look to far behind him in size. He was probably the same size as Arnold.
I never watched much bodybuilding. Thanks for his bio.
This man is true Legend!
Good ol Craig Munson
I know him, that's the guy that slapped Raymond Washington
Yep
Tell us more
He was really a bad boy then
Raymond (and Tookie) started the crips.
He didn't become a bodybuilder because he was massive, he was massive because he was a bodybuilder.
