Craig Monson, first started lifting weights in 1962 when he was 12, and was considered one of the most muscular guys in Los Angeles during his late teens in the late 1960s.

From 1967 to 1970 he worked out in his back yard, and his close neighborhood friend's garage, during this era. Future Crip founder, Raymond Washington, got his start in weightlifting hanging around Craig Monson and other Avenues.

When Craig he arrived at Tracy and San Quentin prisons after a 1970 arrest for murder, he was already the largest inmate on the yard. When he got out of prison, he decided to compete as a bodybuilder and throughout the 1980s he competed several times.

This video shows Craig Monson working out at City Gym in Los Angeles located on Figueroa where the Staples Center currently stands.

Location: Los Angeles
