Craig Titus – The Way to Professional Bodybuilding

Craig Titus was born in Detroit, the city where you can find the centre of all the big car companies in the USA. During high school he got his first connection with a gym and was immediately struck down with love for bodybuilding as soon as he saw results. In 1983 he weighed 65 Kg. and was 1.65 m. high. After high school he grew 5 more cm. until he was 20 and a little more afterwards.

Craig Titus started working in underground excavation, at the subway, with his father. He is still working there but Craig quit after 3 years and started a job as a personal trainer in order to earn a living while his mind was centered on a professional bodybuilding career. This is what he did since 1988. In 1991 he weighed in at 93 kg. and won the Ironman Cup for amateurs. In 1995 he weighed 103 kg. but Craig Titus lost the nationals in front of Denis Newman, which got the professional card Craig was looking for. In 1996 he decided that would be his last attempt to win the nationals and to obtain the professional bodybuilding card the winner automatically gets. If he would have won a professional career would have been a reality. If not he would come back to underground excavations with his father. It was a turning point for Craig Titus as he was turning 30 and MET-RX, a company that sponsored the bodybuilder in the past three years would have taken back the contract if he lost the nationals. His wife also divorced him after three years of loosing and not being able to raise money to raise his family, which grew with the birth of his daughter.

As you can imagine Craig Titus won the nationals and got a great two year contract with MET-RX. He became a professional bodybuilder and he categorizes himself as a refined professional, a category that includes people like Lee Labrada, Flex Wheeler and Shawn Ray among others. Craig said monsters are people like Dorian Yates, Nasser El Son Baty, Paul Dillett, Kevin Levrone and Ronnie Coleman.
