Frank was born in a small rural town in Newfoundland, Canada. No streetlights, no McDonald's, nothing. Growing up in a middle-class family, he had two hard-working and loving parents, and an older sister.
But, McGrath wasn’t always the muscular individual that you see today. He has mentioned being a skinny kid, in comparison to his classmates, while growing up and would always get picked last to be on teams during physical activities.
When he was 14, he started working out in his parent's basement with a simple setup. After three years, he was benching 300 pounds. Then he went to college at 18, but he stated that he didn't take it seriously and mainly just partied for three years. In a recent Q&A, McGrath confessed to using his student loans to compete in his first bodybuilding competition (2000 Newfoundland Championships) which he did win.
McGrath’s arms and forearms are very impressive, as well as his crazy vascularity which is very recognizable. His genetics play a role in his build, but he’s also worked hard to develop his physique.
When McGrath was in his early twenties, he competed in a few shows and eventually earned his Pro card in 2003 at age 25. He had great potential, with his impressive proportions competing in several more shows. However, he, unfortunately, suffered from multiple injuries and was in a car accident several years later, which prevented him from competing.
