When you first see "BIG FRANK" Budelewski 6'4" 260lb frame with 26" arms and a 64" chest, you may be taken back a bit. But it's when he starts to speak that you realize he is something different in this world.

Having plans to play football, with his life mapped out for him, tragedy struck one night as he was a passenger in a car going 85mph. A crash that would have claimed the life of a normal sized person, left him nearly immobile for 6 years. Going through many operations and rehab. Ending his football career and any hope of playing pro.

Becoming self destructive and obese, he decided to go against doctor orders and took his body into his own hands. BELIEVING that if he built enough muscle that it would take place of his damaged connective tissue allowing him to function seemingly normal.

He lost 145lb and began to rebuild, setting his goals toward stepping in the bodybuilding stage. Driven by the doubt, jokes, and mockery of others who did not believe he could do it.

But in early 2001 he did take the stage and at the shock of everyone at that show, won his first competition. Continuing to compete, and to grow, he turned pro in 2008 and then competed as a pro in two world championships before tragedy stuck a second time.

While he was an officer for 10years, doing annual disturbance control training he was accidentally struck in the head causing a severe traumatic brain injury resulting in amnesia and many other serious complications.

But once again, when people counted him out, he fought to get himself back, but this time was more difficult. He first tried scaling way back in size. Forcing himself to lose hard earned muscle hoping it would improve his condition, and he even took the pro stage as a Muscle Model to have goal to keep him on track. Although his incredible condition and shape got him several magazine covers and write ups in bodybuilding.com resulting in being awarded "man of the year" in 2013 on the site, his injury and condition continued to decline.

So he disappeared from social media and the fitness industry until 2years later when he was spotted at a fitness expo walking around at a thunderous 345lb.

A representative for 5% Nutrition had a booth at the expo and at first thought it was Rich Piana himself, but instead it was the newly transformed BIG FRANK. She asked to take a picture with him and tagged the late Piana who started following Big Franks new IG page which only had a couple hundred followers.

Inspired by what Frank was posting, Piana wrote him and asked for his story. Once reading it, Piana had felt he found something out of the ordinary. Someone with similar mindset, size, devotions to others, and a way of touching those he comes in contact with.

He quickly brought Big Frank to the 5% Team, announced him online, and started bringing him to expos. Telling people he was 5% before there was 5%.

During his time with Piana he used his newly exploding social media platform to help others. He did public speaking engagements to empower those with invisible injuries. He led donation drives for those who met with tragedy. He became a member of the Guardian Angels, going to schools and community programs to speak against bullying those who are different, and among all of the his acts of goodwill, possibly the most popular would be an armwrestling match that could possibly be the most viewed match in History.

Since Rich Pianas death, BIG FRANK has continued to impact lives, and was inducted into both the Weightlifting and Masters of Martial Arts halls of fame. However noticing a distinct change in his friends company. Wanting to stay to honor the man who made such a huge impact in his life, but reached a point where he felt it was no longer that same company.

Respected by other previous members of 5% who have established Chaos nutrition as a solid company focusing on the same principals that Piana did, Big Frank was asked to come onboard and is excited to become what Rich Piana said he knew he could and should be.

And so our journey begins.
RIDE OR DIE.
