Early ageGrippaldi was born on September 27, 1946, in Newark, New Jersey in 1946 and was raised in nearby Belleville, New Jersey.[1][2] At an early age, Grippaldi was exposed to bodybuilding. One of his neighbors, Mike Gubliano, was a bodybuilder though he never competed in any events. Gubliano had a lot of influence on Grippaldi in the early years of his life. Gubliano excelled in training his arms. With arms of 22 inches, he was a man worth listening to when it came to working our your arms. In 1966, Gubliano ended up becoming a bodyguard for the model Twiggy. Grippaldi could not help but to start training with Gubliano's arm workouts as soon as he entered puberty. Gubliano took Grippaldi through his three-hour-long arm workouts. At only age 16, Grippaldi had 19-inch arms, which would later be what he was known for.[3] Weightlifting achievements
