It was a really important moment in my career that I will never forget, says Shaun Clarida about the Arnold Classic 2023

"The Pocket Bodybuilder", Shaun Clarida, has long been one of the best in his category and specifically in the 212lb division, as he was able to win the 212 Olympia title in 2020 and 2022. However, during the beginning of this month, Clarida decided to step up among the heavyweights in the Open division at the 2023 Arnold Classic.

Although many predicted that this competitor would surprise at the Arnold and break into the top 3, for example, it didn't happen and Clarida ended up finishing in fifth place.

It was a really important moment in my career that I will never forget.
All I can say is... I'M BACK!"
