"Killer of Giants" Shaun Clarida 6 weeks before Arnold Classic 2025

The American pocket bodybuilder Shaun Clarida, who at 157 cm tall and competing at around 80 kilograms is nicknamed "the giant killer", is preparing for his second appearance among the heavyweights at the prestigious Arnold Classic.

Clarida, who is a two-time winner of the world's most prestigious competition of the division up to 212 pounds, i.e. 212 Olympia, which he reigned in 2020 and 2022, has already shown several times that he is the rightful bearer of the aforementioned nickname "the giant killer".

In 2021, he managed to dominate the Legion Sports Fest Pro, where he competed in the Open category. In 2023, he even took part in the second most prestigious competition in the world , the Arnold Classic, where he finished in a very respectable fifth place among the heavyweights.

Last season, he again competed among the fighters without weight limit, in our EVLS Prague Pro, where he again did absolutely great, because he took an excellent third place!

Well, in six weeks this guy will get another start among the big boys when he will stand on the podium of the Arnold Classic for the second time in his career. Will he be able to climb a few more places on the results list here than he did in 2023?

Below you can see his current form, which he posted on his Instgram.
