In his recent picture, Clarida showcased his mind-boggling shoulder muscles, which have grown wider as compared to his physique in Mr.Olympia 2022. Moreover, along with the caption, he gave it back to his critics, who would say that he could not improve anymore. Clarida wrote, “The ones that tell you that you can’t grow and improve in a short amount of time in between shows aren’t training hard enough and doing what’s needed to be better!”

The 40-year-old bodybuilder also added that in the first picture, he weighed 184 lbs, and in the second he was 192 lbs. Indeed, he has shown great finesse in the the last couple of months between Mr.Olympia 2022 and Arnold Classic 2023.

Bodybuilding veterans on Clarida’s Arnold Classic participation

Shaun Clarida’s muscles may be creating a lot of hype on Instagram now, but a few veterans have been in his favor since January. During a podcast interview on Muscle and Fitness, retired bodybuilder Dennis James mentioned Clarida’s participation in Arnold Classic 2023. He stated in the interview, “He’s going to be so much better conditioned and he’s going to sneak in and he’s going to kill a few guys.”

James believed Clarida could out-condition his competitors easily, jeopardizing their winning chances. Moreover, in the interview, another bodybuilding veteran, Tony Doherty, agreed with James. He added that Shaun Clarida looked like the legendary bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman as he had the same kind of conditioning as ‘The King’.
