Shaun Clarida is a native of New Jersey, USA and was a small kid among his classmates. That didn't change later on, when teenagers usually experience their growth spurts. Clarida remained at his current height of 157.5 cm and a weight of 44 kilograms at the time.
He lived out his passion for sports in basketball, wrestling, baseball and gymnastics. Although it was particularly difficult for someone Clarida's size.
Because he became a victim of bullying again and again.
But he didn't let all the negative comments and perceptions of others discourage him from continuing to exercise.
He began weight training in his junior year to get stronger for wrestling and like many smaller people, Clarida has found that building muscle was relatively easy.
Little did young Shaun know back then that he had what it took to be an extremely successful bodybuilder. At a local gym, he crossed paths with a bodybuilder who helped him learn more about the muscle building process.
It was at this point that the love and passion for pro bodybuilding was born.
Shaun Clarida built a lot of muscle and decided to prove himself on the bodybuilding stages.
