Shawn Rhoden is Looking Powerful, Vascular and Shredded Weeks Out From Olympia

Shawn Rhoden is a master of size & shred!

The 2018 Olympia is just 12 days away which means all the top contenders in the Open Weight bodybuilding division are really dialing in their training and nutrition to prepare for the biggest bodybuilding show in the world. Defending champion Phil Heath has had a firm stranglehold on the division and seems intent on making history as the only 3rd bodybuilding to win eight straight Olympia titles. But he still has some stiff competition, one of which is Shawn Rhoden.

One of the top IFBB bodybuilders in the world, Shawn Rhoden has proven himself to be the elite of the elite. He may not have had the best placing in the 2017 show, the veteran bodybuilder is looking to right some wrongs as he heads into the 2018 competition as Shawn said is ‘This year is complete redemption’! While injuries set him back earlier this year, Shawn Rhoden is back on track and looking to make a big impression at the 2018 Mr. Olympia.

Just 12 days out, Shawn Rhoden looking incredible in recent progress pictures, in his recent Instagram post, Shawn Rhoden shows off his great conditioning:

“Wake up every morning with a purpose and plan. No one said life was going to be easy especially if you chose to be a bodybuilder. Execute your plan, stay in your own lane. Stay hungry stay humble and be patience.”
