Shawn Rhoden is looking in top form heading into the Olympia.

One of the top bodybuilders in the world and once considered to be the biggest threat to Phil Heath’s Olympia title, Shawn Rhoden has fell on some hard times as of late. Dropping in the rankings and suffering an injury ahead of the Arnold Classic 2018, Shawn Rhoden has had to battle through some tough times over the course of a year. Yet despite that fact, Rhoden still maintains an impressive physique and shouldn’t be slept on at this year’s Olympia.

Constantly placing within the top 5 and looking to subvert expectations, Shawn Rhoden has been pushing himself hard in the gym, hoping to make some crucial improvements to his physique that could make all the difference when he steps up on stage.

As the 2018 Olympia draws near, Shawn Rhoden is looking pretty impressive and with the time off to both recover and revitalize himself, the man nicknamed ‘Flexatron’ could end up showing a truly impressive physique when he’s under the lights. In a recent Instagram post, Shawn Rhoden gives the masses a peak at his physique update.
