The biggest man on a bodybuilding stage doesn’t always win, and several pros earned the nickname “Giant Killer” because they beat larger men and delivered surprises on contest day. The first Giant Killer was Danny Padilla, who at 5-foot-2 and 170 pounds beat many larger men and placed fifth at the 1981 Mr. Olympia. The cover of this month’s MD highlights a modern-day Giant Killer, two-time 212 Mr. Olympia Shaun Clarida, who at 174 pounds won an Open show, the Legion Sports Fest. If Shaun isn’t a Giant Killer, who is?
