Caitlin Clark’s Arms Draw Attention After New Workout Photos Surface
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark's arms were among the biggest stories of the last WNBA offseason.
Clark was subject to physical defense from peers during her rookie 2024 campaign. Therefore, the focus for Clark last offseason was to add size so that she'd be better equipped to handle this same treatment during her second WNBA campaign. And that's exactly what she did, which was shown by various photos and other instances where her more muscular and toned arms took center stage.
However, this didn't necessarily work out as Clark intended, as the 24-year-old only played in 13 regular season games because of various soft tissue injuries to her lower body. It's impossible to say how much her change in physical stature contributed to these ailments, but Clark's bigger arms certainly didn't help keep her on the court.

There has been a hope from some Clark fans that their beloved guard will revert to her stature from Iowa, where she didn't have as much muscle on her frame.
However, that doesn't appear to be what Clark is doing, if recent photos are any indication.
