Collin Clarke is an Indiana man who fulfilled his life’s dream of becoming and competition as a certified bodybuilder.
Amazingly, one year ago, Clarke who is barely 22-years old, was overweight and out of shape, but he pulled it together and trained and made the Kentucky Muscle Competition in Louisville to become FIFTH place in his class.
When you consider all the obstacles that Clarke overcame such as, overweight, depression and his Down Syndrome to compete, it’s amazing and inspirational to people who think they could never do something like this themselves.
The coach that they got for Clarke to train him is Gleen Ubelhor, Ubelhor has been body building for 30 years. Ubelhor dedicated his last performance to Clarke, calling him the most inspirational person he’s ever met.
Uberlhor said, “The improvements in his cognitive abilities, his social skills, his diction has improved. And a lot of people have the misconception that bodybuilding is done out of vanity, or it’s self-serving, Collin has proved that is not the case.”
Clarke’s neighbor even said, “We’ve always been really close with Collin, he’s such a great kid. But to see this transformation in his physique, it’s so great for his health. He’s just done such an outstanding job.”
Clarke said, “I’m gonna keep bodybuilding. It’s my dream. In a long time, the Arnold Classic. I’ll keep on doing this.”
Clarke also was awarded “most inspirational” prize along with his fifth place.
