1. Clark's path to his dream began just over a year ago when he became friends with bodybuilder and trainer Glenn Ubelhor. Ubelhor, who also works at Bob's Gym North, says Clark's passion for bodybuilding started out of simple curiosity.
2. According to Ubelhor, in between workouts, he practices posing in preparation for the upcoming bodybuilding competitions. Clark began to imitate him.
3. So a friendship began between them, based on a mutual passion for bodybuilding, and Ubelhor began training Clark. After a year of training, Clark decided that he would enter a bodybuilding competition.

6. Clark is completely passionate about his diet and training. The transformation has had a positive effect on his mood, which makes him happier. “I am so happy that I am doing this. Bodybuilding is in my blood and I've always wanted to do it since I was a kid," says Clarke.
