Collin Clark has had an amazing 60-pound transformation and just competed for the first time.

Collin Clark just competed in his first bodybuilding competition of his life, and he couldn't be happier. Clarke is an athlete with Down Syndrome and an inspiring story behind his choice to become a competitor.

The 22-year-old was working the front desk at his Bob's Gym in Evansville, Ind., when he struck up a friendship with trainer Glenn Uberhor about a year ago. Clarke would watch Uberhor practice his competition poses in the mirror and when he was done, would practice them by himself. With Uberhor's help, Clarke began a strict weight training and diet program to get into shape with the hopes of one day competing.

Clarke ended up losing 60 pounds and got his overall body fat percentage from over 30% to under 10%,

Collin Clarke competed in the Kentucky Muscle Bodybuilding Championships in Louisville and placed fifth in the competition. His story and determination was so inspiring, even four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler even noticed. Cutler sent Clarke a gift that he was given during the completion.

Congratulations to Collin Clarke on his win and his inspiring story!
