I saw Clark lift at last year's APF championships, he's strong but there are several more impressive lifters around. His 1025 squat was miles high and, I believe, retroactively disqualified as a record. His reverse-grip bench allows him to touch the bar on his belly, considerably higher than his pecs or rib cage. With his short limbs and thick thighs, his dead lifts are less than many lighter lifters (including me) can do. The most impressive lifter at the APF champs was Scott Warman, as a light 275 lb lifter (~260 lbs) he squatted >950 lbs, benched >510 lbs and deadlifted >840 lbs, with all of these lifts being very clean and impressive. He would undoubtedly beat Clark in the total under strict judging. Of course APF meets are not tested for drugs; there are excellent lifters in the drug tested world, also. Last October I saw Vic Kennedy make an excellent squat of 944 lbs in an ADFPA meet at superheavy. He may be a better squatter than Clark, Clark may never have hit a legal depth with >944. -Phil Andrews

All you drug-free lifters and bodybuilders out there know from experience how scientific you have to be to avoid overtraining and recover from the shortest of workouts. When you see the training techniques of the top stars they are not even worth the paper they are printed on. I would place more value on the steam off my piss. Sorry to get all heated up about this, but I thank God the World Drug Free Powerlifting Federation is the fastest growing Powerlifting Organisation in the world.
