What's your name for the record? - Anthony Wayne Clark.
How old are you? - 34 years old.....born 1966 in the Philippines.
How long have you been lifting? - I've been lifting for approximately 21 years.
So more than half your life. How did you get started? - "I was a skinny little kid just trying to look for an outlet. I remember my dad had a 110-lb Sears weight set and a DP bench so I started lifting there so I thought if I could build my body I could protect myself.
Cool. Ok, 83 was your first record. Age 15. How much was it? - 370. At 16, I did 440. At 17, I set a high school record at 520. At 18 I did 600, at 19 I did 612, at 22 I did 650, 23 I did 675, did 700 at 24, 720 at 25, and at 26, I did 735 and then I went on to do 748, 750 at Texas, the Great Bench Press of America Meet. I attempted 800; I had 14 attempts at 800 and then in 96 you know we did 770, 780 at the Olympia and then 785 and at the Arnold Classics we hit 800 in 97.
So. Here we are today and what's going on with Anthony Clark? - Well, we're doing a lot of things, Tim. You know, as you can see, I'm doing a lot more ministry working with a lot of kids, speaking to a lot of schools all over the country and doing that. But also too, I have my own line of supplement, trying to promote that all over the country called Terra Forma. So I'm working with a company called Terra Forma and it's really been pretty good. We haven't done a lot of marketing but we've been doing that, I've been on the phones. So not only that, I have my own gym you know, the PowerHouse. My partner and I, Steve Wickersham, we're building another gym out in Caty so that's approximately out about 60-90 days and it'll be finished. So I'm doing a lot. Then got a video coming out pretty soon.
So that gets us to today. So in '93-98, you've been setting records in the bench, the total and the squat but mainly in the bench you've been setting records 700+ for the last say, 5-6 years. - Right.
So how does it feel when today people hear about you going to lift again, the first thing out of their mouths is "Oh, he's making a comeback" - Well, I think because they're saying I'm making a comeback; I've been on a hiatus. I've been just, you know, doing a lot of speaking engagements and not competing like I used to full boar. Hitting 2 or 3, I mean, 3 or 4 meets a year. They've been like 1 or 2 meets a year now. So. Now I know, another thing about the 1 or 2 meets a year.
What's this crap about bomb outs? - Ok. I think the bomb outs. Let me just say one thing. Not making excuses because I'm not a man of excuses bombing out, the bomb outs have been pretty much, you know, I still have a lot on my plate, you know, training's been adequate, not like it used to be, like, since now I'm like a business person too I also have to pay attention to my business. I have to put food on the table and clothes on my back. But let me just say this. The bomb outs. They've been not because I couldn't do the weight , its because I guess you know really training you have to be precise in training and I haven't been paying attention to details and so, but then like I said, there's no excuses and, uh, you know, I still am alive and I will compete again to make a successful lift.
Speaking of being alive, how do you feel every year you hear that you died? - I die laughing. Matter of fact, tell you the truth, Peter Thorn just told me, you know, I was speaking to Peter, he say's I just talked to someone and you just died. I say's, no he can't be dead because I just talked to him. I said, it kind of humors me. But I guess if people want me dead, that's just the way it is, you know? But I am alive and still lifting.
As far as your health, it is true that 6 months ago you were in the hospital? - No it's about a year ago now. About a year ago yeah I did go in the hospital and yes it was like a for a, lets see, something about my heart but it was really because of stress and I'd been working really hard and my immune system was really down and I did go in the hospital for like 12 days.
Well, physically what happened? - Physically I lost a lot of weight and I was just, uh, you know and, mental distraught because I just working real hard, had some problems, you know, I had some issues I had to deal with.
