Anthony Clark is something unique now in the sport. A man who does most of his "talking" by lifting on the platform. Probably pigeon-holed by many as simply a fantastic bench presser, Anthony Clark is a great three lift powerlifter. Anthony Clark has used his unique reverse grip bench press style to hold the current all-time bench press world record. This lift is also a topic of heated debate by many in the powerlifting world. When pressed for a reply, Anthony shrugs and says, "There's always next time when I beat that record too." However quiet Anthony may be in person, his list of accomplishments yell loudly for all to hear. A brief synopsis of his powerlifting-related accomplishments follow below: Some of Anthony Clark's accomplishments First teen to Bench Press 600 pounds 1986 A 1025 pound squat 1988 First man to reverse grip ench press 700 pounds 1992 First man to bench press over 700 pounds 800 pound bench press record at the Arnold Classic 1997 1031 pound squat 771 Deadlift World record powerlifting total of 2600 pounds He has successfully benched 700 pounds or greater 17 times in competition Talks to youth and spreads the meaning of the gospel sometimes up to 270 days a year

For those who weren't lucky enough to have met him, Anthony was one of the greatest and sincerest individuals I have ever known. He was just out in Vegas a few months ago, and I thank God I was able to see him them, for one last time. I'm going to try to fly out for the service on Thursday. Until then, I won't be on FTs for a bit.

I saw him at an evangelical youth outreach program..I cant even remember the groups name because it was a few yrs back but I remember him and the other powerlifter and their intensity. The world has suffered a great loss. God bless and comfort his loved ones right now.
