"Collination” was created from the dreams of a 22 year-old, Collin Clarke. Collin has had many aspirations and dreams, some he stuck with and obtained, some he outgrew, some fell through, some he is still working on. Like many young men he enjoys pumping iron and following the WWE and various wrestlers and bodybuilders. As a result Collin began to contemplate his journey to become a bodybuilder and perform on stage.

Although Collin has Down Syndrome, he has never been afraid to take on challenges as they came his way. Before he adopted the motto of “Never Give Up” he has lived his life in that manner each and everyday. And at the gym and wherever he goes, he inspires others to do the same.

Collin began working at a local gym where he was determined to become more physically fit. He met his former trainer in late 2014 and began to emulate poses that he saw him practicing for an upcoming competition. In May of 2015, Collin expressed interest about to participating in competitive bodybuilding. Collin's parents then hired a trainer and Collin committed his dedication to following the strict diet and training. 

His dream became a reality in November of 2015 on a stage in Louisville, KY thanks to a lot of hard work and support from his team. Collin had transformed his body from obese to competition ready with unwaivering dedication, a very strict diet, and intense training. Collin was awarded 5th Place and The Most Inspirational award. The encouragement and acceptance of the other competitors and attendees was a reward in itself. The crowd stood and cheered “Collination” at the end of his performance. As a result, Collin realized he wanted to continue bodybuilding and motivating others to follow their dreams.
