Kiera Jaston Squats 500 Pounds During Recent Training Session With Larry Wheels

Kiera Jaston recently joined Larry Wheels for a training session.

Larry Wheels is known for massive lifts in the gym and has been on a tear recently. Wheels has been putting up many PR’s, including a 950-pound squat. In a recent gym session, Wheels was not the one putting up impressive numbers on the squat rack. Kiera Jaston joined Wheels to lift recently and completed a huge 500-pound squat. 

Jaston burst onto the scene as the youngest IFBB pro in Europe. She is known for massive deadlifts but is continuing to put up big numbers in other areas as well. Jaston entered the session looking to complete this 500-pound squat and was able to get it done. This is 20% heavier than her previous best on the squat rack.

Larry Wheels uploaded a video to his YouTube page detailing the training session for each athlete. Wheels was focused on completing 10-15 reps with 310kg on his back.

After a quick warmup, the duo began putting some serious weight on the bar. Kiera Jaston implements an interesting tactic when squatting. She holds the squatting position before rising back up. She does this up until 190kg.

“I spend more time in the hold, make sure I’m down there, pause squats, and sometimes you like the tempo and sometimes one and a half squats just really spending time down in the hold as much as possible. So hopefully on the day, it’s actually engrained in my brain to actually stay down long enough. It’s definitely working. My squat depth has got a lot better so far,” Kiera Jaston said.

Wheels was quick to backup Jaston’s notion. It was also interesting to see that Jaston does not use knee wraps. This comes after both lifters were able to reach their goals for the session.

Jaston completed one rep of 500 pounds while Wheels completed a rep of 585 pounds. Wheels does use knee wraps. Jaston initiated the conversation about knee wraps during squatting and believes it helps her hold the squatting position and does not hinder progress.

“I tend to stop at the bottom and even when I get to my heavier squats, I tend to stop at the bottom. This is one of the reasons why I don’t use the wraps because I don’t feel like I get as much out of them as like you would.”

Kiera Jaston has burst onto the scene as a powerlifter while Larry Wheels has been testing the waters of other sports, including arm wrestling. There are different training methods and tendencies related to each and Wheels explained how he keeps them separate.

This was an entertaining training session with two elite powerlifters. Both Larry Wheels and Kiera Jaston will continue to put up big numbers and this means special things could be coming in 2022.
