Larry Wheels has finally become a pro bodybuilder in the IFBB Pro league at the 2025 Musclecontest Bullman Pro
Powerlifting phenom turned all-around strength athlete Larry Wheels officially claimed his IFBB Pro Card on Saturday, winning the Classic Physique division at the 2025 Musclecontest Bullman Pro Qualifier. The event, held in Dublin, Ireland, drew significant attention thanks to Wheels’ late entry and rapid transformation—prepping for the contest in just six weeks.
Though the main pro event featured 12 competitors battling for a coveted Olympia qualification, all eyes temporarily shifted to Wheels as he stepped on stage as an amateur and walked off a new Classic Physique Pro.

In a move that stunned even longtime fans, Wheels didn’t stop at earning his pro status. Mere hours after the qualifier wrapped, he jumped straight into the pro show lineup. Facing off against seasoned veterans in his first outing, Wheels held his own and ultimately placed 10th.
Wheels later took to Instagram to reflect on the experience and fired off a public call-out to none other than Sam Sulek, another social media sensation and rising Classic Physique pro. “Let’s get on stage together,” Wheels wrote. “Make it happen.”
This potential matchup would be massive—both in terms of muscle and media buzz. With both athletes boasting millions of followers and unique fanbases, it’s the kind of showdown that could headline any Classic Physique lineup.
German Pastor Claims Bullman Pro Title and Punches Ticket to 2025 Olympia
While Wheels made headlines, the pro division stayed locked in. Spain’s German Pastor dominated the stage with a flawless physique and earned a perfect score from the judges. The win secured his qualification for the 2025 Classic Physique Olympia, set to take place October 9–12 in Las Vegas.
Pastor is now a two-time Olympian, having competed previously in 2023, where he placed outside the top 15. This time, he’s aiming higher.
