Larry Wheels Shoulder Workout
| Exercise | Sets |
| Dumbbell shoulder press | 1 warm-up, 3 working sets |
| Barbell upright rows | 1 warm-up set, 3 working sets |
| Side lateral raises | 1 warm-up set, 3 working sets |
As you can see, the workout is short and sweet on the surface, but when broken down, it is much more intense than you may think. Wheels and Galagan use a good mind-muscle connection and get a good squeeze on each rep, and the sets are taken to almost muscular failure. Wheels also detailed how he had to adjust the sets on the shoulder press due to his mobility issues and inability to reach a true 90 degrees. He states that he cannot keep the movement straight and go all the way down, so he has to tilt it in order to get to just about 90 degrees. Wheels states that that angle is good for him, and anything less is going to be straining his rotator cuff. Despite the mobility issues, he still manages to get a good workout in.
On the other hand, Galagan said she usually includes triceps and chest in her shoulder workouts but excluded them as that is what Larry Wheels’ routine calls for. She also mentioned that she’s having issues with her left arm, these two just can’t stay out of injury’s way! She stated that her doctor informed her she has inflammation, and she waited for it to go away but it did not.
Larry Wheels explained why he favors a pre-fatigue strategy before starting his workouts. He states finding between three and four is enough, as long as you train to failure, or close to it, with intensity.
“That heavy movement I do with lots of volume and with many reps and by the time I get to my second exercise I’m already spent. Right? Then I still go two or three more movements after that to go. It’s been working for me. For bodybuilding, what I find gets the most results is heavy volume training. The more sets the better”.
Vladislava and Larry Wheels Discuss Steroids
Before the two move on, Galagan stated how her max shoulder press weight to be 70 pounds and discussed how long she’s been off cycle (has not been on steroids). Wheels also reflected on what life has been like when he’s off gear.
Galagan states that she has been off of steroids for about three months, and how she used to be much smaller. Vladislava says how Wheels told her he retains more size when he is off cycle, but for her she said she loses a lot of size, then when she is back on them, her body soaks them up like a sponge.
Vladislava also recounted her previous use of performance-enhancing drugs. According to the influencer herself, she had messed up and lost 50% of her hair early on due to a misguided steroid cycle, thinking that she could one day become an Olympia champion. Hair loss is a common side effect with certain anabolic compounds, and when guided wrong it can be something that you can experience.
Wrap Up
Overall, Larry Wheels and Vladislava Galagan are some pretty big names in the fitness industry, and growing by the day. In this video, they demonstrate that you do not need a massive amount of volume to get a good workout in, but it is rather the intensity of what you do in the gym that matters.
