Larry Wheels is an absolute powerhouse!
Larry Wheels isn’t you average powerlifter. In fact, it’s hard to simple package him as a powerlifter at all. Larry Wheels is what you’d call a powerbuilder, a powerlifter-bodybuilder combination who is looking to make solid gains in both strength and aesthetics. The training for either endeavor is extremely specific, requiring programs that are somewhat opposed to each other.
After competing in his first bodybuilding competition two months ago, Larry Wheels has since returned to his original focus of powerlifting. Now he hopes to once again assert his dominance and is making considerable gains along the way.
Recently the powerbuilder set a new personal record in the deadlift, pulling 870 Lbs at a body weight of 270 Lbs. It’s a truly impressive feat, but what’s even more impressive is his reaction after performing the lift. Suffice it to say, it was pretty intense.
