Larry Wheels is always a big attraction at any strength event. Well, he surely didn’t disappoint at the 2020 Arnold Sports Festival where he achieved a new all-time world record performance by apparently only 0.1lbs.
Wheels hit some huge numbers in Columbus which gave him a 1075kg/2370lb total raw w/o wraps at 308lbs; which was apparently 0.1lbs more than the previous world record (2369.9lbs) held by Eric Lilliebridge from 2016.
His big three lifts were as follows…
- 870lb squat
- 645lb bench press
- 855lb deadlift
Watch his performances below…
It’s not a PR, it’s a WR
870,645,855
ATWR 308lbs/140kg
This is very impressive from Larry Wheels and he definitely had a little more in the tank from what it appeared. He also looked pretty strong in training leading up to the XPC event, hitting a 650lb bench press and even detailed his cycle.
I understand the talent and difficulty level of all that he has accomplished but I continue to say ” I wish he would have done it without using enhancement drugs “.
Well, Eric Lilliebridge DEFINITELY did not achieve that total without drugs. So, no way to lift this amount without them.
