Larry Wheels Crush Bench Press - Image credit @Larrywheels Instagram
Larry Wheels recently revealed on Instagram that he is looking and feeling better than ever, and is now proving the statement to everyone. Although Larry is preparing for a bodybuilding competition where he plans to take part in the Classic division, he is still attracted to lifting heavy weights. However, in order to find the right balance, Larry recently loaded up 405 pounds (183.7 kilograms) on the barbell and performed a bench press for a mind blowing 22 repetitions.
Larry Wheels partnered up for a workout with one of the strongest bench pressers in the world currently, Josh Baker, who accumulated fame on TikTok due to his incredible feats. So, with some crowd cheering him on as well, Larry managed to push himself to the limits and squeeze out 22 repetitions on a 405-pound (183.7-pound) bench press with just some elbow straps to aid him in the lift.
Interestingly, Larry Wheels has performed a bench press AMRAP with 405 pounds (183.7 pounds) before, and his greatest result was 26 repetitions. However, as almost everyone knows by now, Larry has stopped using steroids and slimmed down significantly. So, his recent 22-rep set is arguably even more impressive.

Ever since he stopped using Steroids and PEDs, Larry Wheels has been attempting to reach the peak of his natural strength, performance, and physique. However, he is forced to take TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) since his body does not produce testosterone on its own anymore.
Larry Wheels has already achieved an extremely shredded physique, with his most recent update displaying an impressive vacuum pose.
Before setting his sights on the bodybuilding venture, Larry Wheels tested to see how strong he could get with just TRT. So, after a few months of training, Larry organized a mock powerlifting meet in his gym and put up impressive numbers. This included a 330-kilogram (727.5-pound) squat, 230-kilogram (507.1-pound) bench, and a 350-kilogram (771.6-pound) deadlift.
So, with experience in powerlifting and bodybuilding, Larry Wheels has also decided to venture into coaching. Most notably, he took IFBB Pro Joe Mackey under his wing to help him accomplish a 1,000-pound (453.6-kilogram) goal.
