While Wheels has only dabbled in the new sport, it’s refreshing to see a powerlifter attempting to compete outside of their comfort zone.
Just around a month ago, Larry Wheels was tasked with taking on Brendon Allen in an arm-wrestling match. In the end, Larry Wheels lost. As a result, Wheels endured his second defeat in the sport of arm-wrestling. Despite taking the loss, with time and experience, the powerlifter can still make waves in the rising sport.

Wheels is a fierce competitor and showed as much throughout his powerlifting career.
