+ 3 Larry Wheels__The 29 year old sob story
Larry is on his nut tip again.. Recently this man has posted(as of two months ago) a depressing sob story.. He basically tells the viewer , “I relapsed” “I got into bodybuilding for all the wrong reasons” “it was the cowards way” “I want to be able to have a successful relationship with my wife”..
Larry I agree with you,, but what’s the point of sobbing on camera? It’s like he’s seeking the validation and push with minimal desire to change, you want to have a successful relationship? Then change..
Larry knows he belongs in the gym, hitting PRs running kitchen sink cycles, the man is obviously confused .. Social media has brought him up and burned him down. He states he’s envious of those who became IFBB pros and could have a successful relationship.. I can think of plenty, even including Rich Piana..
When you’re down to 1k kal a day shooting grams of Tren, clen t3 of course your partner is going to suffer; I’m all for Larry’s change however dumping a video on YouTube cmon, when a man changes he doesn’t need outside validation he does it..
Larry’s a perfect example to any newcomer not to base your life around anabolics at the ripe young age of 18. I don’t see him living into his 40’s..
Call this drama I call this a wake up call and a cry for help, trying to persuade the viewer you can change has actual little room for change, drop social media. Surround yourself with the loved ones and change comes natural.
I speak with three years sober off any illicit drug/alcohol and it’s important we surround ourselves with other men in our life that will bring us up.

He's going to end up like Kali Muscle
Kali muscle is such a duck.
LOL
I haven't seen the video, although I've spent hundreds of hours over the years watching his others including his admission to being addicted to Webcam girls lol The thing you have to appreciate is his world nowadays, and what has been for years is online videos and social media - its who he has become via his powerlifting journey. Because of it he has been a bit of a people pleaser, trying to adapt and fit to what everyone likes so he remains relevant.
However the one thing you cannot do is knock this guy for any of what he has achieved in his life, yes he is a genetic freak in terms of his power and strength and a lot of it is natural talent he was given - but so much of it is his dedication to his sport. Tell me who else smashes out reps and reps with 8 plates per sides on Deads and despite his nose exploding and being close to passing out carries on like its a day in the office. He almost benched 700 RAW too. Yeah he got into gear at a young age but so do many, he made the best years of his life count when it came to powerlifting as once you hit 30 which he soon will he will be classed as a dinosaur. He used to be monitored full time by a private doctor too when he was living over in Dubai, then he came off to TRT for quite some time too to reset everything despite the pressures he is under online to stay huge and strong. The last I looked he was worth something like £5 million, he has his PR lifting line, He's just opened his own Powerlifting/Bodybuilding gym with his business partner which I assume will turn into a chain, he generates millions from his Youtube channel etc. A few years back he owned a McLaren, not sure what he has now. I for one would be pretty happy to trade lives with him
Took the time , and a decent reflection on what you said. Great ability to look at this bigger picture and what he’s done as a whole, the man has more than I can hope for , pulls more weight than I can dream of.
I started looking up to him about 8 years ago, when he started pressing the 225lbs on incline I shat
My pants, I can remember Ronnie pushing the 200s on flat and thought that was amazing.
I honed in and focused on one aspect of one Larry wheels video out of many, I just remember the dude being an all around beast,, I didn’t think he had “problems” that’s what appealed to me.. He was my dream (no homo) this am caught me off guard as I’m pulling back my Tren vial kind of disgusted hearing Larry talk about change..
Subliminally I know what’s up, we all know what’s up, it’s easier to focus on Wheels because he’s in the spot light on social media exposing himself in order to make the change, my post probably ruffled some feathers and looking back on it ; not the best idea for a post..
I want to translate this post into something along the lines of — “Social medias negative impact on top level bodybuilders & powerlifters
On another note Brian Shaw is someone I def admire and respect with all my being, the humility and happiness leading up to his lifts , the massive amounts of gear pre strongman and he’s able to have a positive outlook on life.. amazing
Ronnie is on record saying that he couldn't do as much as Larry on most lifts.... probably all
Ronnie would've been know as the strongest ever, even stronger than Larry Wheels but he spent most of his time cutting for bodybuilding. If he ate whatever and let himself get fat he would've been 400lbs and lifting a lot more than he did. He was genetically superior to everyone.
It’s crazy to hear these guys on interviews now, Ronnie is awesome to hear! The dude was on a stationary bike EATING!!! I never thought about what they could / would have been without the constant cutting.
I saw that. Lol Ronnie is just stubborn and he even said he'd do it all over again. I'm sure Ronnie would of been a top dawg
Also folks tend to forget Ronnie started off as a powerlifter. Ronnie highest bench as a bodybuilder was around 580, Larry benched over 660. Attempted 700 but tore pec. Both guys strong. Would have liked to see what Ronnie could of done as a pure powerlifter but that wasn't his path.
I agree Ronnie was definitely superior to everyone if we're talking strength not even mentioning his physique. I remember there was this famous strongman/ powerbodybuilder who challenged anyone in the audience to a rep out of 225 pounds, well Ronnie raised his hand and came on stage. Long story short that Strongman repped 225 57 times and Ronnie repped it like over 70 times. That can be verified. Now you mentioned his weight. That may be true but Larry pound for pound I think still would be stronger or it may be close. That's a toss up in my opinion. Both guys were blessed with strength
AK80I believe it. I've done 35.
O yeah? Last time I tried it I was 19 or 20 yrs old and repped 225 north of 30 reps. Lol I was proud during that time because most of the guys in the NFL couldn't do that accept probably the big linemen. I watched a few of their NFL combines.

Absolutely fucking nuts!
For whatever reason not letting me open. But I'm sure it's about Larry.
Yes it's him doing 225lbs 70 times
Damn Ronnie did 72. Larry is definitely special no doubt about it. If you're familiar with powerlifters of now and the past , he's gotta be at the top and that shouldn't even be debated. Like I said I've never followed him but I know he's special
Yup, I’ve seen it . I remember the video… Ronnie was out of his surgery looking good though, wearing some sort of blue or purple shirt in that video . Can remember fully but he was shown the clip of his lifts and asked to react
Yep I don't remember what he was wearing but that's probably it
You know what also is probably really effecting him? Social media. He THINKs all these guys are living beautiful lives running tons of gear side effect free and making tons of money. The reality is they’re just regular guys dealing with the same ahit all of us are, then get in the gym and smash some iron and get it out. He’s fallen victim to fake fantasy world of fitness influencers. Just proof that we’re all messed up and even being the strongest man in the world wouldn’t satisfy our hunger.
You'd think someone on the other side of the camera would know better. I've never stepped in front of a camera to try and make my life look all glamorous for clout and even i know everything that these online influencers show are carefully cultivated to make their lives look like they are nothing but wonders.
Even when you realize that deep down you, or at least I, still can't help but feel like your life is shit compared to these people. The truth is their lives have just as many downs as yours and maybe even more. I find i'm so much happier with my life when i cut out social media. I only use FB if i have something to sell/buy, IG is basically just people i know in real life or car pages and youtube/rumble are different journalists, musicians/recording companies and fitness personalities that specialize in either showing how to properly do exercises/design your own routine/diet/recipes/how to use the drugs as safely as possible. I feel so much better about my basically average American life when i don't have all these fake, over the top lifestyles in my face for comparison. Social media has destroyed the self confidence of so many people and it sure as hell has ruined the dating market.
This is the plague of Generation Z,, they can be cold and callous individuals . When you grow up with artificial social construct vs human interaction, you start to become less human
0.o
Exactly like damn robots...not an ounce of social skills. Yeah good point about FB, I do see it being a who is doing better in life type of thing in many cases which I've noticed long ago. It's all mental
I thought there were some cocky little shits when i was in high school/college. That was before myspace was a thing. You cocked off to the wrong person and you got punched in the face for it. It only took that happening 1 time generally for kids to start to temper the things they'd say. I can't even count the number of 20 somethings that clearly never had that happen growing up.
Hiding behind a keyboard has made for some real shitty, arrogant people in this modern world.
It’s sad that the 30 year old me is starting to learn the younger generation, thank god for prison, it’s not even about being locked up for a crime, it’s about entering a completely different world and HAVING to adhere to the rules
It’s gonna change even the hardest criminal, eventually they get tired of trips too the hole, former felons are solid advocates when they turn their life around, I want to be surrounded by those types of people,
Not a generation of testosterone deficient cuckolds
I would recommend the military over prison. So, all you future felons out there... enlist!
Actually, because colleges have become such indoctrinating, coddling cesspools. They no longer offer the safety net like they once did for kids to learn to become adults. I wouldn't mind seeing a compulsory 2-year military service. (says the 65 year old)
Better yet, if they want to hand out higher education for free. Government backed universities and colleges should be run like military tech schools (training after boot camp) with a rigid code of conduct and discipline. Mom and dad can pay for the party schools.
I can see this at 18 I would’ve been more apt to take direction if it was forced down my throat, my senior yearbook has me stating “Coast Guard” , I’ve always been an exceptional swimmer growing up @ the beach..
I have a buddy whom the marines turned into a trained killer, a trained killer who’s still a meth addict at his core, he’s one of those types of guys.
“All those hippies back in the 70’s long hair, squatting communes, they’re still here expect now they wear suits and ties and have haircuts”
Obama ring a bell?
Trade School over Military or College.
Anabolic Steroid School?
Its funny because as much as we all (mostly) hate Social Media on here, this is very similar to social media in a way. The reason this form works well though is because we are all effectively hidden behind screen names and are all on an even keel to each other. We are all basically strangers to each other but all come on here to talk about the same things: Weights, training, Steroids, Food, Women & Sex LMAO There is nothing to get wound up or envious over such as pictures of material possession's or houses, partners etc. I remember when Facebook and all that other stuff became so popular and people who I knew were permanently going on about it, from everything I heard you could do and see on it - plus effectively contact anyone you like at any time of day I instantly thought 'Well isn't that going to cause nothing but problems?? Hello the Whole World, My front door is wide open - please come in and tell me anything you want to!!! Yeah, sounds like a really great idea. NOT.
FB, IG and the other similar ones are like what the forums of the 2010's were on steroids. I suppose there were probably lifestyle forums where people would post up their idealized life for others to drool over though. I spent a bunch of time on model specific car forums during that time. Sure there were always people with the nicest builds others were jealous over. But it was typically only a very small range of what was focused on. Even then most of the discussions was technically based. How do i diagnose this issue, Do you think this sort of fabrication method would produce a better result, what kind of settings in the ecu do i need to alter to compensate for this new part, what's the best way to launch my car at the drag strip so i don't leave my trans at the starting line, etc. I feel that's how things are around here more than just showing off what you think will impress others.
I very much enjoy these sorts of specific forums compared to the general lifestyle stuff you get on social media these days.
Well hot fucking damn…
I come here to soften the blow, at least it’s a form of community, but even how many of us come and go without warning.. Gone,,
I used to be glued to bodybuilding YouTubers until I realized they were doing nothing for me but pushing a pre workout supplement .. the culture of working out when I was in high school although not long ago was before smartphones, it was a place for us to set aside differences and dousche it up, no flexing pics, shadow boxing in the mirror.. Snapchat filters
I exist the same as I did as a 16 year old me with higher testosterone than the 16 year old former
Me.
Ya I think there’s definitely something good that can be taken from the online bodybuilding and fitness community but you gotta learn to sift through the bullshit. I think Larry may seem super hardcore on the outside but is probably too sensitive on the inside, and just too nice for the LA/fitness world.
He didn’t have it easy growing up , his mother in and out of his life bringing around strange abusive men. Whether he feels it but probably not ; he’s accomplished so much just on lifts alone. He’s now realizing at the expense of everything else near and dear to
Himself.
He came of trt completely ? Talk about two extremes even with PCT I’d imagine he’d just go back to feeling like the child inside that had been damaged . If I could take back this thread I would.
He's definitely been through some things like a lot of folks. I've never followed Larry but you can tell he's a good dude and very humble. And talks well. I wish the guy the best.
Larry should forget about BB, he doesn't have the genetics but as far as power lifting, he's the dogs bollocks and clearly has a future with power for the next decade or so, even with the odd injury.
I like him, his videos go on way to long though.
I saw that video and it might seem like he needs validation but I appreciate the guy being honest and looking himself in the mirror. I was just telling @23Sparta that this gear game isn't bigger than life, meaning life shouldn't revolve around it. As far as Larry I'll say this, his route using gear isn't for me or a lot of folks but he is talented and wishing him well. As far as competing as a top pro bodybuilder he's just not genetically up there but he's stronger than every one of those guys I can guarantee that.
Was he addicted to the heavy lifts first or addicted to the gear first that got him to lift heavy?
Is he the example of a “powerbuilder”
I'm thinking both. So he was always fascinated with strength and I don't think so much bodybuilding. Yeah he did combined powerlifting and bodybuilder movements so in a sense yeah a powerbodybuilder. His love is/ was powerlifting. But the guy branched off into arm wrestling, strongman contest. That's Larry for ya
It’s a means to an end not the end itself
You're being a bit too harsh and judgmental. Sounds like a solid first step and step 5.
You had your path and be grateful for the gift you've been given. Larry is being guided on his path.
I’m definitely being judgmental you are correct, I have a tendency just to say what comes to mind, I’d tell Larry this to his face, I’d still rather step on his toes instead of stepping on the grave..
I’m a lot like Larry, we are just about the same age, I don’t work steps.
Sure you do. It's instinctive like the stages of grief. Perhaps not in order, often meshed together, but still a process of identifiable steps or stages.
That's respectable. Couldn't tell that to everyone's face but I think Larry would listen to what you had to say instead of knocking your ass out lol.
Now you know I had to throw that in there @ChuckThaDuck22
lol if he connects he’s doing some damage, that mofo is way to bulky to be throwing anything but 10 seconds worth before he’s gased out.
People didn’t realize Rich Piana was actually someone who prided himself on flexibility, mobility, and moving his weight properly, I miss that man and him yelling at my computer screen @ 445 in the am
GOOD MORNING MOTHERFUCKERSSS
Yes Rich was very flexible to be so big.
oh shit I am bannedDid u really watch rich piana though? It was always good fucking morning god damnit. Never once good morning motherfuckers
You must not know the actor Samuel L. Jackson
oh shit I am bannedCorrect. I do not know who that is. Even if I did - what does that have to do with rich pianas saying?
