When it comes to powerlifting, there are a set of rules and regulations that must be followed in order to have an estimation of your PR. At times, when they are not followed, the PR goes in vain. One such example was the recently posted video of the bodybuilding beast pulling off his bench press PR.

The strongest powerlifter in the world was recently seen taking to Instagram and sharing a bench press record doing one of the ‘craziest lifts’. Although most of his fans appreciated and praised his newly made personal record, there was a bit of a bashing too. A lot of his followers refuse to accept his PR because of a primary fault in his reps.

Larry Wheels pulling off the craziest lifts!

The strongest powerlifter in the world, Larry Wheels took his Instagram a few hours ago and shared a video of himself pulling out 22 reps of a 405 lbs bench press. There were a number of things that went wrong in the video. Being a fitness influencer has a lot of pressure as people follow what you do and it is important that when you post something, you make sure that there are no possibilities of any casualties occurring. However, Wheels’ video reeks of a lot of things done wrong.

To begin with, the powerlifter is seen pulling off the reps as if he has somewhere to run to. It is important that with a good muscle-mind connection, the exercises are implemented to have good conditioning of the preferred body part. However, Larry Wheels was seen pulling off the reps at a very high pace, which is the wrong way of doing the exercise. Furthermore, there was another error in his workout which deems his effort completely null and void.

Out of the 22 reps pulled out by Wheels, only 3 were full reps. He pushed the rod only halfway in the air, which is considered to be a half rep. Although his effort was at the max level, the people in the fitness world frowned upon it. A lot of them called it ego-lifting too. His fans had a lot to say about his PR after this video was posted.

Fans get furious at the half-reps!

Despite receiving a lot of appreciation, some of his fans deemed his PR effort as null because of the half-reps. One of them, comparing his own PR said, “0 reps were done (my max is 225lb)”. While another one pointed out to his half reps and said, “Half reps dnt count”. Another one expressing the same emotion said, “Zero…zero…zero…zero…stop teaching your inexperienced fans improper technique. ONLY full reps count. 💯” Taking to his reputation of being a fitness influencer and influencing people on the right way, one of them says, “Yeah but I not all full reps come on now Dude your not setting a good example😂”.

Wheels’ efforts were frowned upon and one of them even called it ‘baby reps’. What do you think about the recent PR of the wolrd’s strongest powerlifter? Let us know in the comment section below!
