Being a public figure brings a lot of controversies. On one hand, where you tend to grab a lot of admiration and appreciation from a particular segment of people, on the other, even the tiniest of unconventional methods can subject you to trolls. The renowned bodybuilding icon recently fell prey to a similar incident.

Larry Wheels, the record-setting powerlifter is often bashed for his unique rep technique, that is the half rep because of its non-significant presence in the conventional bodybuilding world. In a recent course of events, however, the fitness icon managed to turn all the heads toward him with his new personal record.

Larry Wheels’ jaw-dropping PR

Taking to his Instagram Larry Wheels recently posted a video of himself pulling out 5 reps of 500 lbs benchpress. He managed to bring about 4 reps without the support and needed support only to lift the last rep and re-rack it. He captioned the picture as, “500lbs for an eternity of a pause by @c.t.ali.fletcher”. What took followers by surprise was his pause timing between each rep.
