Larry Wheels embarked on a new journey to dedicate himself entirely to the Strongman championship in 2022. With Bjornsson Hafthor and Eddie Hall no longer competing, he felt he had a chance of winning the title. The bodybuilder turned powerlifter wanted to conquer the world of Strongman too. However, he had to drop out of the competition because of a back injury.

After attaining the title of one of the best powerlifters in the realm of bodybuilding, Larry wanted to push his limits in order to win the show. It was then that he took help from the Strongman beast Hafthor Bjornsson, who is 6″9′ tall, in order to be guided by a professional. However, the training sessions were extremely brutal for the Powerlifter.

Larry Wheels appeared in one of the recent podcasts of ‘Straight Outta Lair’ by Flex Lewis. While being asked several questions about his journey, he shared an experience that he had while he was preparing with Hafthor Bjornsson for the Middle East’s Strongest Man in 2022. He explained how Bjornsson would have gallons of food that seemed rather weird for Larry Wheels to consume.

However, training together meant trying out the diets, too. Larry said, “He tried to have me eat what he was eating and I was just bursting at the seams. It was miserable. And he got a kick out of watching me suffer to try and eat what he was eating.” The Strongman beast, also known as Thor of bodybuilding, ground up rib eye with rice around four to six times a day along with several shakes, which was too much for Wheels.

Wheels goes on to explain the perfection in the Strongman’s workout.
