Larry Wheels is regarded as one of the most significant powerlifters in the world of bodybuilding. Having acquired the all-time Powerlifting world record at the 2020 Arnold Sports festival with a massive 2370lbs total raw without wraps at 308lbs, he became an even bigger star among all fitness enthusiasts. The only thing that remained unaccomplished was his dream to open a gym.

Due to excessive consumption of steroids, Wheels was hospitalized as he suffered from Rhabdomyolysis. Fortunately, he is doing all the better now. After combatting the life-threatening disease, he is all set to obtain his only remaining goal in his career.
