Bodybuilding influencer Bradly Castleberry found fame through controversy. Initially grabbing attention through his powerlifting feats, Castleberry got intertwined in a fake weights controversy. Despite his best efforts, his reputation took a hit. His plans to manifest a bigger presence as a fitness influencer also fell through. However, after years in the making, a collaboration with Larry Wheels finally happened.

Earlier, the man who claimed to have participated in two NFL combines posted a picture with Larry Wheels. The powerlifter is a veteran of the social media fitness space and a beloved influencer. Through the years, Larry Wheels has remained relevant by adapting his content. Castleberry explained that he had a “bad***” workout session with the 29-year-old.

Like the Castleberry, Larry Wheels is also a fan of all-strength sports. Although Wheels rose to fame through powerlifting, the fans never question the legitimacy of his lifts. Since then, Larry Wheels has delved into arm wrestling and competitive bodybuilding. However, one of his staples has been collaborating with other content creators like Castleberry.

“Finally after years of talking about it, I had a bad*** arm workout with the legend @larrywheels,” Brad Castleberry announced on Instagram. The bodybuilder posted an image with Wheels and had nothing but praise for the 29-year-old. “Iron sharpens iron. Real men bring others up,” wrote Castleberry. 

“Always treat others how you want to be treated,” added the bodybuilder. While the bodybuilder’s fans showed their excitement to see the collaboration, they had one question for the former footballer. Everyone wanted to know if the two strength athletes filmed their “bad***” workout. Castleberry’s brand page, Castleberry Nutrition, confirmed that Larry Wheels would post the video. Since the fitness community is still in doubt about Castleberry’s feats of strength, a video with Larry Wheels will be interesting.

While Castleberry did prove his strength to an extent, he did it in a manner that didn’t convince fitness fans at large. So it’ll be interesting to see how the bodybuilder has progressed since the controversy propelled him to the center of the fitness world. It might not be easy to impress Wheels’ audience, who have become accustomed to watching insane feats of strength. However, only time will tell if Castleberry can capture the bodybuilding and fitness community’s attention again.
