It comes as a bolt out of the blue when a 28-year-old young powerlifter fell ill and was diagnosed with Rhabdo disease, which can lead to kidney damage. There are numerous odds stacked against Larry. However, despite the boatload of atrocities on his back, Wheels decided to fulfill his dream of opening a gym. In his recent video, Wheels and Andrei Dieu are seen working out. 

Larry Wheels’ recovery and return to training

Larry Wheels and Andrei Dieu, a champion of the 2017 Amateur Olympia. In 2020, under the tutelage of Hany Rambod, he secured the fifth position in the Mr. Olympia. Moreover, in the YouTube shorts, both were performing 150 lb dumbbell shoulder presses in a gym, helping each other out. The post was captioned, “Monster shoulders with Andrei Deiu and Larry Wheels. Larry’s getting stronger.” As Andrei said, “Rear Delts Looking Crazy.” Professedly, it seems Larry Wheels slowly is going back to his everyday life. The athlete’s hospitalization due to excessive dosage of Performance-Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) to increase muscle strength led to a life-threatening disease Rhabdomyolysis. 

In one of his Instagram stories, Larry talked about his struggle after getting discharged from the hospital. Though the young powerlifter is back in the gym, he is undergoing an immense effort, as he quotes, “Not being able to bring arms in makes it hard to get a good contraction.” He was trying to pull a 10-rep set on a heavy shoulder press machine. Although Wheels was able to complete the workout, the struggle was evident on his face.
