The recent passing of German fitness influencer Jo Lindner has left many grieving his departure. Bodybuilding icon Larry Wheels and influencer Lindner were often seen posing and training together.

However, Larry Wheels has found himself at the center of discussion and criticism. Wheels’ latest update has made Lindner’s and Wheels’ fans seemingly angry, and they have been giving Wheels a tough time.

Larry Wheels recently faced criticism for a seemingly ill-timed Instagram post. Just three days after the passing of his dear friend Jo Lindner, Wheels took to Instagram to share his latest collaboration with female bodybuilder, Fafa.

The bodybuilding and fitness communities bombarded Larry Wheels’ posts. They expressed their disappointment and concern over his apparent lack of respect and understanding of the gravity of the situation. Many fans felt that Wheels should have waited at least a few days before sharing such content, considering the moral obligation to mourn the loss of a friend. “You totally lost my respect. You could have at least wait for 2 days to jo some respect before you post this stupid shit.”, a fan wrote.
