“Affected My Mental Health the Worst”: Bodybuilder-Powerlifter Larry Wheels Details His Harrowing Experience After Using This Steroid

Powerlifting world record holder, Larry Wheels has been open about his usage of Performance-Enhancing Drugs for a while now. With an experience in strength-related sports of over a decade now, Wheels admitted that he has used almost every compound out there in order to achieve his desired ‘superhero’ physique. Although Wheels revealed back in August 2022 that he is getting off steroids indefinitely, he will be living with Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for the rest of his life.

Given the recent deaths that the sport of bodybuilding has witnessed, Wheels has realized the dangers these drugs can pose to an individual. He recently discussed the side effects and drawbacks of one of these compounds, with Bradley Martyn, a fitness influencer and entrepreneur.

Larry Wheels reveals his experience with drugs

In a recent podcast hosted by Bradley Martyn, Larry Wheels admitted that he has been taking recreational drugs since the age of 16. He has experienced a lot of recreational drugs, as well as PEDs. But the most dangerous and harmful of them all was ‘Tren’. Wheels revealed that the drug messed with his mental health and led to unimaginable mood swings. 

“Tren affected my mental health the worst.” Wheels continued, “Irritable, angry, anxious night sweats, horrible acne, you know… I have got the most side effects from tren than all of these drugs that I have mentioned.” Since deciding to quit the PEDs, he has also been getting regular blood tests and heart health checkups to ensure longevity.

In regards to the recent death of bodybuilders like Shawn Rhoden, Rich Piana, and many others, Wheels has started questioning the long-term effect of using these compounds. The bodybuilder has been consistently giving updates about his journey quitting PEDs, and has been trying to educate his audience to stay away from steroids too.

Wheels wants to test his potential

Wheels has previously discussed in a video on his YouTube channel, that he is going off steroids completely. He continued by explaining the reason behind this by saying that he wants to test his potential without the usage of these compounds. 

“I’ve been on PEDs and hitting PRs the last decade, if I go to the extremes enough, I can get [to a 1,000-pound deadlift]. But what I don’t know is how will I perform without all of that assistance,” said Wheels.
