“Need to Put On an Unrealistic Amount of Muscle”: Powerlifting Sensation Larry Wheels Sets Eyes to Be a Bodybuilding Champ

Larry Williams is the jack of all trades when it comes to strength sports. After dabbling with powerlifting, arm-wrestling, and strongman, he is now eyeing other bodybuilding events. Having won umpteen events in the past, Larry ‘Wheels’ Williams is now looking at the Classic Physique contest. Wheels’ participation could give Bumstead a run for his money.

Recently, the American fitness pro appeared on a YouTube show where he talked about his next activities. The previous year pushed Wheels to have a tough time health-wise. But this year, he seemed pretty confident in taking a “healthier approach” to his career. For Wheels, it is no secret that he considers Classic Physique to provide a better scope for longevity.

Larry Wheels is making a stark difference

Recently, Wheels gave an interview to the YouTube channel, RxMuscle — The Truth in Bodybuilding, where he opened up about what lies ahead of him. When the interviewer asked him about his next pursuits, the fitness junkie candidly shared his desire to compete in a different stage.

Wheels said that he is now in L.A. and getting ready to participate in the next classic physique competition. “I’m actually putting my eyes on Classic Physique. So, open bodybuilding I didn’t see, I can be very competitive because of my height. I need to put on an unrealistic amount of muscle”, said Wheels.

He also thinks that the classic physique will help him maintain his longevity. As he shared, “Doing classic, I’m already as big as I need to be. If not, I have to gain a few more pounds and then cut down to the cut-off at 220 or 230.” Wheels also capped off the fact that he is training with Charles Glass, who is famously known as “The Godfather of Bodybuilding.”
