Larry Wheels hit another huge personal record in a recent training session.
Larry Wheels is known for his incredible feats of strength. Recently, that has been being put to good use accomplishing different personal records. On Monday, Wheels loaded up 308 pounds on bench press and hit an amazing PR of 44 reps.
Wheels can add this to his recent list of PRs in training. This includes 17 shoulder press reps with a 140-pound dumbbell. In September, Wheels completed a massive 950-pound squat, which was also a personal best. Wheels shared the video on Instagram where he is seen moving 308 pounds with ease.
“308lbs/140kg x44 reps PR.
2 days ago had arm wrestling practice which lit up my bicep brachialis to 10/10

In his caption, Larry Wheels explains how he was dealing with pain in his bicep just days before. This came after arm-wrestling training that fired up his bicep brachialis. Wheels threw on some elbow wraps and this helps the pain enough for him to accomplish this incredible feat.
Wheels is still training for arm wrestling. This is an avenue he has been down recently and has competed in two matches to this point. The first came when Wheels was taken down by Aleksandr Toproll, better known as Schoolboy. In December, Wheels lost to Brandon Allen in a best-of-six match. It is unknown when Wheels will compete again but he is training to improve his game.
Larry Wheels has returned to powerlifting after some time off training as an arm wrestler. This was mainly to focus on improving grip strength, which is important when competing in the sport. Wheels has decided to continue training while returning to his roots as a powerlifter.
There was another minor setback when Wheels injured his quad during a heavy-squat session. This came at the end of 2020 but Wheels quickly returned to the gym and has been healthy since. It is clear that his strength is better than ever in all areas. While Wheels continues to train as an arm wrestler, it is clear that his best work is done moving heavy weights in the gym.
Larry Wheels will continue to impress with different PRs. If you want any motivation to be the best version of yourself, watch Wheels and how effortless he makes some lifts look. This is exactly what happened when he completed 44 reps on bench press recently.
