crazy strong
makes johnnie Jackson look like a total joke
-
This guy is crazy strong.Unreal.
-
Dude is only 23. He's going to end up being lb. for lb. one of the strongest people that ever lived barring injury.
-
Guy's drug stack is huge.
He won't live to be 30.
-
he needs to be humbled

Elaborate.
-
Any steroid lift is phony.....What can he do drug free?
Lifting has evolved into who has the best/most drugs and who responds best to their drugs...Total bullshit...
-
Not a "military press".::) But, yes, immensely strong.

What seem to be unreal, usually is unreal, like all lifts with fake weights. He has enough weight to bend the barbell a little bit, but is it enough to look real?
-
That video of him benching the 225 lb. dumbbells made me cringe. I was just waiting for his pectoral tendon to snap. I hope he doesn't hurt himself doing all these crazy lifts just because he can.

I can't believe some of the posters on GetBig, lol. Brad Castleberry does this stuff and he gets called on fake weights. Larry Wheels does the same thing and he's awesomely strong, haha.
The only real lifts that count are in competition. I thought everyone knew this.

Well, the difference between the two might be that Larry Wheels has proven in actual powerlifting competition that he is capable of putting up a world class total.

I am sure he is very strong but gym lifts are meaningless. The powerlifting competition ones are the only ones I'd believe. I remember all the feats of strength written about the legendary Paul Anderson, out of competition. Most were shown later to be wildly inflated or outright fabrications.

Getbig loves whites and disapproves of blacks.
Unless they're oiled muscled man lifting heavy weights, then we cheer.

Is there a shoulder press specific meet?
-
Guy put up a real raw total of #2,275 total of a 810 lb squat, 610 lb bench press, and a 855 lb deadlift. He's heavier now, and had another year of training, and drugging, so I'm not going to doubt. The only argument might be the blurred line between a really high incline and a shoulder press.
-

Funny you mention that. There used to be three Olympic lifts- the Press, Snatch and Clean and Jerk. They dumped the Press after the 1972 Olympics after finding it pretty much impossible to judge strictly. The argument was that lifters were 1) arching back too far and 2) using their legs .

I get your point but as BB said above dude is strong even if the lift is more of hybrid between incline and shoulder press.
He's done contests. His workout videos are impressive displays of strength.

who's this other clown ass neggul that keep running his mouth?....he ruins the fucking video

He's worse than Ed Powers.
-
He's not as strong as Sam Parker
-
He’s a gifted strength athlete responding incredibly well to mountains of extremely powerful drugs/hormones. Wheels is riding a wave of superhuman physiology. Young and bulletproof.
My feeling, though: He is pushing it all way too hard. Something’s got to give.
And the probability is high that it will.
Now, about the savage ape with the jungle-plant scalp growth ... THAT guy is annoying to an epic degree. Wow.

Bouncing 515 off his chest for an incline press probably isn't going to keep him injury free.

those plates don't look fake like DIngleberry's fake lifts

Not natural? Don't care. I'm sure Ronnie in his prime could've done it, too. Now he's a cripple.
I'll take a 350lb fat man with raw power over a 275lb juicer who's dead in 5 years.

2/10 trolly

actually that nappy hair dude is halarius lots of getbiggers could learn a few things
-
Larry wheels is just about the last person who would ever need to use fake weights, especially on any sort of pressing movement. The guys has benched 600+ in legit power lifting meets.
-
He is insanely strong for his size just watched a few of his vids,ridiculous.seems like a nice guy as well.
-
fake-ass weights as well
Agreed. They don't move and the bar doesn't respond like one would expect. I lost faith when Kaz told us he believes the plates Platz used in the high rep squat demo he is famous for were fake. and Kaz was spotting him.

Strange Kaz would say this about that event
Wasn’t it a lift off between Tom & Fred Hatfield
Poundage for reps - Platz Won
Max poundage 1 rep - Fred Won
Were all the lifts that day fake weights then.

Yep. You got it correct. It was a promo bit for the new WBF. I know Tom. I think it’s 50/50 if it was real or not. Certainly in his prime (biggest/most gassed) I believe he was capable of such reps with such a poundage. But ... SO much smaller and less “fueled”? As said, he did have a squat suit on, but ... I don’t know.
But I gotta call bullshit on Kaz, too. In that seminar he claims he’d do three sets of 15 high-bar/ narrow stance squats with 300 kilograms before deadlifting to “flush” his quads. That’s 660 pounds.
No. Fucking. Way.
And keep in mind Kaz is my all-time favourite strength athlete and I’ve hung with him.
But 660x15x3? Olympic style?
Bullshit.

Bullshit.
I’m impressed that you can count both Tom & Kaz as friends / acquaintances
Both are Greats & legends of the lifting world.
If Tom's squat reps were dubious then so must be Fred’s
Likewise the max poundages.
Neither Tom or Fred were at there best & most gassed at that event.
As for Kaz - I know & Run a business with Geof Capes and He would
Say Kaz was the All Time Strongest Man.
Though that was up to early 2000’s - I’ll have to ask him his opinion
Again with the likes of Zydrunas / Shaw / Thor / Eddie.

There's another look at it in real time, not slowed up, you can see bounce in the bar. There was definitely some weight on it. Kazmaier can be catty sometimes, I wonder if he just dropped that out there to be a dick.
