His gear use/abuse, and starting so young, will seriously impede his ability to train competition-heavy as he ages past 30/35. Simply put, as with so many of his ilk, he hasn’t developed his body properly to have the necessary integrity to last.
His youth and natural athleticism is his saving grace. But with these kind of shooting stars, they’re always one-more-lift close to catastrophic injury. MUCH more so than athletes who have “built the foundation” with years of very progressive approaches.
I’m not wishing ill on Larry. No such thing.
