Larry Wheels squatted 16x229kg!

Anyone interested in fitness and exercise will know the name Larry Wheels. This powerfully talented athlete is brimming with unbelievable strength and performs really fabulous feats! He has even spoken publicly about wanting to eventually take up the sport of strongman and win the World's Strongest Man competition!

"I've always been the lighter guy who lifted more than the bigger guys... I have really good levers for squat, bench and deadlift... The thing that really motivated me to get back into the Strongman sport recently and give it a try is that Thor and Eddie aren't competing anymore, so it levels the playing field.

Oleksii Novikov is six feet tall, weighs 130 kilograms (286.5 pounds) and has beaten a lot of giants. I weigh very similar (130 kilograms), so it's very realistic that I could win first place in WSM (World's Strongest Man) or WUS (World's Ultimate Strongman), which are the two biggest competitors."

And just at a recent workout Larry managed to squat 16x 600lbs or roughly 229kg! Do you think Larry has what it takes to compete with the best strongmen in the world?
