Larry Wheels<\/a> may have looked leaner than ever in the leadup to the 2023 Amateur Olympia<\/a>, but it didn’t take long for him to move the needle in the opposite direction after falling short of securing his IFBB Pro League card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming off an impressive performance at the 2023 NPC Ultimate Warriors in which he won his Classic Physique debut, the uber-popular powerlifter-turned-bodybuilder still had to trim a few inches off his sizable frame. Unfortunately for Wheels, his peak week efforts<\/a> to go from 240 to 232 pounds didn’t result in a first-place finish in Orlando, FL, as Ejike Enwereuzor Jr. captured the Amateur Olympia Classic Physique championship on Nov. 2, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less than a week later, however, Wheels’ body appeared vastly different than it did when he stood on stage at the Orange County Convention Center. On Nov. 5, 2023, a noticeably larger version of the versatile strength athlete<\/a> shared a video on his YouTube video detailing how he gained 53 pounds in five days after competing in the Amateur Olympia.<\/strong> Not only did Wheels discuss his use of diuretics, but he also delivered a complete breakdown of the cheat meals he consumed that contributed to such a substantial jump.<\/p>\n\n\n
