This weekend, Larry Wheels makes a highly anticipated return to the bodybuilding stage at the 2025 NPC Worldwide Musclecontest Ireland Pro Qualifier in Dublin. Known for his remarkable strength feats and versatility across powerlifting, strongman, and bodybuilding, Wheels is now aiming to secure his IFBB Pro Card in the Classic Physique division.
Wheels has been transparent about his rigorous preparation, stating, “Super low calories right now. I’m on like a little over 1,000. No carbs, no fats. 50 carbs a day, which for me is like nothing” . This disciplined approach underscores his commitment to achieving the classic physique standards required for the division.
Previously, Wheels came close to earning his pro status, finishing as the runner-up at the 2023 Amateur Olympia. However, he temporarily stepped away from bodybuilding in 2024 to focus on his new business opportunities. His return to the stage this year signifies a renewed focus and determination to reach his professional goals.
The Musclecontest Ireland event does feature both amateur and pro competitions. Should he secure his pro card, the possibility exists for him to participate in the pro division and ultimately he could earn his Olympia qualification.
Fans and fitness enthusiasts are eagerly watching to see if Wheels can achieve this milestone. His journey reflects resilience and a relentless pursuit of excellence in the competitive world of bodybuilding.
