Greg Doucette Calls Out Larry Wheels For Allegedly Using “Fake” Weights
Greg Doucette calls out Larry Wheels for fake weights.
Greg Doucette is taking Larry Wheels to task. After a recent video repost, many people have been calling out Larry Wheels for using “fake” weights. While that may not be entirely true, Doucette went on to explain in further detail.
The weights used in Larry Wheels’ most recent training video showcases the popular strength athlete lifting two loaded barbells. The video in question shows Larry lifting a supposed 185lbs in each hand.
After the video came to light, IFBB Pro Greg Doucette had a lot to say. The bodybuilder was says Larry Wheels was misrepresenting the weights he was lifting in his video. His comments pushed Larry to respond to the accusations.
“This needs to be addressed as Greg is yet again attacking my image for his own monetary gain.
“The barbell was 185lbs in each hand. YouTube search “CRAZIEST SHOULDER PRESS YOU’VE EVER SEEN”
“To see the full video where I specify how it’s 185lbs in each hand.”
The Beginning of the Beef
Greg Doucette decided to issue a response of his own.
Be ready for me Jen my YouTube video comes out as it’s 100% undeniable that’s you on purpose chose to deceive the viewers into thinking u were pressing 225 in each hand. I specifically said in my video that you could not do 225 in each hand and therefore it had to be fake Waze last I checked 185 is a heck of a lot lighter than 225 and his fake.
No one said you weren’t strong I just simply said you’re not strong enough to do 225 for 5. And that post lead to other people re-sharing that post even powerlifting websites making it look like you were pressing to place a side which perpetuates the myth that humans are somehow lifting these incredible weights.
It’s deceiving and it’s fake. Of course you don’t like being called out and proven that you’re deceiving the public but it’s not the first time you’ve lied which I also showing this video just so that people see your history.
The smarter play would’ve been to say I forgot to put that it was 185 in the post I put on Instagram not to later add that it’s 185 after the fact and then when you get called out on it you remove the fact that it says 185 because it’s highly suspect to go in and edit the title to make it look like you would actually been in the right the entire time when you weren’t.
While nothing has been confirmed it certainly sparked a controversial discussion. Greg Doucette appears to be relentless in “exposing” other athletes who are misrepresenting their own abilities. With that said, it’s clear that Larry Wheels is legitimately strong.
Still Going Strong
Despite the controversy, Larry Wheels appears undeterred. He recently posted another video of himself lifting 225lbs with one arm.
No matter what others may say, Larry Wheels is an absolute beast. Will Greg Doucette call him out for this one? We’ll have to wait and see. The GI team will continue to follow this news as it develops.

Roelly Winklaar Makes Larry Wheels Look Small in Recent Arm Training Video
Roelly Winklaar completely outsizes Larry Wheels.
Roelly Winklaar just proved that there are levels to this bodybuilding game. In a recent training video, Roelly completely outsized the considerably massive Larry Wheels.
To reach the highest levels of bodybuilding one must push their body past their limits. Namely, one must pack on a ton of muscle. You have to so much muscle in fact that you make other extraordinary strength athletes look small in comparison. That’s exactly the case when it comes to Roelly Winklaar.
One of the top bodybuilders in the world, Roelly Winklaar built a stunning physique. His size and muscle quality are on a whole different level than the average human being. That’s what happens when you put your body through hard and consistent training after all. But it’s clear that Roelly has reached new levels. If you’re able to make someone as big as Larry Wheels look small, chances are you’re operating on a insanely high level.
When the powerlifter isn’t battling Thor or beefing with Eddie Hall, Larry Wheels is pumping some serious iron. Over many years of training Larry has built up a pretty powerful and impressive physique. Despite being massive in his own right, there are still levels to this bodybuilding game. Roelly Winklaar proved that during his recent collaboration with the powerlfter.
During arm day training, both Roelly Winklaar and Larry Wheeler did curls together. Larry states in the Instagram post that he used himself as a reference to show his audience just how massive Roelly is. It’s actually quite the sight to behold.
Roelly Winklaar is quite a massive bodybuilder. If you can outsize a massive human like Larry Wheels then you’re definitely on another level.
What do you think about Roelly Winklaar out sizing Larry Wheels?

Eddie Hall Claps Back at Thor and Larry Wheels After Recent Post
Eddie Hall fires back at Larry Wheels and Thor Bjornsson.
It appears that Eddie Hall has clapped back at Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson and Larry Wheels. His vitriol was in response to a recent demeaning piece of artwork of the 2017 World’s Strongest Man has made the rounds.
The artwork definitely caught the attention of Eddie Hall. It has become obvious over the last several weeks who Larry Wheels is supporting in the battle between Eddie Hall and Thor Bjornsson. Larry Wheels made it a point to throw his support behind Bjornsson.
Brutal Artwork
But he didn’t do it in a particularly neutral manner. On the contrary. Larry Wheels let his support for Thor be screamed from the rooftops. A recent post on the powerlifter’s Instagram showcases a work of art that depicts Thor Bjornsson holding the severed head of Eddie Hall. You can see in the image below that the artwork leaves no room for interpretation.
*Viewer Discretion Advised
My prediction for the match
Suffice it to say, Eddie Hall wasn’t impressed by the post at all. The 2017 World’s Strongest Man had some choice words for the powerlifter who showed his support of Thor.
Eddie Hall followed up with another response, this time taking aim at Thor himself.
Great artwork from Thor and also great to see his professionalism and sportsmanlike behaviour has transferred over from strongman into boxing ?Iv never felt so confident over an upcoming fight in my life so stuff like this just makes me laugh. Il be sleeping like a baby after what I just saw at the weekend and that deluded numb nuts hasn’t a clue what’s coming ?
Clearly there is no love lost between the two World Strongest Man champions. Both men are itching to throw down at this point and with so much preparation, as well their natural dislike of each other, things are beginning to boil over.
Pay-Per-View Details Revealed
Besides these three trading barbs, insults, and artwork depictions of each other, it appears that more news about the fight has come out. A new poster was recently released revealing the other fights that will be on the Thor vs Hall card. It also gives details on how much the pay-per-view will cost.
Early bird PPV tickets are now on sale for $9.99. If you like extreme plastic surgery, you’ll love watching me give Eddie a much-needed facelift–maybe a nose job as well if he can stay standing long enough. In-house seats go on sale July 5th.
