Larry “Wheels” Williams is no stranger to the strength sports sphere. A bodybuilder<\/a>, powerlifter<\/a>, strongman<\/a>, and popular YouTuber (roughly 2.25 million subscribers), Wheels is one of the more recognizable names in a community of elite athletes. On April 3, 2022, Wheels made waves with his strength when he achieved a one-rep, 661-pound paused bench press<\/a> in training<\/p>\n

Per Open Powerlifting, Wheels’ mark eclipses his best-ever traditional bench press in a powerlifting competition by 16 pounds. He’s also pressed 675 pounds, raw, in training. And this lift was also raw, while Wheels wore elbow and wrist wraps for his paused bench press. Given the bench press variation that some might consider more challenging, it’s an impressive strength showing. <\/p>\n
