So it makes sense that Coleman would partner up with powerlifter and bodybuilder <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/larry-wheels-squats-495-pounds-15-reps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"157202\">Larry &#8220;Wheels&#8221; Williams<\/a>, who has amassed an online following for his ability to crank out personal record after personal record. Two generations of strength sports greatness collided when Coleman and W trained <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/best-leg-workouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"157203\">legs<\/a> with the multi-time world record holder in powerlifting.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear when the workout actually occurred, but Coleman was in Dubai, UAE, for an expo appearance when he trained with Wheels in Binous Gym. The workout was captured on video and shared on Coleman\u2019s YouTube channel, which you can see below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LARRY WHEELS hits new PR with RONNIE COLEMAN in DUBAI\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6EFigOyM-SA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"is-layout-constrained wp-block-group is-style-call-out-bm-icon\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-constrained wp-block-group\">\n<p><strong>More From Breaking Muscle:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/back-squat-vs-front-squat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"157204\">Back Squat vs. Front Squat<\/a> \u2014 Which, When, and Why<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/workout-complex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"157205\">Workout Complexes Explained<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Coleman served more as a coach for Wheels during this particular session, with Wheels looking to replicate a version of one of Coleman\u2019s most legendary workouts. In 2003,  Coleman squatted 362.8 kilograms (800 pounds) for a double in a squat suit and then leg-pressed 1,043 kilograms (2,300 pounds) for eight reps.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-workout\">The Workout<\/h2>\n<p>Wheels started with the <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/athlete-journal-chris-duffin-entry-78-the-revenge-of-the-safety-squat-bar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"157206\">Safety Squat Bar<\/a> for his squats, and he worked his way up to a reported 272 kilograms (600 pounds), which he got for 14 reps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was real good,\u201d Coleman said in the video above. Wheels retorted with a line he likely wanted to say in front of Coleman for years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill warming up. Nothing but a peanut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The duo moved to the <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/leg-press-versus-squat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"157207\">leg press<\/a> next. Coleman had been recovering from numerous surgeries since his retirement, but he felt good enough to perform at least one set with Wheels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Wheels would work up to a set of 535 kilograms (1,180 pounds). The entire set wasn\u2019t shown on camera, but Coleman was seen looking on approvingly at the end.<\/p>\n<p>At one point in the video, Wheels and Coleman discussed his training and ability to do full splits when he competed. The famous videos of his squats and <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/leg-press-versus-squat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"157208\">leg presses<\/a> were in the same workout leading up to the 2003 Mr. Olympia, where Coleman won his sixth of eight titles. The workout was a part of his DVD, <em>The Cost of Redemption<\/em>. Coleman said he opted to do the heavy leg presses after shortchanging himself on the squats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had about six in me. So, I was like, \u2018I\u2019m gonna make up for it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the video, Coleman used one of his canes to \u201cknight\u201d Wheels as the new \u201cstrongest bodybuilder in the world.\u201d Wheels shared that moment on Instagram.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CkOPYQuoQmb\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
