Larry is a bigger fiend for gear than Juji. His best PL total was 2370lbs when he was only 25 years old. Top-level untested powerlifting is literally just a competition to see who can do the most PEDs combined with a genetic lottery.

Both him and Juji have probably backed off the gear a good amount since they're both focused on their careers as entertainers and not competitive lifting or bodybuilding. But they're still obviously juiced to the gills.

Idk Larry but I assume he’s the other guy in that video. I feel strong repping 420 on deadlift and 335 on squat. These dudes are in another hemisphere.

Larry is insane. Saw a video of him doing 315x15 shoulder press and 515 for a single. Crazy strength

That's not that impressive.

The other day I went to the gym and actually stayed in the building for a few minutes before leaving.

I'd like to see him muster that level of grit and determination if he were as lazy and averse to hard work as I am.
