Why is he so intent on doing bb and powerlifting at the same time?

Why is he so intent on doing bb and powerlifting at the same time?

Couldn't he be the greatest powerlifter of all time if he went full fat Larry?

Larry pls go.

Its because powerlifting is a stupid pseudo-sport that no one gives a shit about.

>Why does this person want to achieve so much in his life?
it's why we will remember his name

this, based and redpilled

If you're gonna do strength sports strongman is far better, highland games is best

>strength sports strongman is far better
Better to watch, but not better as a measure of strength.
Strongman involves plenty of events where you do multiple reps; that's not a true test of strength, that's a test of strength + endurance.
I don't know much about highland games, but that event where they throw trees is pretty cool

Cause bodybuilding is 20 times harder to coordinate and fine tune and would actually get you respect and he's doing both cause he wants to be something new and exciting to both sports.

/thread

Because he's a fatherless nigger with a GDE.
He needs money and there's no money in powerlifting.

>he asked to be born into that shituation

Pretty low of you dude

That's the reality - he literally has no job prospects outside of minimum wage at 24 years old and powerlifting doesn't pay untill you've made it big and kept big for a decade.

Bodybuilding is the only way he'll ever earn enough money to live and still powerlift as a hobby.

He's got 600K instagram followers.
He's probably making a decent amount off of that.
I have no idea how that works, but other people seem to live comfortably off less

>mfw he's 3 years younger than me and can squat over 400kg

I heard his motivation to lift was the be the biggest baddest strongest guy in town, so nobody would bully him or some shit.
That requires both strength and a touch of aesthetics

Compare him to any other successful powerlifter.

Nobody comes close to Larry. He knows the money is in bodybuilding. Powerlifting as a career would leave him working minimum wage and still being weaker than he is now.

Not if he has the potential to become the strongest man alive.

Eddie Hall has 900k btw.

Lets be real, hes doing it for the instagram followers. He already has a decent paycheck as his rent is 7 grant a month, has a invite to go train with thor in iceland so you know he will be strong as fuck when that comes to pass.

Eddie has 900k, because he won WSM2017 and nobody will ever beat his strongman deadlift record.
Larry has 600k because he's an entertaining bodybuilder who does powerlifting like Ronnie Coleman did.

Larry already said in one of his videos that he never thought he could be big enough for strongman, but might give it a try, since Eddie was about his size when he started the bulk that ended when he won WSM 2017.

if he went bloatmax he would be the best powerlifter ever. being in la with a bunch of fags though wont help him push strength limits as much but will help him with bodybuilding. he needs to basically work on everything except shoulders, back, and chest

Well he's trying to build on his genetic ability to look, train and move the amounts of weight the way he does. Can't blame him for that it's all he has. I remember him saying he couldn't finish education because he was born into a shitty family situation and that he's been brought to lifting in his teens through people in the gym. He basically stuck to that and started blasting at 15-16
So there's no plan B for him if we're honest.
And even though he's on a successful path right now I doubt he'll be able to sustain the lifestyle he's living for very long.
He doesn't look healthy and I suspect there's a lot of shit going on inside of him that has yet to reveal itself. He's admitted to blasting and has probably done so since his teens. He does heavy ass powerlifting on top of bodybuilding diets and large amounts of PEDs. He's breaking PRs at a stupendous pace as well. His body won't tolerate that forever
Organ damage from PED abuse and damage to his joints, ligaments and probably muscles will also follow if he continues to advance at this speed with the training he does.
Expect to see him fucked around the time he's 30

None of that will matter if he leaves a legacy behind, dude. If he gets to a position where he has made history he will be able to live off that legacy forever, using his image, selling things, etc etc etc.

All that matters is how far he's willing to go in order to create a name for himself.

it looks like he's already trying to cash out instead of continuing to build his foundation. of course he will continue to grow but not as much as if he had continued to focus primarily on building.

Because he can

People already beat his record in training. Strongman is not marketable and impressionable enough for normies as bodybuilding mainly cause of instagram. It can also be really stupid with equipment failures and some of the dumbass events they have the strongmen do. Bodybuilding is by far the most dumb lifting related sport but it has the best income. If it wasn't for instagram no one would give a fuck about lifting culture its like a woman in tech and she knows what she doing.

>bodybuilding
>respect
Lmao nigga bb has been an embarrassing shitfest for years

Larry is a fag. His videos are more clickbait then chinese guy trying to keylog someones computer with porn links. He is not breaking PRs. Call me when he has 500 pound ohp and 700 bench.

>he says while bodybuilding

PRs are "Personal Records", you fucking dunce. If he curls 50lbs being that his previous best was only 40lbs then he just broke a PR officially.

exactly. The dude is lying about them being PRs. His shit is clickbait

wtf who beat his deadlift in training?

are you actually implying that pl is a better measure of strength than strongman?
>multiple reps is not a true test of strength
who says? pl and wl both involve a lot of "tricks". strongman is the only strength sport that involves unambiguous feats of strength

>axle press
>not a gimmick military press with shit form

>deadlift
>somehow different than when powerlifters do it

>car flip
>somehow different than the clean and press

>implying that strongman isn't just fucking crossfit but with heavier shit and even dumber events

Yup

Let's be honest.
Less then fucking no one cares who the strongest man is.
Everyone cares if you LOOK strong, good, and can lift heavy shit.
Plenty of fat as fat ass out of shape dudes who're on enough gear to kill a horse lifting relatively heavy shit.
Dudes that look like Wheels, has his lifts, and have his background and personality are rare.
Dudes as clean as a virgins snatch. A real virgin not a technical one who's got a colection of dildos that reads like an encyclopedia of sex toys and gives the greatest head in ten states.

He's also taking full advantage of social media. Something the big guys are failing it.

This dude gets famous it could be a boon for strength sports and bodybuilding.

you are an actual fucking retard

Yes
It is also the og strength sport.
