After hitting your PR in the gym, have you ever thought about challenging a powerlifter known for his insane PRs? Even if you do, would you dare to challenge fitness freak Larry Wheels? Most people wouldn’t, but fans of a Russian fitness enthusiast are asking him to do just that. This happened after the gymgoer posted an Instagram video showcasing him performing a bench press with a weight that might scare most people.

In the video, Smaev benched 25 reps of 451 pounds, making it look like child’s play. Smaev weighs a staggering 308 pounds and often lifts immense weight in the gym. But as his recent reel signals his immense strength, will Smaev have a chance against Wheels?
