Ronnie Coleman, the epitome of the bodybuilding industry with eight Olympia titles, has achieved one more milestone on his journey. The King of Bodybuilding recently turned sixty and received immense love from his fans. But there was one wish that made the King’s birthday special. An insane powerlifter with insane PRs in the gym wished Coleman.

The wish came from someone who lifts just like Coleman in the gym, Larry Wheels. Wheels showcased his gratitude for the eight-time Mr. Olympia and wished him through a post on his Instagram account. Let’s find out what Wheels did to make Coleman’s birthday special.

Wheels imitates Coleman

The bodybuilder posted a picture on his Instagram account, along with the King of bodybuilding himself in the frame. There was a portrait of the eight-time Mr. Olympia from his prime in the background. Standing in front of the portrait, Wheels tried to recreate Coleman’s pose. 

The insane powerlifter captioned the post, “Thank you for inspiring generations. Happy 60th! @ronniecoleman8.” Wheels always found inspiration in the eight-time Mr. Olympia and practiced his insane lifts in the gym. He recalled the era when the King dominated the bodybuilding industry with his massive, behemoth physique and inspired many others along the way. 

Not only Wheels, but many iconic bodybuilders have tried to walk the path The King showed them. The four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Culter has always found inspiration in Coleman and never misses a chance to show his gratitude to the 8X Olympia. When Cutler was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Arnold Classic, he thanked Coleman in his speech as well. Now as Coleman celebrates his 60th birthday, Cutler has posted a heartfelt message wishing him.
