Larry Wheels is one of the biggest names in fitness. On Saturday night, he earned his IFBB Pro Card by winning the Classic Physique division at the 2025 Musclecontest Bullman Pro Qualifier in Dublin. Notably, Wheels entered the competition late, after only six weeks of preparation. Despite that, he outshined other Classic Physique competitors fighting for pro status. Immediately after, Larry Wheels took to Instagram and he celebrated his win and called out fellow rising star Sam Sulek.
He wrote,
“Just won my pro card. This has been a lifetime goal. Omg. @sam_sulek when is your next show?”
Previously, Wheels made a push for his Pro Card in 2023. Back then, he finished runner-up at the Amateur Olympia and came close to his goal. However, he stepped away from bodybuilding after a relapse involving steroids.
Instead, Wheels focused on powerlifting. During that time, he pursued strength goals, including aiming for a 1,000-pound deadlift.
Now, Wheels has returned to bodybuilding. With just six weeks of prep, he built a winning physique and secured his pro status. Clearly, his comeback hints at a potential rivalry with Sulek.

Larry Wheels Earns IFBB Pro Card, Calls Out Sam Sulek for Future Matchup
Recently, Sam Sulek earned his IFBB Pro Card by winning the 2025 Arnold Amateur. Earlier this year, he finished first at the 2025 NPC Legends Classic in Las Vegas. As a result, that victory qualified him for the Arnold, and he seized the opportunity.
Over time, Sulek has grown in popularity. Although fans admired his impressive physique at a young age, some criticized his diet and training methods. However, in recent weeks, he cleaned up his diet and focused on weight loss. Specifically, he adjusted his calorie intake to reach his goals.
To prepare for the Arnold Amateur, Sulek put in significant work. He reduced his calories to about 1,900 per day and added extended cardio sessions. Ultimately, his effort paid off with a winning physique.
