Larry Wheels<\/strong><\/a> has made up his mind about a potential bodybuilding comeback following his latest injury, saying \u201cI don\u2019t have any intention to do bodybuilding.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Wheels suffered a torn bicep<\/a> during his boxing match against Vitaly at Brand Risk 15 in Miami on Saturday, Aug. 22. The injury brought the fight to an abrupt end. Despite Wheels landing a knockdown, the bout was ruled a no contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n In a post-fight interview, Wheels discussed his recovery plans and said he may skip surgery.\u00a0<\/p>\n The comment seemingly puts to rest, at least for now, the possibility that fans could see Larry Wheels flex on stage again.<\/p>\n While showing the injury during the interview, Wheels joked that his two arms are now \u201csymmetrical\u201d because he previously tore his left biceps.<\/p>\n Wheels said:<\/p>\n \u201cNow it matches my left bicep. So now they\u2019re symmetrical.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He added that his previous injury took only a matter of weeks to begin healing and said he opted against surgery because of the lengthy recovery that would have followed.<\/p>\n Wheels said he may once again allow the injury to heal without surgery, while mentioning the potential use of peptides during his recovery:<\/p>\n \u201cI may just take some peptides<\/a>, heal for the next month, and let it be, man.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Wheels\u2019 history with biceps injuries stretches back several years. In 2019, he tore his left bicep<\/a> while training for a competition and ultimately allowed the injury to heal without surgery.<\/p>\n Years later, Wheels explained that the tendon had torn from the muscle and that a specialist initially told him it could not be reattached. Wheels said he later learned that surgery had been possible and acknowledged that he should have sought a second opinion at the time. By then, however, he was unwilling to undergo a procedure that could have kept him from upper-body training for roughly nine months.<\/p>\n The timing of Wheels\u2019 latest comments is significant because he has already proven himself capable of competing at the professional level.<\/p>\n Wheels earned his IFBB Pro card<\/a> in Classic Physique in 2023, adding bodybuilding to a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 that already included elite-level powerlifting<\/a> and ventures into strongman and arm wrestling<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, his interests have increasingly shifted toward other competitive pursuits. His bout against Vitaly represented another move outside traditional strength sports, although it ended prematurely when Wheels suffered the latest tear.<\/p>\n For now, Wheels appears much more concerned with getting healthy and moving forward than planning another bodybuilding prep.<\/p>\n Image embed via Instagram @larrywheels<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Preferred](\"https:\/\/generationiron.com\/wp-content\/themes\/generation-iron\/images\/preferred-source.webp\"\/)
