Mini bio

How it started.

Larry Williams began training while living on Saint Martin as a teenager. In his Muscle & Fitness interview, he described making a barbell from a broomstick and cinder blocks because he could not join a gym. Exercise gave him a way to deal with boredom and bullying. Back in New York, he joined a gym and discovered how naturally strength came to him.

Finding his audience.

His heavy lifts brought him attention on Instagram, while competition results made the numbers official. PR Lifestyle lists a 2,171 lb total in 2016, a 2,275 lb world-record total in 2017 and a 2,370 lb total at the 2020 Arnold Sports Festival.

Trying new arenas.

Larry expanded into bodybuilding, strongman and arm wrestling, and appeared as himself in the 2021 documentary Strength Wars: The Movie. In May 2025 he earned his IFBB Pro card in Classic Physique. His later videos follow gym collaborations, combat-sports training and recovery from biceps injuries.
