Ask Question?

Larry Wheels and Vladislava Galagan are back with another jaw-dropping training collaboration. They recently tested each other’s strength with a heavy shoulder workout at the Binous Gym, in Dubai.

“Today, I will do the workout with Larry Wheels. It was kind of last-minute, but today, we’re going to do shoulders. It will be approximately one hour of training,” shares Vladislava Galagan.

Having tested the waters in powerlifting, strongman, arm wrestling, and bodybuilding, Larry Wheels has become one of the most recognizable names in fitness. In addition to his athletic endeavors, Wheels has been open and honest with fans about every facet of his life, including his use and abuse of performance-enhancing drugs.

Vladislava Galagan also emerged as a star in the fitness space. Known as the ‘Kendall Jenner of Bodybuilding,’ her combination of muscle volume and femininity quickly turned her into a money-making machine. She revealed that she has made up to $10,000 a month since going viral on OnlyFans.

Larry Wheels and Vladislava Galagan Smash Heavy Shoulder Workout in Dubai

Check out their workout below:

  • Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press — 1 warm-up set, 3 working sets
  • Barbell Upright Row — 1 warm-up set 3 sets 8-10 reps
  • Dumbbell Lateral Raise — 1 warm-up set 3 sets 5-7 reps or to failure

Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press

Wheels and Galagan challenged themselves right off the bat with heavy seated dumbbell shoulder presses.

“We’re going to start with what I’m very happy to hear which is her suggestion, her workout, dumbbell shoulder press. And I’d say we go to the main room because here they only go up to 100 kilograms and that’s not enough. They only go up to about 40-50 kilograms here. I want to go a little bit heavier and then I’ll let you take the lead from there.”

“So, shoulder press, we will do three sets,” says Galagan.

“We’ll get a nice big shoulder pump, it’s going to look crazy,” responds Wheels.

In between sets, Wheels talked about how size affects overall mobility.

“Well, enjoy it while you can, the bigger you get the less mobility you get,” shares Wheels. “We don’t do partial reps here.”

Barbell Upright Row

Galagan opted for barbell upright rows next. Wheels mentioned that after heavy seated dumbbell shoulder presses to start the workout, he doesn’t worry as much about lifting heavy for the remainder of the session.

“My shoulders are not used to doing this movement,” explains Wheels.

“After the very first exercise, which is the heavy compound movement. I tend to not worry about weight anymore and just worry about form and function. Getting the mind-muscle connection, a good contraction. The first exercise is important for me to build strength and dense muscle.”

“After that, I like to use much lighter weight and just get a good pump.”

Dumbbell Lateral Raise

Taking a rest during dumbbell lateral raises, Wheels explained how he keeps his elbows high and his scapular retracted for the best results.

“The more anabolic you are, the more capped off your delts and traps get. That’s the first thing that responds,” says Wheels. “Elbows need to stay high, stay tall, if you’re going too heavy you’ll look like this [leaning forward] traps come up, I try to keep the scapular retracted especially and do the side raises that way it disengages the traps.”

This wasn’t Larry Wheels’ and Vladislava Galagan’s first training session together. In the past, they worked shoulders and discussed their experiences dabbling with steroids as well as going viral on social media.

As two of the world’s most famous fitness influencers, it’s always fascinating to witness training sessions unravel. While they stuck to only three exercises, they made sure to focus on mind-muscle connection and achieving a proper contraction.
