Larry is widely regarded as one of the greatest powerlifters of all time, and goes by the nickname "Mr. Powerlifting".
3 time World's Strongest Man winner and 2 time IPF world champion Bill Kazmaier once stated, "The first time I went to a powerlifting meet and saw Larry, I think he was probably six or seven on his World Championships and he was pretty much-how would you say?-a god in powerlifting. He could go to any class that he wanted to. He could pretty much lift whatever weight on the day he wanted to." 4 time IPF powerlifting champion and 1979 World's Strongest Man winner Don Reinhoudt said of Larry, "I look at Larry, an idol to all of us here-nine time champion and Larry will always be the legend of all time to us."
