Following his military days, Larratt started gaining recognition in the arm wrestling community in the early 2000s. However, his breakthrough to the top happened when he defeated the legendary John Brzenk in 2008.

However, when he underwent surgery on his right arm in 2013, the Canadian had to take part in tournaments with only his left hand and is unable to defend his Right-Arm Arm Wars Super-Heavyweight title.

Two years later in 2015, he became the WAL’s Left-Arm Heavyweight champion and in the next year, defended his title and at the same time won the Right-Arm title. He would then again defend both of his titles in 2017.
