He done ate the vid, and left an empty white box in its place, like a cheese burger.
ETA: I don't care that he's fat. Cheeseburgers taste good, and a couple of decades of being SF probably fucked up his body enough that regular exercise probably hurts.

And, as someone who spent eight years in Army combat arms and who failed in his own attempt to join Delta Force, I think Larry's earned every right to let his body relax for awhile, even if it meant he put on some weight. |

Quite the opposite actually. As I said in my edit, I think Larry's earned the right to take easy for a few years, even if it means putting on some weight. If he wakes up in even half the pain I feel in the morning, it's amazing he's even half as active as he is. |

He said he was going to answer the question "Why I'm fat".
He never answered the question, LOL! Here's the answer: Ate too much, exercised too little. Nothing but respect for Larry Vickers, but that was an odd video. |

I enjoy his work. Anybody that served in an elite unit like he did has nothing to explain to me. But in the tactical community especially, if you're overweight, you're going to hear about it.

Good video. I understand that Mr. Vickers has made some statements to piss people off, but bitching about his weight is silly. As others have said, his service and the abuse he endured from that service more than gives him a reason to be overweight. More power to him for joining a gym and still making an effort.

Flame suit on.
He needs to just say "I'm fat because I fucking want to be after a stressful, difficult, and dangerous career in the Army." - any red blooded American, or hell any soldier from around the world, should be able to respect that. What he ends up sounding like to me in this video is that he doesn't *want* to be fat, but he is because of injuries. Sorry Larry, but if you're physically able (i.e. not in a wheel chair or missing appendages, etc) to participate in crossfire classes, then you are capable of not being fat. If you WANT to be fat because you just don't want to work as hard in your retirement, then own it. Nobody gonna question you on that one, not with your credentials. But what I'm hearing are, ultimately, excuses. Also, training Crossfit is just about the worst thing that somebody who claims to have injuries and daily pain, can do. You need active therapy and corrective strength training, and a diet. Again, totally understand if he just DOESN'T WANT to do those things because he's retired, had a hell of a career, and wants to relax. But that's not what I take away from what he said and acted like in this video. Still respect the hell out of the guy for his service though. |

People mocking him are about like someone mocking a retired NFL player who's gotten a gut. Fuck the haters. If it's so easy tell us why you didn't. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. |

Larry has put out some better videos lately so maybe he has a point about feedback. Other than that he's full of shit. He could lose that weight solely through diet regardless of his .mil injuries. His injuries may restrict his ability to exercise but he's fat for the same reason I'm fat, lack of discipline. And he's too young for that line about at least he was in Delta Force when he was young and thin.
I don't particularly care that he's fat, he doesn't claim to be a crossfit trainer. |

I have too many stress and impact injuries. What do I do for exercise? Oh yeah, you know that program where people get hurt all the time through stress and impact injuries? What? Why is everyone laughing?
ETA: I have absolutely no problem with people letting their bodies go after their service. None at all. My best man's dad is a prior Marine infantry, and he let himself get fat as hell. I don't care; that guy's awesome. I'm sure Larry is cool too. But Larry's got people editing these videos, and this is the stuff they come up with? C'mon, it's just funny.

I gotta say for being a larger dude, he's definitely agile. If you've never been fit, always been fat, agility and exercise is hard. If you've been fit and especially muscular, you often keep some amount of that muscle and layer fat on it. Even with numerous injuries, a former athlete who is now fat will probably be able to perform way better than someone who is equally fat but was never fit to begin with. Because underneath they are still working with somethin. |
