I figured it was because he starts his days on the road at Cracker Barrel.  The guy likes his blueberry syrup! I don't care about his weight, I'm there for his instruction not to check his physique.

As far as LAV, wonder what the total percentage of the U.S. Population is that have served, in one of the Special Operations units, been deployed that many times, shot that many people, and lived to tell about it is? Unless you're one of the distinct few who have, then your opinion regarding Larry Vickers weight or accomplishments is irrelevant IMO. Honestly, I'd feel stupid even making a negative comment about it.

What surprises me most about men like Mr. Vickers and others like Travis Haley is not only that they've accomplished what they have, but that they're willing to wade through a bunch of SpongeBob watching, keyboard commando, printer repair men's stupid and childish comments in order to share what they've learned.

Also, it never ceases to amaze me, in either a video posted somewhere or when a thread pops up here about one of the aforementioned guys, there's always people who come out saying "I didn't know that was him", "I did'nt know he was part of _______"  or "I didn't know that was him in THAT video". I don't know why people make comments about others whom they know little or nothing about.

LAV has earned whatever state of fitness he wishes to be in, and he doesn't owe me an explanation.

I only met Larry once. Very briefly, in the back of a blackhawk helicopter when he and his team pulled my bleeding, filthy, and naked self from the jungle.

He looked over at me as I sat near the back and by the door, smiled, threw me his canteen. He then gave me a big high five.

One of the best fucking days of my life at that point.

He's fat, don't fucking care. I need to buy him some beer, lots of it.

Discipline, some in this thread could not fathom in their tiny brains the level of discipline it takes to accomplish what the LAV has.


edit: He was 27 years old on that day, I had just turned 28. He was not fat that day.

I like Vickers, guy is a walking bad ass, overweight or not he has put in his time been there done that. He can take a break and eat what he wants he has nothing to prove, he has my respect. I actually take into consideration what he has to say because I know he has the knowledge.

Vickers and Haley are about the only two guys I watch and can stand. The rest seem to be more obsessed with their looks then what they're actually talking about.

Good for him.  I don't begrudge him anything.

If he were my friend, I'd say try Keto-- but hey, if he doesn't feel like it, he can do whatever the hell he wants.

Good on LAV for making the video.

He put foot to ass for the US and DID give the best years of his life willingly. For people to call someone fat should probably know where they have been.

A year ago April 1 I suffered a catastrophic blowout of my lower back deadlifting 750 1rm and went from being 235 @ 10% benching 375, squatting 405 all for reps  to 225@22% because I can not run, barely walk, swim etc and have a year to go to be eligible for my pension at the fire dept. My waist went from a 32 to a 36. I feel his pain.

Much respect for him as it takes a certain type to nut up and call themselves fat after doing what he did for so long.

Unfortunately he has to contend with malcontent morons who don't have the imagination, let alone experience to even get their heads around a guy who's walked the walk he has.

No hijack intended-- but almost all grownups who are overweight are overweight because they eat too much bad stuff.  Exercise is about 10 or maybe 20 percent of it.

I lost 20 pounds at age 56; I did it in 3 months.  And I only had 20 pounds to lose.  And it's still off.  And there was no increase in exercise.

If any of you wants to do it, you can.

"I'm fat because my knee hurts."  Well, no.  Try "My knee hurts, so I'm gonna cut back from six beers to two."

Now back to the thread.  And I'll repeat, Larry you deserve our respect, and whatever you choose your weight to be, you're entitled.


ETA once you lose the weight, lots of body parts mysteriously stop hurting.

I agree it boils down mostly to what you eat.  I guess I just don't understand the big deal about the way people look.  Some people eat whatever they want and stay skinny, some people eat really well and stay fat, most people are a reflection of their diet choices, but what does it fucking matter?  I'm fat, but not so much that it impedes me from doing anything I want/need to do.  My bloodwork comes back good at the doctor, and I feel great.  I even started going to the gym a few months ago, I really don't look much different but I am stronger and my cardio is better.  



If you're unhealthy you're unhealthy, weight is only a portion of that.  If you're a bad motherfucker (say for example, a Delta Force guy) who can defend himself and his family if the time came, it really doesn't matter if you do it with a gut or a 6 pack.




I'm sure most of those internet trolls calling LAV fat wouldn't dare fuck with him in person.

Yep.

The way I look at it (haven't watched the video) with LAV is that people expect a certain "look" to go with the knowledge.

Now right or wrong it's there. He does have a bust your balls personality, nothing wrong with that at all and he has the history and can obviously back up the shooting.

But if you are former delta etc they expect you to look it.

Take Paul Howe for example, Defoor, Lamb and the list goes on...

Simply an observation.

Vickers trashed his body while dedicating his life to being a hard charger for our country. Doing what he did takes a massive toll.

I'm not much of a fan boy for anyone, but being disrespectful to men who serve, at such huge costs to themselves and their children/families, spouses, etc is nothing but low class and shows a definite lack of character .

LAV and other former hard chargers, no matter if the are overweight, in a wheelchair, or still in peak shape, will always have a seat at my family's dinner table.

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.



Here, here!  I respect the f&%k out of Vickers, he's accomplished more than most will dream of.

The "fat guy" feedback has NOTHING to do with his military service and EVERYTHING to do with him milking it for every last penny.

He sells, and sells, and sells himself. He is not receiving anything that he has not asked for.

I'm happy for Larry and his success. Major, major props to him for his service, and a great debt of thanks.

But, the fact is that he has made himself a very public figure, and that comes with caveats.

Vickers has moved on from Delta to training, consulting and product development.  Add in some writing and video work.  Good for him.  As long as he can wobble out to the range, I could give a fuck less how much he weighs.  He apparently can still deliver the goods when teaching and has some real world experience to use when teaching.  He also built 1911's in the late 90's to early 2000's while still on active duty and if I recall correctly they were really regarded as well built guns that most people will never own because he built so few of them.

Pretty great as seen in this thread, there is always that one guy or two who have to piss on someone who's clearly down. Just like I'm sure Vickers is skimming through this thread, he sees the asshole (and minority) comments over the years and it eventually builds up. While of course if Larry put his mind to it, he could lose even more weight, not everyone can be super-motivated in every aspect at every point in their life - especially when you spent 20 years focused on fitness at the level that he did.

You get burned out, injuries stack up, and the simple fact that when getting out of an experience like Delta, the amount of calories you burn goes way down but a lot of times the diet remains the same.
