Ive never seen a large Ranger. Hell it seemed like everyone lost 30 pounds in Ranger school. Most guys came out 160 lbs no matrer their starting weight. 1200 cals at best doesnt work for a 200 pound beast no matter if you have almost no body fat or not.
Maybe things have changed.
You dont see em going through the pipeline; even the big guys come out super skinny; starvation is part of the stress process, but its different once you're through. Ive met some pretty massive and extremely imposing dudes in batt, the teams, and on ODAs. And despite being beasts, it was mostly muscle. Now imagine them out for a few years and beefing up to play football. Google Jocko Willink as an example, dude was an absolute hoss on the teams and a legend to this day; Marcus Luttrell is a pretty big dude as well, not 270 big but easily 240, and again, that's as lean as they are ever gonna be b/c of the daily routine. Hell, ive seen photos of Rob Oneill where he was MASSIVE, and not fat either. He was twice as thick on ST6 as he his today.
