270lb bodybuilder Vs Marine Corps Obstacle Course

[@letmefeelthevibes]

It's cool to see Larry not afraid or ashamed doing things out of his comfort zone: rock climbing, calisthenics, now obstacle course... I hope he will keep working on his mobility and cardio, he can be a true athlete.

Let's face it, bodybuilders don't like to do cardio. That's why they aren't prepared for these obstacle courses. They'd rather do muscle hypertrophy training, to look bigger. Still, cardio training of this type could be a real game changer for increasing endurance.
