Country music star Luke Combs disclosed a 30-pound weight loss during a recent hunting trip to Utah, attributing the change to a renewed focus on physical fitness. The revelation came in a vlog posted to the Leupold Optics YouTube page earlier this week, where Combs discussed his performance in the field and his personal health goals.
In the video, Combs stated that getting healthy has been his "main goal" and that the hunting trip served as a significant motivator. He noted that while he managed to get by during a previous elk hunt in New Mexico the prior year, he wanted to "hold my own" and "earn it" rather than underperform. "I am down a little bit from last time," Combs said, adding that while the camera adds weight, the 30-pound difference is evident to him.
The primary objective for the trip was to tag a mature elk, ideally using a bow. Although Combs was unable to make the shot with a bow, he successfully harvested an elk with a rifle. The vlog highlighted his determination to improve his physical capabilities to match his ambitions in the outdoors.
Combs has previously discussed the challenges of weight management in interviews with Apple Music and on Joe Rogan's podcast. In a 2022 conversation with Apple Music, he cited the arrival of his three sons, Tex, Beau, and Chet, with wife Nicole, as a key factor in his desire to lose weight. "This having a kid thing has really messed up my head on this thing in the best way," he said at the time. He also acknowledged that genetics played a role in his difficulty losing weight, describing it as a "horrible genetic dice roll" that became more apparent with age.
Despite acknowledging that lifestyle choices contributed to his weight, Combs emphasized in a 2023 appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast that conquering this issue was a personal challenge solely within his control. "I want so badly to conquer that, and I will," he said. The recent weight loss marks a step in that long-standing effort to improve his physical health.
