Greg Plitt ... RIP

[Daniel A]

Very recently someone on the forum posted a video Greg uploaded. So I started watching his YouTube videos and subscribed to his channel. Also very recently, in the comment section -- people kept posting that he died, RIP, etc.

I seriously thought they were all trolling, so I ignored it. Then I kept seeing it. So I finally just Googled it.

He actually died...

My prediction is that he will be a YouTube sensation long after his passing. Just like Zyzz.

This also reminds me of Andy Whitfield (the main actor for the original Spartacus series) who also died really young.

Man...

EDIT: Crazy coincidence. The quote in my signature. https://www.coach.me/ has new quotes on their website everyday and that one (I believe) was yesterday's.

Holy crap, it reads like a story from the onion. So sad!

Man this has wrecked my day. Always found Greg motivating as all hell!

Brutal! Just came across this guy a few weeks ago, from a fellow forum member sharing links to his videos.

Truly had the gift to get people motivated and thinking right.

RIP

I think it was @jockinbox who I first saw post this video.

I'm serious though, I thought they were all trolling in the YouTube comment section. Then when I finally look it up and see the articles it was a WTF moment. Crazy man, crazy.

 

[TheNextTrump]

Crazy man, crazy.

Very crazy, I literally watched a video where he was running next to a train on gravel, and jokingly was like (dude better not slip)

Then a few days later (today) I see this thread, and read the article. UNREAL.

Goes to show how precious (life) really is, one wrong choice/decision and BOOM your whole life is INSTANTLY gone.

I was also looking at videos of Arnold Schwarzenegger a few weeks back and I was noticing that he's much older now.

Wow, some interesting coincidences.

Kind of a tangent, but...

I was looking at some videos of Arnold Schwarzenegger a few weeks ago. When that day comes, it's going to be a sad day.

Seriously man. And I still don't know WTF happened. How does that happen? Was he listening to loud music and didn't hear it or something? Stuck and couldn't move? I don't get it.

The suicide speculation was hinted in one of the articles, but it's hard to think he'd be a guy who would do that to himself.

This article (http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment...g-plitt-struck-killed-train/story?id=28309016) gave me some clarity, but even the witnesses are "trying to determine exactly what happened." I'm ranting now. Rage

Never mind.

Sad day for the fitness industry. He inspired many.

Apparently he was playing chicken with (or racing) the train and slipped.

EDITS: I forgot to add the time when that's mentioned. It's around 25:10 and on.

I also found a telling comment from <ahref="http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Greg-Plitt-Hit-By-Train-Video-Tracks-Memorial-288990431.html">THIS ARTICLE</a>

He's one of the few bodybuilders who really speak motivating message like he means it
Although I'm not that into the whole RAWR RAWR bro-talk, from time to time I get some dose of inspiration from him

Rest in Peace to my brother Greg Plitt

I remember back in high school me and a friend would watch the previews to his video on Youtube, trying to puzzle his workout together.

One month I found a 10 dollar bill and I bought a gift card and spent that on a membership to his website and shared it with my buddy.

Those videos were the foundation for everything.

I don't think I would be on this road if it weren't for Greg.

I owe 100% to this man. May he rest in peace

Seen 2 gifs of him and then saw two quotes with greg plitt, then I googled and saw he was the one who died.
Didn't know who he was untill after his death but I'm gonna find out and watch his videos on youtube out of respect.

I found his videos about 3 weeks ago, the news of his death kind of destroyed my day in a way but also his work & lagacy motivates me twice as much...

 

[Mamadoo]

He died trying to outrun a train to proove the effectiveness of an energy drink he was promoting. I mean... come on now...

That's what media told you, which you assume it's true. And based on that assumption you make a judgment.

There are about 4-5 versions of the story circulating around, of course every media wants to have their unique story and gather more audience.

The truth of the matter is that he's gone. It's easy to judge after shit happens. We all have done stupid shit sometimes.

But learn to question the media, and think with your own brain.

I posted about this a few days ago, posted a collection of my fav greg plitt vids. http://builttodominate.com/2015/01/ultimate-greg-plitt-tribute/

I can say he definitely molded me into the person I am today, used to watch and read about him from the get go

 

[Mamadoo]

No meed to question the media when every story is the same. Quick google search of his name provides me with all of the same reasoning as to how he died, go ahead search his name & youll see.

 

[Tribute soul]

Its hard to believe my idol Greg is no more.. RIP Greg.
