I've only heard of him from here. Apparently he died.

Fitness expert and reality TV star Greg Plitt was struck and killed by a Metrolink train in Burbank, California, on Saturday. He was 37.
Police confirmed to NBC Los Angeles that Plitt was struck at 4:05 p.m. on the tracks at Front Street, just north of the Burbank Metrolink Station. Sgt. Scott Meadows from the Burbank Police Department told PEOPLE that the death "appears to be an accident." Greg Plitt, 37, died yesterday afternoon when he was hit by a Metrolink train after witnesses saw him near the tracks with a video camera in his hand. One friend says he was filming an advert for a protein shake at the time.

Wasn't he an Army Ranger that made it big as a fitness model?

That's a shame. Still listen to some of his speeches when I cant be fucked to train.

It's probably the drugs that got him in the end. Guy was snorting coke like his life depended on it

He knew what is overtraining

"I train one body part and hit anywhere around 28 to 36 sets per body part, going heavy, with rep ranges between five and 10 and more than a minute’s rest between sets, four sets per exercise, six to eight exercises. I always try to do at least 3 cardio sessions a week, but some weeks do 5.

Pushup: 3 sets, 15-20 reps

Day 2: Back

Wide grip pull ups: 4 sets, 6-8 reps
Close-Grip Pull Down: 4 sets, 6-8 reps
Rowing with Cable: 4 sets, 6-8 reps

Day 3: Shoulders

Military Press: 4 sets, 6-8 reps
Dumbbell Side: 4 sets: 6-8 reps
Back to Mancuera: 4 sets, 6-8 reps

Day 4: Biceps and Triceps

Barbell Biceps: 4 sets, 6-8 reps
Dumbbell Biceps on incline bench: 4 sets, 6-8 reps
Dumbbell Preacher: 4 sets, of 6-8 reps
Lying Triceps Extensions: 3 sets, 8-10 reps
Cable Triceps Pull-down: 3 sets, 8-10 reps

Day 5: Legs

Squats: 4 sets, 6-8 reps

Interesting. I was under the impression he was at a modeling shoot.

"Plitt was pronounced dead at the scene, said Burbank police Sgt. Scott Meadows, who said the fatality "was not clearly a suicide" and remained under active investigation."

Difference between "clearly not a suicide" and what was said here: "was not clearly a suicide"

The guy seemed to have it all.

If it was anything like the train accidents you see on sites like Liveleak, the noise from a train travelling in one direction drowned out the noise of the unseen one coming from the other direction. The noise of the first train also drowns out the screams of your friends warning you to move.

Pick the joke:

1. Trained until failure

2, Peace train of peace

3. Not what I meant by let's pull a train

4. Was there a white towel on the tracks?

5. Maybe he thought the train would swerve

6. Shizzo is a fat, lazy, drunken onion head who smells like marboros, cheap vodka and his cousins underwear.

Damn, saw him at Bodypower last year, liked a lot of his motivation vids on Youtube.

I had a chance to work with greg and the other fitness models at strengthnet around 2006 or so. I could never quite hold my condition to look on par with those guys. I felt like he was roiding RIP
