My opinion is likely shaped by my secondary job of working for the rail here locally. It's just so far past the stupid line it's hard to for me to "respect" someone who does this. Not only is it against the law, it's just plain stupid. Probably a nice guy. But at that particular moment, on that particular day, he was an idiot in my opinion

Turns out it was as simple as an egotistical moron believing he could run a 4.4 40.

"Greg Plitt did NOT die from stumbling on a railroad track Saturday ... he was fatally struck by a train after trying to outrun it ... to prove the effectiveness of an energy drink. Video of the accident and it shows Plitt standing on the tracks as the train barrels toward him. Shortly before the train reaches Plitt he assumes a runners stance and bolts down the track. The video shows the train closes in on Plitt as he races at breakneck speed, but he loses the battle and the train "clips" him ... throwing him off the track to his death."

Bravo star and fitness instructor Greg Plitt did NOT die from stumbling on a railroad track Saturday ... he was fatally struck by a train after trying to outrun it ... to prove the effectiveness of an energy drink.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... they have reviewed video of the accident and it shows Plitt standing on the tracks as the train barrels toward him. Shortly before the train reaches Plitt he assumes a runners stance and bolts down the track.

The video shows the train closes in on Plitt as he races at breakneck speed, but he loses the battle and the train "clips" him ... throwing him off the track to his death. It happens quickly and after getting struck he disappears from the video.

And law enforcement tells us they found multiple energy drink bottles near the track and authorities think Plitt may have been hopped up from the caffeine. We're told he was shooting a commercial for the product.

One of the investigators interviewed someone involved in Plitt's video shoot who said Plitt was trying to make the point that the energy drink makes you like Superman ... able to outrun a speeding train.

Sad way to go.

Typical bodybuilding nonsense, trying to nickel and dime to the very end. He could have bought a MAC and edited himself so that he really did out run the train, or ran outside of it from a safe distance, but instead this West Point grad wanted to prove a point.......

I'm sure this will not end well for the energy drink/supplement line.

Hopefully when he passed it was as painless as possible.

Great workouts...

I think he was high on drugs ( not just caffeine

) or he was suicidal.

I refuse to believe this level of stupidity could be the result of someones sound reasoning. No way.

Donny · « **Reply #141 on:** January 21, 2015, 04:37:56 AM »

check out the Tiger push ups at 7.00... pure Triceps and after tri extensions. Awesome workouts which i love watching.

You're probably right. I bet every single person on the set was using their iPhone to take video of Greg 'outrunning' the train.

Classic case of over-training.
