The Tragic Legend of Greg Plitt

[Lartinos]

Without his modeling being as in demand as the internet took over it may have made his earnings more pedestrian with his FT job which Google says didn’t pay much.

In the 00’s he must have banked some decent money though.

With the advent of the smart phone it has led to a lot of unthinkable acts happening as people are looking at screens instead of the real world.

How someone couldn’t know a train was near seems preposterous or it shows him taking risks out of an urge to stay relevant in the newer media forms.

Some friends of mine were up a some hill or mountain in Ibiza near some cliff or something.
One of the guys had something happen with his phone and he fell and died.
Guy had a prestigious job too. The story in the mainstream media in the USA said it had nothing to do with his phone, but that’s not what I heard from FB originally.

Wow just googled this dude. What an idiot, ran over by a train while filming some sort of energy drink commercial.

His final photo on the traintracks:





He had a look comparable to Bob Paris, but taller. Greg apparently was 6 ft 1 or 185 cm





Unrealistic motivator though:

"Hard work and perseverance will always override genetics".
Sure Greg. If Schwarzenegger was 5 ft 5 (165 cm) with bad skin and terrible muscle attachments he not have won any pro bodybuilding contest. Let alone get a movie role or be as succesful as he is. Or have become a high in demand fitness model

But "motivators" have to appeal to as many people as possible in order to make as much money as possible. Hence Greg's statements.

He’s def “6 ft” under these days

He overtrained in a huge way !!!   

OOOOHHHHHH SHIT

OOOHHHH HAHAHAHAHA

[Brenda Steunbeer]

He overtrained in a huge way !!!   

He took weight training to the next level

Gotta disagree with you, Wes. I’m pretty sure he under train

[Phantom Spunker]

Gotta disagree with you, Wes. I’m pretty sure he under train

I think that one thing we can all agree on is that the poor guy had it all before he really went off the rails.

Surprised a Ranger would be dumb enough to get run over by a train.

Trains have been around since the early 19th century. Truly amazing how many people in the 21st century still don't understand how trains roll

Video is NSFW. But even despite such vids being all over the web a lot of people just never want to learn. Their stupidity seems untreatable

Not even close to Bob. 

Agreed. Paris had a way better structure and insertions, imo. Plitt wasn't so much about creating a work of art. He just wanted to be a fitness model motivational coach and it worked great for him while it lasted. I know a guy that's similar in personality; and he's mentally draining in terms of being switched on 100% all the time. RiP Plitt, though. He helped many people get into fitness and seemed more genuine than a lot of the others that are around

Bob Paris is one of the greats for sure. I agree that Plitt seemed like he genuinely was interested in helping others and motivating them. Back when that type of content was 1st being posted during YouTube’s early days, guys like Plitt, Greg Avedon, Eric Cressey, Scooby, and Scott Herman were posting sincere content aimed to help and educate. No gossips, no dumb natty or nots, no critiquing/putting down other coaches, and no feuds. Nowadays, so many of these creators do click bait and can only get views by trashing and exposing others. It was much more sincere back then before people learned they could use YouTube to sell and exploit viewers.

One thing plitt had in common with Paris was both loved the cock, Paris was open about it while Plitt was in the closet

100% accurate. It's as if the negativity has taken over
