A long career of physical fitness was cut short when Greg Plitt tried to race a train and lost.
Greg Plitt graduated from West Point and served as a Ranger for five years before obtaining his personal training certification. With a list of successful clients in Los Angeles and a noteworthy body of his own, Plitt quickly made a name for himself in the industry.
He created the workout program MFT28 and scored some covers of notable fitness magazines, like Men’s Health, as well as some commercials. In 2008 he joined the show Work Out.
In 2015 Plitt wanted to show just how much energy he got from an energy drink he was marketing. His idea for testing this was to try and outrun a Metrolink train, which he decided to do right on the Metrolink tracks.
Unfortunately, for Greg, trains are very fast. It would be the last race he would ever run.
Although Sally McNeil is well known for building her body, she is most famous for ending her husband’s life.
A former marine, Sally McNeil was known for violent outbursts. She was once arrested for kicking a bouncer in the face and she had many altercations with her husband, Ray McNeil, who was also a bodybuilder.
Both McNeils won some bodybuilding competitions and were able to make money with the sport. They had something of a tumultuous relationship, though, and they fought often.
No one really knows what happened on Valentine’s Day of 1995, but it ended with Ray McNeil lying lifeless on the floor and Sally in jail as the responsible party. Both of them had steroids in their system at the time.
Although she tried to say she acted in self-defense, Sally has been locked up for the crime since 1996.
