Greg Plitt passed away last night. I made the decision yesterday that I was going to go to an expo and meet this man and thank him for how he has transformed my life; and this morning I saw the news. This loss isn't confined to the fitness industry, it is a loss for the entire world. Greg Plitt was an inspiration in every respect. I will dedicate the rest of my life to being the best that I can be in honor of this man! You have lived and given more than ten lifetimes worth. May Jehovah bestow upon your soul all of the blessings you have given to the world with the example of your beautiful and fearless life. Thank you for showing me how to take my life back!
***** Greg, Mike and Kai Greene are the three best I have found when it comes to advice in both fitness and life. Love and live by these men's words and you can't lose.
I know it's comical to some, and I know there are a few ridiculously easy jokes about "train-ing" that some comedic geniuses feel they can't help but post. On a worldwide public forum, that's expected, but there is a grieving mother, father and sister out there. Can we at least have a week grace period for the man's grieving family and friends. It's okay to have a LITTLE respect for Christ sake!
Sure I also first subbed because of the insane training videos like the Iron Marathon etc... But I must say that these Mental Jewels videos are absolutely the best content that you've got on your channel & Im sure I ain't the only one who'll say these videos have broaden out my vision about life in general, not just working out.. Much respect Mike
I am so glad you talked about how we are a direct manifestation of our thoughts. A lot of people don't believe but I truly do, hence why I stay positive!
You're my new online mentor, thanks for the motivation, thanks for taking your time out to do this. Just what I needed to hear today... best motivation
I honestly respect you for this one..the TH-cam Fitness community can sometimes be overwhelming and alludes egotistic views on bodybuilding. But you nailed it, the mind is equally as important as the body. definitely picked up a lot from this, I just wish most teens nowadays would quit the bs and get themselves together like this
I started watching you in 2013 when I was in highschool, the only vids that appealed to me were the training ones, the mental jewel vids fell on deaf ears for me.. but 7 years later I’m going back to these now and understand what I missed out on. Much love 💯
Been working out since I was 14 starting at 135lbs by the time I was 23 I weighted 165lbs when I was introduced to overtraining a yr later I bulked up to 205lbs and cut down to 195lbs all using overtraining THE SHIT WORKS thanks mike and appreciate the mental jewels it's important to keep balance 💯
You're a hero to me Bro. I came across your station a few months ago and now I'm working out hard. I was 360lbs, now I'm 332lbs! I feel stronger and my muscles are shaping and getting hard. This video is so motivating, and I appreciate you Bro. You're a blessing in my life and keep up the good work.
The Topics that Mike shares in this video in my opinion are My Toughts & how i apply stuff in my life almost exactly word for word! I had been in a slump & under a lot of pressure & @ times i was ready to give up & situations that had occured throughout my lifetime were starting to make me weak so when those things started to manifest themselves again i was no longer going to tollerate it! Situations that occured today was what finally made me decide without a doubt that it was way past due time for me to handle my biznis then i saw this video & it made my heart smile & put a true smile on my face! So Thank You with all My Heart Mike!!!!!!!!!! You have inspired me!!!!!😇😘
wow! i felt like i was hitting a all-time low point in my life before i watched this video but a lot of it just became clear to me.. hard work gonna pay off soon..You a real inspiration seriously.
Law of Attraction, love what you preach and teach Mike. Normal/Mediocrity/Average sucks. But with YOLO. You don't "ONLY" live once. You have one life, but you live everyday if you choose to.
bro your good! don't worry you have never shown your crowd that you know it all. you showed us the more brains the better the ideas. learning from others and adapt bro you are Mike Rashid and Mike Rashid stands for motivation!
Just wanted to say thanks brother, your videos always inspire me to keep pushing. I'm a father of 4, a husband and a law enforcement officer, who works a lot of hours, so you can imagine how difficult it is to stay on course, but I'm gonna keep pushing. You are one of the few who I feel like that's real, a lot of dudes out there really seem fake to me. Just giving you props cus you deserve it, keep doing what you do. I pray that God keeps blessing you so you can continue to help many.
So awesome that more and more people are getting this message! Within the past year I've seen and heard this from multiple inspirational figures. I've been practicing this for about 6 years and see it happening on a daily basis now! Good shit!
hey Mike I just wanted to thank you for your work and especially for this video. I am 19 and I have no problems with being a bodybuilder, I'm even very successful at it but at the same time I'm studying in Switzerland to be an engineer and I really struggeled at putting in the work that puts me in an advanced position.. I just couldn't find the motiviation to really make that difference even though I love what I study. This video just changed me man, It set me mentally in the right state to go through that work as well not just bodybuilding. Respect to you Mike, your clearly a person to look up to and to learn from, for sure...
That was absolutely the most powerful, inspirational, realist thing I've ever watched. Im 18 Ive always looked up to you gym/physic wise but now i look up to you intellectually too. Watch out because soon I'm pass you in not just those categories but all ... Hopefully
Currently found you and all I can say is wow! Humble and an inspiration. Thanks so much. I hadn't been seeing changes in my gym growth for awhile. Listen to you and now I get it. I have you in my head and lifting till it hurts, uncomfortable. Staying mind strong. Going to get this. 😎 Thanks so much.
MAN! I started watching your vids a few weeks ago and thought you reminded me of my Platoon Sergeant and mentor back in army training. After this video, I feel like you two are the SAME person. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and spread your wisdom and knowledge. So glad I stumbled across your page. I'm a new fan.
Your videos Mike are so inspiring to me. Not only do you motivate me to take my lifting to the next level but also my life in general. Everything you say makes perfect sense and the videos you make are the exact type of content I and others need in our lives. I wish you all the best in your life and thank you for the inspiration! You giving back to the people has worked on me and many others. Love from the UK man, keep the videos coming
Couldn't have said that better. Im glad you said rip greg plitt in your post too man. Sometimes I find my self being obsessed with the gym and it ends up making my career suffer. It's all about balance. Great video man
I got to stop using my substance abuse history and mental illness as a crutch in life. I feel like so many people sell themselves short. Great video bro.
Much Respect Brother, Its crazy how so many can hate on you dropping some mental food, Keep up the work that's needed by the few, I and I see I, Keep your head up,Respect!
Very thoughtful video. The most intriguing part that stood out to me was setting that standard of excellence for myself as the individual and setting that standard also for the people around me.
Train your body AND your mind. That's right! I watch a lot of your videos Mike - good work. You're doing it, keep doing it, and take it to the next level... I can't wait to see the next level...
Mike; You and I have a similar mindset, and having a BA in philosophy, I truly respect and admire your mental state and want for progression. I'd love to hear some of the book titles you choose to engulf yourself in. Alpha all day.
This is awesome, I have felt the same way for so long. I continually stress this to my boys in the gym, being physically strong is great and very important, but to be well rounded and to have a strong mentality and a well trained mind is equally if not more important. When I tell people I'm training, I might be sitting there playing sudoku or some shit and they laugh. But to me it isn't worth having one strength without the other. Only well roundedness brings alpha status. Thank you for this mike
You should consider dropping a mental jewels album and putting it on iTunes. Just an idea that you and everyone else could benefit from. Love the content bro. Salute
So thankful to come across Mike Rashid. Dude got me walking around these streets looking like a Mutant with the Mind of Einstein lol #SOALPHA #GRATEFUL #ISYMFS
Damn this video is on point...especially the part referencing the importance of retaining information with the ability to apply and explain it. Humbling words my friend. Keep crushing it!
Man fuck all the negativity.....Mike this was a life changing vid for me....it definitely spoke to me when you was like "things that come easy....go easy", "things that you work hard to get.....you end up keeping" sounds alot like how i need to approach women man....especially the easy come easy go....that figure of speech might be the same thing....but the way its worded here just seemed to resonate with me more....good look
Hey man, I'm new to your channel but I can see the love and passion you have for your craft. Your a very smart man, so I wanted to ask if you believe in Jesus. The bible just has so much knowledge and wisdom, so I thought why not ask. Thanks for the content mike -frank
Hey whats up Mike. Russell Rodrigues here, I love that you did this piece dedicated to Gregg Plitt because he was the real deal! He wasn't about the flash, or the look at me aspect in life . He really care about people and was genuine. I watch his videos till this day , I see the same thing in you which is why I follow you. You have been inspiring to me! Gregg is passed and in a better place, but I need someone to look to that's movin along and understands the times that we all moving through, and you are that guy , so thank you !!! Question for you , I seen you had the 1 month challenge for 10 g's cash... I was late to sign up but at the same time im not setting my goals to win cash, my win is the way im gonna feel after my journey, is playing and staying youthful with my kids, that's my win. Im 42 years old , i'm a single dad of 2 that works full time for the Salvation Army non profit youth center in Salem Oregon, so the pay sucks but I love helping people, im a youth mentor and im a full time student trying to better my life and become a Paramedic within 2 or 3 years. Sometimes we who help , need help ourselves. I find myself always giving but not giving to myself. I was an athlete all my life but let myself go. I wanna be at my best shape ive ever been in life by next year! Im 42 6'1 and 285 lbs. I love my coffee and cant afford all your sups like that ritual. I aint messaging you for no damn handout. But id like to know if I could pay that price of $50 for the workout and meal plan that you offered for the challenge and with that I plan on changing my life as I keep staying motivated by your videos ! If it cant be done for any reason , no worries bro , I know imma win regardless , Ijust need direction something I can follow ! Much Mahalo form your Hawaiian friend ! Yessir keep em coming ! Stay Blessed ilensfinest@hotmail.com Russell Rodrigues
You went over a lot of points that are relevant to my situation at the moment in this video Mike. Ive just broken up with my girlfriend of 2 years and as you said in the video she didnt have enough in her mind to keep the relationship going, just wondering if there are any books you would reccomend reading to stop me feeling so down about it. Thanks Mike.
Who’s still here in 2024 👋🏾
Mike Rashid's mental acuity is in direct correlation to his boxing endeavor. He is showing poise. Further, an adept in contemporary society when it comes to masculinity.
Three years later and I still watch this and it hits me even more, way more! Thank you Mike, for real! God bless you man.
Greg Plitt passed away last night.
I made the decision yesterday that I was going to go to an expo and meet this man and thank him for how he has transformed my life; and this morning I saw the news. This loss isn't confined to the fitness industry, it is a loss for the entire world. Greg Plitt was an inspiration in every respect.

Ig Da If Darwin had his say, this man would populate the whole damn world.
***** Greg, Mike and Kai Greene are the three best I have found when it comes to advice in both fitness and life. Love and live by these men's words and you can't lose.
I know it's comical to some, and I know there are a few ridiculously easy jokes about "train-ing" that some comedic geniuses feel they can't help but post. On a worldwide public forum, that's expected, but there is a grieving mother, father and sister out there. Can we at least have a week grace period for the man's grieving family and friends. It's okay to have a LITTLE respect for Christ sake!
Ig Da I never said everyone doesn't die, neither did I say it was a "freak accident".
Ig Da How exactly did he die? I heard somewhere he got hit by a train filming another fitness video. Sounds like a freak accident to me! lol
Sure I also first subbed because of the insane training videos like the Iron Marathon etc... But I must say that these Mental Jewels videos are absolutely the best content that you've got on your channel & Im sure I ain't the only one who'll say these videos have broaden out my vision about life in general, not just working out.. Much respect Mike
7 years later still your MF set!!
Where is the love button here?? Mike Rashid NUFF respect
I am so glad you talked about how we are a direct manifestation of our thoughts. A lot of people don't believe but I truly do, hence why I stay positive!
It's true thoughts are energy and you create your life slowly based on your thoughts.
How are you Peter Lee, do you still believe in manifestation of your thoughts?
You're my new online mentor, thanks for the motivation, thanks for taking your time out to do this.

Thanks Mike.
