This is my friend Majd.
00:00
And if he loses 100 pounds
in the next year,
00:01
I will give him $250,000.
00:04
This is Majd’s new home,
00:06
and he'll have his own
personal gym,
00:08
unlimited healthy food,
00:11
and everything else he needs
to lose 100 pounds.
00:12
This is actually crazy.
00:15
But Majd,
there is a catch.
00:17
If you step on this red line before
you lose 100 pounds,
00:18
the challenge ends,
and you get nothing.
00:22
If he actually loses 100 pounds,
00:24
this will be the craziest
transformation ever.
00:25
This is my home for the next year.
This is actually insane.
00:28
See that?
That’s my gym!
00:31
250K… that's the goal.
00:33
Anything you need to lose 100 pounds,
you literally have it here.
00:35
This is the longest challenge
we’ve ever done.
00:38
This might be one of the longest
challenges ever done.
00:40
And I didn't know it yet,
00:42
but the journey Majd would experience
in this video
00:44
was unlike anything
we've ever captured.
00:46
It will go down as one of
the most powerful stories
00:49
we've ever shared on
this channel.
00:52
Honestly, I'm super excited.
364 more days.
00:54
I’ll see you guys tomorrow.
00:57
Good morning.
It’s day two.
01:01
What do I want
for breakfast?
01:02
Ooh, you know what?
Could make an omelet.
01:04
Going from PB and J's,
energy drinks… to this!
01:06
First breakfast of many.
01:09
All right, well…
I guess I better start working out.
01:14
He just started working out and
I think he's already going to bed.
01:20
I think it's hitting him just how
hard this is gonna be.
01:23
Which is why we got him a trainer.
I'm gonna go introduce ‘em.
01:25
This is your personal trainer,
Coach Wall.
01:27
- You're about to get me shredded?
- Yes, sir.
01:29
- About to lose this belly?
- Yep.
01:31
I can't wait to see this man
skinny and jacked.
01:34
One of the most exciting things
about this video,
01:37
is right now, Majd doesn’t even
know how to squat.
01:39
By the end of this video,
he's gonna be a machine.
01:41
Sit your butt down toward your heels.
Drive back up.
01:44
I might poop myself
doing that, brah.
01:47
How much do you think your life will
change once you lose this 100 pounds?
01:48
I'll just be happier.
Longevity of life.
01:50
You know, being able to be
with my fam.
01:53
My niece and nephew,
that's really the most important, so.
01:54
The beginning of Majd’s
fitness journey
01:56
was off to
an incredible start.
01:58
He stayed active
every single day.
02:00
…Five. Good.
Come on!
02:02
But since we were only weighing him
once a month,
02:03
he didn't even know how much
progress he had made.
02:05
100 pounds is tough.
02:08
I don't even know if I've lost
any weight yet.
02:09
But Coach was teaching him
how to eat healthy
02:11
for the first time
in his life.
02:13
Coach cooking today.
He teaching me how to grill!
02:14
- That's good, right?
- That's so good.
02:17
The plan your trainer
laid out for you…
02:18
You've been completing up to
18,000 steps per day,
02:20
you've been lifting weights
5 days a week,
02:23
and you're only eating
2,500 calories per day.
02:26
This is life-changing, right?
I want to lose this healthily.
02:29
This is what I've been eating.
This is what's been getting me full.
02:31
This is the new and reformed Majd,
not the past Majd.
02:34
Every day of his first month,
from the moment he woke up,
02:36
Majd put everything into
losing this weight.
02:40
From cooking and
eating healthy meals
02:42
to doing every workout Coach
designed for him.
02:44
And honestly, it was
amazing to watch.
02:47
This is the face of a man
who wants it.
02:49
- Fantastic job today.
- Thank you so much.
02:51
Super proud of you.
02:53
It has officially been 30 days since
Majd began his weight loss journey,
02:54
and he has no idea how much
weight he has lost.
02:58
- Let's go!
- Yeah.
03:02
How you doin', man?
03:04
Oh my gosh, he's sweaty—
which is what you want to see!
03:04
Means he's working hard.
It's been a month in here.
03:08
And now it is time for your
first monthly weigh-in.
03:10
We're gonna do this every month
until you've lost 100 pounds.
03:13
Majd, when you are ready,
03:18
step on the scale and
reveal how much weight you have lost!
03:19
When you started this video,
you weighed 324 pounds and now…
03:24
- Holy crap… Majd.
- No way.
03:30
You lost 20 pounds!
03:32
- That’s insane, man. Congrats.
- Let’s go, baby!
03:38
Majd, that's 20% of the total weight
you need to lose in this video.
03:39
The weigh-in isn’t all I had
planned for today.
03:43
What do you
got planned?
03:46
Every 30 days, we're gonna be
introducing challenges
03:47
where you can add money
to the prize pool.
03:50
On day 1,
we tested you,
03:52
and you weren't very good at
doing push-ups.
03:53
So your first
challenge is:
03:55
On day 60, after your
second monthly weigh-in,
03:57
for every push-up you can do,
I will add $1,000 to the prize pool.
04:00
So if you do 100 push-ups,
I'll give you $100,000.
04:04
Wait, that's actually crazy.
That's a lot.
04:07
Anyways, I'll see you for
the next weigh-in.
04:09
Bye, Jimmy.
Thanks.
04:11
What can we expect over the next
30 days from Majd?
04:13
Over time, we're only going to
decrease his calories,
04:15
increase his activity,
and up his cardio.
04:18
So it's gonna get harder with him
as the video goes on.
04:20
He is gonna suffer.
This is gonna get harder for him.
04:23
And every 20 pounds Majd
loses moving forward,
04:26
you'll be able to see
a noticeable difference
04:29
in his physical appearance.
04:31
I lost 20 pounds,
which is crazy.
04:32
This is not like,
“Oh, I lost 20 pounds, let's go.”
04:35
No, the challenge is lose
100 pounds, you know?
04:37
And with Coach Wall’s help, you know,
I think we're gonna crush this.
04:39
And crush it, they did.
04:41
Oh, whoa!
Look at this guy!
04:43
Majd was the definition
of determined.
04:48
Alongside the help of Coach and
his best friend, Chandler.
04:51
Pushin' each other.
Love it.
04:54
'Cause when the opportunity
arises where,
04:55
hey, Jimmy asked me
to do push-ups.
04:57
You know, if I hit 50 push-ups,
I could win 50 grand.
04:58
I didn't expect that.
05:00
All right, first smoothie ever.
05:06
Literally the first smoothie that
I have ever made in my entire life.
05:07
Oh, let's hope this is good.
05:14
Bruh, I'm not gonna lie,
that looks pretty good.
05:17
I'm just gonna do the
fruit bowl from now on.
05:22
It was obvious that just doing
push-ups every day
05:24
wasn't going to keep Majd on pace
to lose his weight.
05:26
So as you might
have guessed,
05:29
Coach was there by his side
day in and day out,
05:30
helping him
push the bar.
05:33
- What's up, chat?
- How you doing?
05:37
What a day, man.
I'm almost done here.
05:39
- You're almost done.
- Holy—
05:41
Every single morning.
Make breakfast.
05:45
I’ll walk my track.
I'll play basketball.
05:47
I know, like,
a lot of it's the same.
05:49
It's literally how
my days have been.
05:51
This is it, bro.
I'm really doin' it!
05:53
And I love it,
I’m so grateful for it.
05:54
I like how much you're having to
pull-up your pants.
05:56
That means we’re on
the right track.
05:57
Yeah, I hit 15k steps yesterday.
05:59
- 15?
- That's what we do here.
06:00
Steak, egg,
and cheese today.
06:03
Every day it’s looking
better, right?
06:05
Every single day.
Unbelievable.
06:06
Now, pushing your body to its limits
every single day isn't healthy.
06:08
So we made sure Majd
took rest days
06:12
and got weekly checkups from a doctor
monitoring his progress.
06:13
You're healthy, doing great.
Your stamina's improved.
06:17
So I think you should continue with
the weight loss that you're doing.
06:19
That's awesome.
Thank you so much, doctor.
06:21
I just gotta make
my basketball shots,
06:23
do 20 push-ups,
and 20 minutes on elliptical.
06:24
Should be a breeze.
06:27
But even after rest days, Majd was
still just locked in as ever.
06:29
I have a goal that I wake up
every morning and I go to.
06:33
Every morning,
I choose to win.
06:36
I believe in myself.
I believe in myself to the highest.
06:38
There's not a doubt in my mind where
I can't achieve something that,
06:40
you know,
I'm putting into my mind.
06:42
Good work this week.
06:43
This might be
the best week yet.
06:45
Your gains, the increases
and everything.
06:46
Let's just say push-ups have gotten
significantly easier.
06:48
We're now on day 50,
and I brought Majd a special present.
06:52
- Majd!
- What up, baby?
06:56
You've been killing it
in here.
06:57
You've been following your diet,
working out consistently,
06:58
and walking more than
5 miles a day.
07:01
And to celebrate,
I brought you a gift.
07:03
You have lost so
much weight,
07:08
we got you clothes that is
one size smaller.
07:09
One size smaller
than this?
07:12
Let's see if it fits.
07:13
What do you think?
Does it fit?
07:18
Ok. Next step is extra large,
then large, then a medium.
07:20
- You’re on the path, man. Congrats.
- Let’s go!
07:25
Don't pick me up—
Oh God, don’t pick me up.
07:28
In 10 days is your next weigh-in and
the push-up challenge.
07:31
- You ready?
- I'm ready, man.
07:36
- I'll see ya then.
- See ya, Jimmy.
07:37
Please don't win too much
money on the push-ups…
07:38
This guy doesn’t know I’m about to
take all his cash.
07:40
Which at this point,
Majd was already on pace
07:42
to win at least
another $20,000.
07:44
Dude. Good work
today, man.
07:46
Proud of you for
that 2XL, baby.
07:47
- Thanks, man.
- Yeah.
07:49
Having dropped a whole clothes size
gave Majd a huge confidence booster.
07:51
- How's that 2X feeling?
- Good.
07:54
- Yeah. You look great in it, man.
- Thanks.
07:56
Dude, I'm really proud of you.
This is a big step.
07:58
Although maybe now he had
too much confidence.
08:00
Over the course of
the next few days,
08:03
Majd seemed to have lost
a lot of interest
08:05
in keeping up with
his goals.
08:07
I'm not lookin' forward to
this right now.
08:09
Maybe it was because Coach
wasn’t there…
08:13
Coach is not gonna be in for
training session today.
08:15
Bro, it's actually snowing!
08:19
Majd was just simply
not being himself.
08:21
But then we unfortunately realized
just exactly
08:29
what was bringing him down.
08:32
So one year ago,
I found out my dad passed away.
08:33
One whole year ago,
my life was changed.
08:38
Like I lost, like X amount of pounds.
I FaceTimed my dad.
08:41
He's congratulating me and telling me
“Oh, you look great,” you know?
08:44
When you lose a parent,
especially just losing someone close,
08:47
like, it's gonna take
a toll on you.
08:50
Went from almost 270 back to 324
in a matter of months.
08:52
I'm just so proud of myself
to see how far I've come.
08:56
I'm not lettin’ him down.
09:00
He's with me.
He's watching.
09:01
Luckily, Coach was there for him
in more ways than just fitness…
09:05
I love you too, Dad.
09:10
…and was beginning to have
a profound impact on his life.
09:11
Good man.
Made a good son.
09:14
- Yeah, brother.
- For real.
09:17
Thanks for sharing
that with me.
09:20
It looked like Majd had found
strength to keep pushing after all.
09:22
It has been over two months since
we started this challenge,
09:27
and I have a surprise for
Majd after his weigh-in.
09:30
- Jimmy!
- All right.
09:32
- It's game time, baby.
- What up?
09:34
- Before we get into these push-ups…
- Let’s go!
09:36
- How much do you weigh?
- I don't know.
09:38
- Let's find out.
- Come on!
09:40
It has been over 2 months.
09:41
Last weigh-in,
you weighed 303 pounds.
09:43
And now, Majd weighs…
09:46
Since the beginning of
this challenge,
09:54
you've lost 38% of
your total goal weight.
09:55
Wait, where are you going? Majd!
09:59
I'm gonna interpret that as,
he's very happy right now.
10:02
As promised, Majd,
every push-up you do,
10:09
I will add $1,000 to
your prize pool.
10:12
On the first day of
this challenge,
10:15
you weren't exactly
the best at push-ups.
10:17
- How many can you do now?
- Let's find out.
10:20
$5,000—
Majd, you’re getting rich.
10:30
$11,000… $12,000—
Yo, this is crazy.
10:31
All right, you're up to
20 grand.
10:38
Oh, yeah.
I’m here.
10:39
How many more do you have
in you?
10:41
I got some, bruh.
I got some—
10:42
Got more in you?
Majd, look at this right here.
10:43
This could go in
your bank account.
10:46
30 grand!
I believe in you.
10:57
31 push-ups,
aka $31,000,
11:05
will be added to
your prize pool.
11:10
Look how red
his eyes were.
11:12
Bro, you just
pushed yourself.
11:13
I'm very proud of
you, man.
11:14
You're becoming healthier,
you're losing weight,
11:16
and have now over 2-X'd your
push-ups since being in here.
11:17
You should be really
proud of yourself.
11:20
Thanks, Jimmy.
For real, thank you.
11:21
And follow me to find out what
your next challenge is.
11:24
- Wait, why are we going outside?
- Uh, you'll see.
11:27
Your next challenge: every $1 you can
carry for a lap around this building,
11:29
I will add it to
your prize pool.
11:34
Ok. That doesn’t sound
too hard.
11:35
Well, it depends.
You might get greedy.
11:36
And you might try to carry
$500,000,
11:39
but you can't make it all the way
through, and then you lose.
11:41
That's a lot of thinking.
11:44
And to top this day off,
which I would say's been pretty good,
11:45
I have one final surprise.
11:48
Come on inside and
come see your family.
11:49
My mom, my sister,
my brother-in-law, Dani!
11:57
Have fun with
your family.
11:59
They can stay here
as long as they want.
12:01
Mom— you guys
are here!
12:03
And over the next
few days,
12:05
Majd's family did
everything they could
12:07
to support him in
his weight loss journey,
12:08
like cleaning the gym
12:10
and preparing meals
12:12
so that he could train for
the money walk challenge.
12:15
The big focus right now is just
to get your grip strength up
12:17
Coach wants me to emulate
how it would be
12:21
for me to carry duffel bags
full of money.
12:24
Keep in mind, too,
the faster you walk,
12:27
the faster it's gonna be done.
12:29
We're also working back
your shoulders, your upper back.
12:30
The main goal with this is we're
gonna be building up your strength
12:32
to be able to
do some work.
12:35
And with Majd progressing so
much in his workouts,
12:37
Coach's incredible impact on
his life was so great,
12:39
he became a member
of the family.
12:42
[singing “Happy Birthday” in Arabic]
12:45
Thank you so much.
You do a great job!
12:55
And with his family visit
coming to an end…
12:58
And me being halfway around the world
shooting another video…
13:02
For the next few weeks,
Coach and Majd's connection
13:04
would only grow
even stronger.
13:06
You have one new message.
13:08
Yo, my man. This is so cool,
we get to do this together
13:10
and form this deep friendship.
Man, you rock.
13:13
The way I've come to know you over
these past couple months, man.
13:16
It’s like, you're just a very kind,
caring, compassionate human being.
13:18
You're gonna positively influence
millions of people.
13:21
I haven't thought that far.
13:24
I don't know why I got this
idea in my head.
13:26
What was that like,
jumping in that money?
13:28
All right, your turn,
Coach.
13:33
Yeah, I don’t know if
I want to get out of here.
13:38
- What up, man?
- Yo. It’s ya boy, Coach. Who this?
13:39
And because their bond
was so powerful,
13:44
what came next was the worst thing
that's ever happened
13:46
in one of
my videos.
13:49
And because I was still out
of the country,
13:50
one of my producers had to
break the news.
13:52
- Hey, how's it going?
- Will, right?
13:59
Yeah. How you doin'?
14:01
- Are you tellin' me I'm fired?
- No.
14:02
No, I wish that’s what I was
telling you, I'll be honest.
14:05
Um… but I do have
really unfortunate news.
14:08
I hate to be the person to
tell you this, uh…
14:12
Coach Wall was found dead in
his apartment yesterday.
14:16
No, don’t lie to me, bro!
14:29
No, that’s not something
I would joke about.
14:31
No, this has gotta be a joke, bro.
There’s no way…
15:03
Bro, there’s no way…
15:08
Over the next
few days,
15:14
visitors poured in to help Majd
process his grief
15:16
while he contemplated the decision of
continuing or stopping this video.
15:19
Because ultimately, whether or not
this video continues was up to him.
15:23
You know, both times
I experienced a loss…
15:27
it's snowing outside.
15:31
Yo, my man! This is so cool
we get to do this together.
15:35
—so cool we get to
do this together.
15:38
I look at
the door and…
15:45
I just hope he
walks through.
15:48
Coach was side-by-side
with me.
15:56
And now,
he isn't here.
15:58
He was a good dude.
16:03
And he spoke very highly of you.
And he believes in you, man.
16:04
The moment I arrived back in the US,
I went to see Majd.
16:18
And I'm choosing not to play our
conversation here, but essentially,
16:21
I wanted to let him know
that his grief was real
16:24
and that we could end the video
right then and there
16:27
if he didn't want to continue.
16:29
- We're not pullin' the plug on this.
- Yeah?
16:31
I can't let him down.
16:32
I'm doing this for myself,
and now it’s for Coach, too.
16:34
To honor his mentor and friend,
Coach Wall,
16:40
Majd refused to take on another
trainer for his next challenge.
16:43
And in the days leading up to
the money walk,
16:46
he gave every ounce of strength
he had in every single workout.
16:48
This is exactly why I thought that
for Majd’s next milestone,
16:58
it was only fitting that I give him
something to honor his dear friend.
17:02
Before we do
the day 100 challenge,
17:05
I wanted to give you something
a little special
17:08
that you can put up
on the wall.
17:10
Incredible human being.
17:17
I'm so grateful that I got to,
you know, spend time with him.
17:18
Where do you want to put up
your wall plaque?
17:21
Literally right at the door.
17:22
Just looking up
at this,
17:27
it’s just gonna be my motivation
moving forward.
17:28
- Thanks, Jimmy.
- No problem.
17:30
Let's go weigh in and
see how much weight Majd has lost.
17:32
One hundred days ago,
Majd weighed 324 pounds.
17:35
And now…
let's see what he weighs.
17:39
You've lost over 50 pounds!
17:42
Meaning, Majd is officially
halfway through the challenge!
17:45
Only one thing
left to do!
17:49
Let's see how much money
Majd can carry.
17:51
We have $100,000
that you could win.
17:55
That was not supposed to fall.
17:59
Remember, you can carry as
much or as little as you want,
18:00
but if you drop any of it,
you walk away with nothing.
18:03
It feels good. I mean,
it feels pretty light.
18:07
He’s now got 15 grand.
18:09
One more?
Ok, one more.
18:10
This one on my arm.
18:11
All right, that's $40,000.
We pushin’ for 50?
18:12
- This is all for Coach Wall.
- Come on.
18:18
When you're ready,
cross the start line.
18:19
- Let's go, man.
- All right, he's off.
18:25
Come on, Majd,
you got this.
18:26
All right, he's cooking
18:27
Bro, he is running
with that thing!
18:28
Don't pass out on us.
18:31
Chandler, don't let him
touch the red line.
18:33
I'll push you over
before that happens.
18:35
Quarter of
the way done.
18:39
If a single bag, a single dollar,
touches the pavement…
18:40
you lose all 40 grand.
18:45
Wait, are the bags closed?
18:46
- Yeah?
- Most of em'.
18:48
Hey, you need a break?
You can just put the money down.
18:50
- No. No break.
- Yeah, yeah.
18:51
Three quarters of the way.
18:54
I feel pretty tired!
18:55
Are you gonna pass out?
18:56
You’re almost there!
Less than 10 steps!
18:58
Your prize pool has now
increased to $321,000.
19:04
Time to make it rain, baby!
19:09
Adding it to the pot.
19:11
Do you remember on day 1,
how long it took you to run a mile?
19:13
For our next challenge,
19:18
if you can do a mile in under
8 minutes and 30 seconds,
19:19
aka, half of your
one mile time,
19:23
I'll add another $25,000 to
your prize pool.
19:26
I'll see ya in 30 days. You have
a lot of time you need to shave off.
19:29
Bro, 8 minutes and 30 seconds
sounds easy, but that's hard.
19:31
We’re gonna get through it, though.
We’re gonna give it our all.
19:34
Majd started training immediately.
19:36
I have to get
a baseline today.
19:38
I'm gonna find out how long it takes
for you to run a mile.
19:39
The challenge is
8 minutes and 30 seconds.
19:43
We're aiming for anywhere around
like a 10 minute, 11 minute mile.
19:45
I just ran my first mile,
12 minutes and 50 seconds.
19:59
My legs are on fire.
20:02
Means I have to shave
5 minutes.
20:03
It’s gonna be tough.
20:05
This is strictly cardio, something
that I only do 2 times a week.
20:07
And the cardio that I do
2 times a week isn't even this.
20:10
Majd looked like
he was struggling,
20:13
so I thought I'd check in to share
something that might help.
20:14
When Shopify heard about
your weight loss journey,
20:17
they decided they wanted
to help out.
20:20
Inside is a bunch of gear to help you
train to get under 8.5 minutes.
20:22
Actual running shoes,
more supplements,
20:28
an actual track suit,
20:30
better clothes,
better gear.
20:32
Here's some balls.
Do you get the point?
20:34
This thing is loaded with things
to help get your mile time down.
20:36
And they're all from businesses
built on Shopify.
20:39
Your race is in 20 days.
20:42
Shopify, me, and millions of people
are rooting for you.
20:43
- Let's go!
- Get that time under 8.5 minutes!
20:46
Majd wasted no time in running with
his new gear
20:49
and he even had
some other ideas.
20:51
Come on, man.
You got this!
20:55
Don't let me beat you.
20:57
I'm honestly not sure if
that helped,
21:03
but Majd seemed more
fired up than ever.
21:04
And we were all starting to see
a difference in him.
21:06
- Majd-eroni!
- What up, baby!
21:09
I noticed something,
your clothes are a little baggy.
21:11
Yeah, put the banana down.
21:16
We got you clothes
one size smaller.
21:18
When Majd started this video,
he was a three XL.
21:21
When you put these on,
you'll officially be just an XL.
21:24
We'll see if you can
do the mile.
21:33
Majd wasted no time in
getting to work.
21:37
And other than yelling across
to our prison set
21:39
where a cop and a criminal
are trapped together,
21:41
He completely locked in.
21:46
But his victory was
far from guaranteed.
21:48
- It’s day 130!
- Come on man! Come on!
21:50
Think I gotta change…
21:56
This is the first time in 130 days
I've seen him not in a white shirt.
21:58
When we started this video,
it took you 17 minutes to run a mile.
22:01
And now,
130 days later.
22:06
You must do it in under
8 minutes and 30 seconds.
22:09
25 grand on the line.
22:19
Let's see if
he can do it.
22:21
One out of seven
laps down.
22:26
Majd is flying through his
second lap.
22:28
It's amazing to see how far he's come
in only 130 days.
22:30
When Majd didn't know where to start
his weight loss journey,
22:34
I helped him just like Shopify
helps entrepreneurs
22:37
when they don't know how to start
a brand new business.
22:39
Remember at the
start of this video
22:42
when you didn't know how to begin
your weight loss journey?
22:43
That's how it can feel for
brand new entrepreneurs
22:46
and exactly why Shopify exists
to help them start their businesses.
22:48
Don't quit on us!
Let's go!
22:52
Shopify literally helped me launch
Feastables with an online business.
22:54
I had no idea how to set up a store,
fulfill orders,
22:58
but thanks to Shopify,
we've sold millions of bars.
23:00
Hurry up, Majd!
You're running out of time!
23:06
There's only
2 minutes remaining.
23:09
His pacing has slowed down
tremendously.
23:10
We don't have enough time.
We have to run with him.
23:12
Last lap!
Majd dig deep!
23:14
We’re coming with you!
23:16
To those of you
watching at home,
23:17
go start the business that
you've been dreaming of.
23:19
Go to Shopify.com/MrBeast.
23:21
Starting an online business.
It's easier than you think.
23:24
You're almost there!
23:27
I can’t believe it!
23:32
Majd you did it in
8 minutes and 4 seconds.
23:33
Thanks Jimmy! You show up for me,
I show up for you!
23:36
- Who’d you show up for?
- Coach Wall.
23:38
He shows up for me every day.
I show up for him every day.
23:40
Congrats on 25 grand!
23:43
But more importantly, let's go see
how much weight you’ve lost.
23:46
Turn off the lights!
23:50
On day 1, he weighed
324 pounds.
23:51
On day 30, he weighed
303 pounds.
23:54
On day 60, he weighed
286 pounds.
23:57
On day 100, he weighed
271 pounds.
24:01
And now,
reveal his weight!
24:05
That’s 71 pounds since the start!
24:13
Ok, don’t hurt him!
24:17
Maybe at the end of the video,
we'll lift you up.
24:18
When you started, you were able to
dead hang for 6 seconds.
24:20
In exactly 30 days,
for every second you can hang,
24:23
I will give you $1,000.
24:26
And truthfully, because your
hang time was…
24:28
I brought someone who
literally trains bodybuilders.
24:31
This guy has a degree
in biochemistry
24:34
and is the smartest fitness
influencer I could find,
24:37
All right, he just did
the whole mile thing.
24:46
He's on adrenaline.
24:48
I personally think you can do
a pull-up.
24:49
I wanted to do a pull-up
my whole entire life.
24:52
Just one single pull-up.
24:54
If you can do it,
I'll throw in an extra 10K.
24:55
- No way.
- I got you.
24:57
Wait Majd, you can win
a lot of money.
24:59
These next 30 days
are important.
25:01
Yeah, they are.
They're crucial.
25:02
And to celebrate
crushing the mile,
25:03
Majd and Jeff sat down to share
a little something special.
25:05
- The Feastables cups!
- Let's go.
25:09
This is something that I really
wanted to have.
25:10
You deserve it.
You earned it.
25:12
This is a big moment for me, guys.
25:13
That's some good stuff.
25:17
This peanut butter is like
real peanut butter.
25:19
It was clear that in order to
dead hang for a minute,
25:22
let alone do
a singular pull-up,
25:25
Majd would have to alter his
training plan significantly
25:27
to focus on
upper-body strength.
25:30
- Take your grip.
- Ok.
25:31
And then this is gonna really
kinda shoot you up.
25:33
Does that make sense?
25:35
So it's giving you
a lot of assistance.
25:36
Jeff! I'm so sorry.
25:39
The main goal for me
is to finish this,
25:41
lose the 100 pounds,
25:43
and just make sure that the world can
hopefully see Coach's impact.
25:45
I'm crushing dead hang!
25:47
In only 3 days, Jeff really helped
Majd improve his dead hang,
25:49
which was not looking good
for my bank account.
25:52
This guy is an animal.
25:55
Do you wanna guess
what it was?
25:57
It’s probably like
37 seconds.
25:58
It’s not even the end
of the first week!
26:01
With Majd now
set up for success,
26:03
Jeff left it up to him to prepare
over the next 27 days.
26:05
This is where the real challenge
starts, right?
26:09
On his own now, Majd was really
starting to see his body improve.
26:12
I can feel these chisels.
26:15
He started locking in on everything,
from his workouts…
26:17
Eating only
1800 calories a day…
26:21
We just switched over to
1800 calories.
26:23
And even having a strict
sleeping schedule.
26:26
10 o’clock food cut-off,
sleep by 12.
26:28
So for the remainder of training for
the dead hang challenge,
26:30
Majd really was set up
for success.
26:32
I gotta do 3 sets of dead hangs,
10 to 20 seconds
26:35
Every single day,
he improved his hang time.
26:38
Day of the challenge,
when it comes down to it…
26:41
we’re going till like,
my thumbs actually fall off.
26:44
It really just
goes to show
26:51
that when you put your mind
to something, anything is possible.
26:53
Doing pull-ups, running miles in
under 8 minutes and 30 seconds,
26:56
carryin' a bunch of money around,
doing 40 pushups straight.
26:59
Such an incredible story.
27:03
Game day tomorrow, baby!
27:06
Day 161.
Let's see how Majd is doing.
27:11
Why’s it stuck?
Bro, I’m literally flooring it.
27:16
- It’s weigh-in day!
- What the—
27:21
I think you
broke the door.
27:24
It's the big day!
Are you ready?
27:26
- Uh yeah, I'm ready, man.
- This is gonna be awesome.
27:27
To kick things off, we're gonna see
how much you weigh.
27:29
My theory is you're actually pretty
close to finishing the challenge.
27:32
And then second, we're gonna
dangle you 100 feet in the air.
27:35
And every second you hang,
you win $1,000.
27:42
- Dangled from a crane?
- Hey! Don't worry about it.
27:45
- Let's weigh in.
- Oh, man.
27:47
What do you think that
number will say?
27:48
Majd has done
10,000 steps a day.
27:51
Followed his diet perfectly.
27:53
Not skipped a single rep on
his workouts.
27:55
You only have 10 more pounds to lose,
and then this video is over.
28:13
If you play your
cards right,
28:17
you could be out of here
in the next 30 days.
28:18
All right, but now
you need to lock in.
28:20
Today we find out how long
I can dead hang for.
28:25
I have no idea what
Jimmy has in store for me.
28:27
All I know is there's a crane,
a platform,
28:30
and a bar for me to
hang from.
28:33
100 feet in the sky and
$1,000 for every second you can hang.
28:35
Majd, are you ready?
28:41
All right, the time
has started.
28:50
4 seconds,
5 seconds…
28:52
Hey Majd,
look down!
28:54
- Oh my gosh, does that scare you?
- Not at all.
28:55
Oh, my— Wait, get a shot of this.
This is real.
28:57
Look at that.
15 seconds has gone by.
28:59
You've already doubled
your first time.
29:02
Majd has now won
$20,000.
29:04
- This is light work for you, bro.
- Do not quit!
29:06
You're almost there, Majd.
You're almost there, brother.
29:08
You're the one that's going to
accomplish this!
29:18
Focus on your breath.
Don't listen to Jimmy.
29:20
His hands are giving out.
His face is getting red.
29:22
Bro, do you think I'm not
watching you?
29:26
I got eyes on you
at all times.
29:32
Keep pushing.
Don't stop.
29:34
You don't have to follow
your diet plan.
29:36
You don't have to stay inside
this red circle.
29:38
You don't need to do
anything.
29:40
You don't even need to do this,
but you're choosing to do this.
29:41
Your prize pool's now 400 grand.
His arms are shaking.
29:46
You're almost there.
29:48
I can't open
my eyes.
29:50
The hardest part of
all this, obviously,
29:55
is the connection that
I had with Coach.
29:57
It sucks that, like,
it was so close.
29:59
Oh, he just dropped.
30:04
A minute! It was—
Oh my God.
30:04
The entire platform.
30:06
6 seconds to
60 seconds.
30:08
That's 10X! Hello?
That's $60,000!
30:10
- I'm so proud of you, man.
- Let’s go, man!
30:13
You officially made it
a minute and one second.
30:15
But we're not stopping there.
Because as you'll remember…
30:18
If he could do a pull-up,
I'd throw in an extra 10K.
30:21
- You ready?
- I'm ready.
30:24
And then you're gonna drive as
hard as you can, chest to the bar.
30:26
Can you do another one?
30:36
Wait, he doesn’t
need help!
30:41
Let's go fill up
the prize pool.
30:48
I've never seen Majd
this happy before.
30:50
I told you I was gonna
break the bank today!
30:52
$71,000 has now been added
to the prize pool.
30:55
I know you're on cloud nine.
Arguably the best day of your life.
30:59
But I do have to give
some bad news.
31:02
That was the final challenge.
31:03
No, losing 100 pounds was
the final challenge.
31:06
Ok, yes, but that's the final
micro-challenge.
31:07
- We'll start weighing you every day.
- Let's go!
31:11
And when you officially lose the next
10 pounds, video's over.
31:14
All right.
Good luck, man.
31:17
Majd has only 10 pounds
left to lose.
31:19
So at this point,
it had become clear
31:22
that he was on track to hit his goal
weight within the next month.
31:24
So it started out 250,000.
Now it's at 417,000.
31:30
It was actually insane.
31:33
Now that it's my final 10 pounds,
we are coming to an end man.
31:34
These may be my last
few weeks in here.
31:37
It's definitely
a bittersweet feeling.
31:40
It's kind of crazy how far we've come
in less than 6 months.
31:41
It's like I look at myself like,
who is this person?
31:44
If my old self walked through
that door right there, right now,
31:46
he'd be like,
"Who is this?"
31:49
I've seen the seasons change
while I've been in here.
31:50
I've been inside of a red circle,
basically away from everything.
31:54
I'm just, I’m so grateful.
So thankful for the experience.
31:59
Coach being the biggest impact
of this whole thing.
32:03
I know he'd be
proud of me.
32:07
He said this one thing,
32:08
"It’s so cool that we
get to do this together."
32:09
While Coach gave Majd all the tools
he needed to lose 100 pounds,
32:12
when he does finally
leave the circle,
32:16
it will be up to him to apply what
he's learned to his everyday life.
32:18
The journey’s
almost over— Sike.
32:23
The journey’s
almost over in here.
32:24
The real journey starts
on the outside.
32:26
I have the clothes that I wore when
I first got in here.
32:27
I'm gonna try 'em on.
32:30
Let's just say…
we lost a little bit of weight.
32:31
Bro, look how baggy
these are.
32:34
Seeing Majd trying on his old clothes
gave me an idea.
32:36
What if he could try on
his old body?
32:40
This is a bodysuit that is
a 1-to-1 replica of Majd on day 1.
32:42
No joke, we scanned
your body,
32:46
saw exactly where you lost fat,
and created this suit.
32:48
Bro, there’s no way
this is me.
32:52
That's literally another
human being.
32:53
- Let's put it on.
- I gotta wear this?
32:54
175 days ago,
you wore this every day.
32:56
I wanna see myself
real quick.
33:00
This fat suit weighs exactly
97 pounds.
33:06
He is now back at
his starting weight.
33:09
You probably forgot what life used to
feel like. Let's do a lap.
33:11
I hope this helps
you realize
33:13
how much you’ve changed
throughout this video.
33:15
Alright, let's try a lap.
33:16
Here's footage of him actually
running a lap on day 1.
33:17
If you think he's being dramatic,
go pick up 97 pounds, and you'll see,
33:20
that's a lot of weight to
have on your body.
33:24
You like your day 1 body,
or your day 175 body?
33:29
Of course,
my day 175 body.
33:31
Since we're weighing
Majd every day,
33:33
we were seeing him get
closer and closer,
33:35
until he was only a half a pound away
from his goal of 224 pounds.
33:37
- Oh my God, dude.
- You have no idea how close you are.
33:42
Wait, wait, wait.
Can I turn around?
33:44
Seeing just how far Majd had come
from his old self
33:48
made it pretty clear
to everyone
33:51
that it was probably time to do
his final weigh in.
33:53
Today could be my last day.
33:56
It's crazy. 6 months.
Half a year.
33:58
Today could be the day
all the hard work paid off.
34:00
Or we're still half a pound away.
34:02
Over these 6 months, Majd slashed his
daily caloric intake by 600 calories,
34:04
decreased his fat mass
by over 50%.
34:09
He also did 3,950 pushups and
made 17,600 basketball shots.
34:12
And according to his doctor,
if he keeps this up,
34:19
he'll have increased his lifespan
by around 5 years.
34:21
But before we know if
this is his final weigh in,
34:24
we have a message from Majd,
from himself.
34:26
This is actually a video from
day 1.
34:28
Majd, you're looking lean.
You're looking healthy.
34:31
You're looking bald.
Beautiful as ever.
34:35
But most importantly,
you don't wanna go back
34:38
to what you're
looking at now.
34:40
This is something that you never
wanna feel again.
34:41
Once you break
that barrier,
34:44
you continue to push on and
push through,
34:46
you'll never wanna get
back to this.
34:49
This is something that you're gonna
do for the rest of your life.
34:51
I'm not gonna let you fall off.
34:53
Dang, bro.
That's crazy.
34:59
I gathered all your best friends,
even David Letterman.
35:05
David Letterman! Yeah!
35:08
He told me he's a fan of his show
so I brought him out.
35:10
This could be the
final weigh in.
35:13
- Ok.
- The last time.
35:15
Reveal the results!
35:29
And before he goes out
to see his family,
35:48
we're gonna do something a little
different and jump forward in time
35:51
to show you his
full transformation.
35:53
Here it is.
After half a year.
35:55
I might get married.
36:04
I might get married!
36:06
178 days in
this circle.
36:08
Take your hand off
your eyes.
36:10
We brought your family out!
36:12
Oh, I love you, mom!
36:23
You know, without Coach Wall I
wouldn't have been able to do this.
36:25
And he said it would be so cool that
we get to do this together.
36:27
And today is that day that
we get to do this together.
36:30
Thank you guys
for watching!
