admire rick ross showing his vulnerability on camera ... through a workout, he's getting stronger and giving other ppl the ok to do the same thing! working out everyday, it can be a struggle... keep going ross...
people live the way they want to live because thats the life they choice to live. go live yours and stop judging others for being different from what you consider is right for society and what you think is right for Crossfit. Crossfit wants to show that anyone with $150+ a month can do this form of workout and its just not directly towards one specific crowd. and having a celebrity as big as rick ross pushing the brand is not going to hurt them at all.
CrossFit® A level 1 CrossFit coach requires 300 minutes of training, how is that a professional coach? And all the Gyms in my area charge $100 monthly. Also, Rick Ross is a terrible "inspiration" nonetheless role model. Shit video CrosShit.
CrossFit® Do the damn thing Rick Ross. I am a big fan of your music. Been a fan since middle school 2006-2008. I workout also. Love the feeling. I also eat 3 small meals and 2 snacks 5-6 days a week. Keep it up. You may become the most muscular dude in the game.
I don't understand if this comment is pro cross fit or against it. Either way you shouldn't have to spend $150 a month to workout. Just buy some free weights at a yard sale for $20. If you have 200lbs of weights you can get a really good workout in. Also running and swimming outside in summer are free and if you can't do 20 pulls ups or 100 push-ups without stopping or run a mile in under 5 minutes or a 400m in less than 60 seconds you can then thats something to work on that doesn't cost any money gives your body a workout and if you can accomplish any of those thing your probably pretty fucking jacked or at least in really good shape.
Steve Ornelas Yeah, I gotta friend that only works out when he's high. He's tried explaining it to me how he feels more in the moment and the pump feels better. I have to try this now. Gone to get 2 marijuanas, brb.
Another great peak into the life of one our fellow crossfitters (sic). CF has opened my mind and I am starting to learn that everyone has different points of view and represents a variety throughout our respective communities. My favorite thing about CF is that when I am in the box we are all have one thing in common and we push each other. I get to make friends with people I would not normally hang out with. When I see someone on the street that has a CF shirt on I smile and say hi and they always brighten up and talk about CF. So for me CF is bringing people together for the right reasons. I can respect those of you who disagree, cause I respect you all now. Thank you CF and Go Rick! you go this...
This is the coolest interview i've ever seen homey do. He came off a lot more humble and likeable here than in past videos that I remember. Real positivity. . Hope things continue to work out for him. Keep living and getting smarter, wiser and inspiring to those that look up to you! That's what it's all about
This is encouraging. Starting crossfit at 38 years old, trying his best, not perfect (but hey who is?) - respect for the effort & glad Crossfit is showing us that this is really for everyone and anyone at almost any stage of life.
I'm reading the comments and I think many are missing the intent: This video is not for the mature CrossFit enthusiast (though released on the CF channel). This introduces Crossfit to Rick Ross' audience - of which many are CF enthusiasts - but reaches further. And for that reason I think it works (although tested my patience in several instances). I'm glad to see a cultural influencer embrace this sport and all of the amazing physical challenges, results and mental benefits. He's progressing daily with effort, making one change at time. And that's what we do at the box everyday.
Pretty good videos but I Wish it would've focused more on CrossFit and more of his workouts rather than his music, first face tattoos and if he likes his phone or not. Was looking forward to this video for a while, feel kinda let down. But props to the boss for working hard and staying on the grind!
He may not be the best role model. But you gotta give him props for trying to be fit and healthy unlike a lot of people. Hopefully someone else who's obese/fat will take this video in a positive way into wanting better there own lives in working out and eating right as well. Smoking isn't my thing but hey! he does live in Cali plus a lot of people smoke weed nowadays anyway. I don't recommend it but one step at a time I guess lol
This isn't a promotional obviously! This dude is documenting his journey. I'd wager that over half the folks at our local gyms smoke pot. And the ones that look the best at our gyms are using other substances. I'm not mad at anybody in this video.
Wow! Some of these people really love to hate. I think y'all are mad 'cause your friends are sorry and you're broke. Keep it up Mr. Ross. I hope you stick with RossFit and reap all the benefits!
Props to crossfit for keeping this video close to the truth. Weed and training are part of rick ross lifestyle. So I applaud the channel for showing that in the video.
I like this guy a lot more than I did prior to watching this video. You gotta respect a guy for trying to better himself, physically or in any way. I hope he's this chill on an everyday basis, too. That'd be mad dope. Big ups, Rause.
+Brabantse Boef who gives a fuck bout real gangstas...most of them are in jail wasting away...this is nuthing bt entertainment n Ross killin it.l don't give a shit bout a real gangsta they don't inspire me shit. ..at least Ross inspires me to get creative with life and get paid 4 it.
Look if Ross takes a step to better his health good on him. He has more years to grow as a person. As far as the gun thing I didn't see anyone say a word when Rich Froning was shooting and blowing up things. Yes I would like to see even more positive black people in Crossfit but that's on HQ. At the end of the day this is a story of fitness. Crossfit has plenty of others to like, you don't have to like Ross. Let's give guidance not negativity. Ps: let's not front like we don't play street music in box.
Ross is doing his thing props to him.... but why are so many people upset that he smokes??? Weed is perfectly harmless.....the guy changed his lifestyle nonetheless
This was a good video I'm proud of Ross. He may represent some poor examplesthrough his music but he's a showman and it's his persona just like an actor's character in a movie, you can't take what artists say in their music too seriously that's where parenting comes in and making sure your children aren't listening to music they shouldn't be just like they shouldn't be watching movies they shouldn't be. I love Tarantino movies but my kids sure as shit aren't going to be watching them. At the end of the day he is a big guy who decided to make some changes and get healthy and the Crossfit commnuity should be proud of him. Good job Rick Ross!
don't matter who it is that does crossfit. Crossfit is about the work and dedication. Everybody dedicates themselves to different things in life, it is not our job to judge on what we do in our personal jobs but what we do in the Crossfit world. Thank you Rick Ross you set a great example for hard work in both hard work with personal career and dedication in a crossfit box.
+FROZENFVNG HOLLOW u r truly bitch made hating on a millionaire & you're broke takes a lot of balls I bet the name you're using isn't your real name. IDIOT
I would like to see more of this! I saw Riff Raff doin workouts too online but this is very interesting aswell. I like watching other people's fitness journeys.
Big props to the Bawse for not putting up a fake facade. He could of easily shot that piece without all the smoking, gun toting images but he kept true to who he was! THE BAWSE!
The comments on this are laughable. He is trying and succeeding, so what about the weed. He does it and does crossfit. What's your excuse? I'm not saying weed is good or beneficial but if you can't get over that then you are laughable and by commenting on bad endorsement for both you're so wrong in your mindset already you probably don't have the balls to go to a gym and train.
Good for him man.. It's good to see this dude put down the pills and booze and pick up a barbell. Nice to see him less fogged up and actually sober-ISH lol.
I'm gonna take it for what it is a man who was well into 300lbs on the scale decided to make a few huge changes and lose a lot of weight as far as it being Rick Ross and everything I'm not offended by it....... Most times he's talking about drugs and material things but for once he is doing a little positive even if he is smoking a blunt it's a start on the right direction wasn't expecting perfection from a man like Ross and props to Garret for going and doing his job he could have easily fallen into the bs
Wtf does the pistol in cross fit have to do with cross fit? Come on Ross, there's the streets but then to get away from the streets there's the gym. Damn
DON FETUCCINI well the cake wouldnt taste so good with a gun in it and this isn't a gym but this guy's back yard. educate yourself about how mechanical objects work and they wont be so scary
Congratulations to him for making changes in his life... You all need to stop hating and take it for what it is... A high profile rapper who is using his celebrity to inspire people to exercise and live better lives...
Everyone to busy worrying about the negatives instead of the positives. The man is bettering his life and everyone should be supporting him. If Ross can do it literally anyone can. If I was sitting on over $100M I would be smoking weed on camera too.
I find it HILARIOUS that they show Rick Ross, the hard drug-dealing, thug killing BOSS, doing cross fit and eating kale. Good for him, but still HILARIOUS!
Never smoked weed and never done crossfit, but the hate on this video is ridiculous. Just because weed is shown, crossfit is now somehow a disgrace to fitness? Smoking a marijuana is not worse than the current popular IIFYM diet everyone is getting shredded on. Eating processed food daily as long as it fits your macros is something to bitch about and violates the principal of fitness.
Some people are mad because he is smoking weed in the video. Have you thought of the possibility that it could be medical Marijuana due to his medical seizure problems that he has been hospitalized with?
Proud of you Mr. Rick Ross. Hopefully you focus on the the positive comments posted here. Even if you change a little for the better everyday your making progress. Good Bless and thanks for motivating others in a similar position. Being that i have lost a close friend to obesity and bad health in his early 20's i appreciate you showing your fans this side of you. This display of your character is motivating others and changing lives and I'm sure saving lives as well. Keep it UP. Bless. Bawse, Bozz cROSS FIT. BLESS
I respect the Boss so much here. Hes working hard and it shows. A man has to respect what this man is doing to trim down. This is why hes super successful. He works hard.
Can't hate on him for finding a way to better himself. On a unrelated note, *SHOUTOUT TO ALL THE PEAR*
Hold tight my Melon Gang
" I eat pears now"
yeiah im kinda intoxicated with how he says PEAR ..kill myself... no homo..char13 lmao
True that

Good for him!
Yoo nick check my video out "468lbs to a Beast " how i lost over a 100lbs
I don't think anyone could ever take a person serious with a name like "dick head".
strong.
bodybuilding/powerlifting > crossfit
admire rick ross showing his vulnerability on camera ... through a workout, he's getting stronger and giving other ppl the ok to do the same thing! working out everyday, it can be a struggle... keep going ross...
+Darrin Mclaren he shows his many rows of breasts any chance he gets. pretty sure he doesn't give a fuck about being vulnerable
Don't condemn someone for smoking a herb when your favorite crossfitter is using HGH, Steroids, and etc.
He just kept it real about what he does.
people live the way they want to live because thats the life they choice to live. go live yours and stop judging others for being different from what you consider is right for society and what you think is right for Crossfit.

CrossFit® A level 1 CrossFit coach requires 300 minutes of training, how is that a professional coach?
And all the Gyms in my area charge $100 monthly.
Also, Rick Ross is a terrible "inspiration" nonetheless role model. Shit video CrosShit.
CrossFit® Do the damn thing Rick Ross. I am a big fan of your music. Been a fan since middle school 2006-2008. I workout also. Love the feeling. I also eat 3 small meals and 2 snacks 5-6 days a week. Keep it up. You may become the most muscular dude in the game.
CrossFit® if by fair, you mean 180 to 200 dollars a month, then yes the prices are fair...
if you want to play than you will have to pay
I don't understand if this comment is pro cross fit or against it. Either way you shouldn't have to spend $150 a month to workout. Just buy some free weights at a yard sale for $20. If you have 200lbs of weights you can get a really good workout in. Also running and swimming outside in summer are free and if you can't do 20 pulls ups or 100 push-ups without stopping or run a mile in under 5 minutes or a 400m in less than 60 seconds you can then thats something to work on that doesn't cost any money gives your body a workout and if you can accomplish any of those thing your probably pretty fucking jacked or at least in really good shape.
Ive never tried smoking a blunt directly before a wod, but I cant imagine it would go well
Lets just say you wont be as strong. Youll be able to do it but youll have to WORK
I prefer it before lifting weights. Better mind/muscle connection and it takes the edge off the muscle burn
Then you haven't lived good sir.
Steve Ornelas Yeah, I gotta friend that only works out when he's high. He's tried explaining it to me how he feels more in the moment and the pump feels better. I have to try this now. Gone to get 2 marijuanas, brb.
Tony Tiso It isn' t. No definite research has been done, but deduction makes up for that. www.t-nation.com/training/lifters-guide-to-marijuana
Respect the Boss. At least he's trying.
19:03 Got that gat with that Larry Bird Clip in case some haters roll in heavy on that cRossFit workout doe
I don't care what you say about this MAN he's BLESS.
Another great peak into the life of one our fellow crossfitters (sic).

Lol to the gun sitting on the ground at 19:04
This is encouraging. Starting crossfit at 38 years old, trying his best, not perfect (but hey who is?) - respect for the effort & glad Crossfit is showing us that this is really for everyone and anyone at almost any stage of life.
Spend money on trainers and chefs instead of strippers and tricks.
pears now n shit like dat
***** wrong popular black guy...
+soskul khaled is not black. arab

Heck yeah! Happy for you man!
Props to Ross and Crossfit. The dude works his ass off in the studio and the gym and it's paying dividends.
I really hate on Crossfit, but it's awesome to see that he's pushing it to his limits to achieve his goals. Keep it up
are we ignoring the gun at 19:04?
+Aaron Bates Could be his security guards.
+Aaron Bates whats wrong with guns? are you a communist?
***** seen happy gilmore? his boss has a shirt, guns don't kill people, i do. lol

i love that Crossfit endorses Ross. i get high, do Crossfit, Listen to Ricky Ross. They all go so well together :)
Train train train! Good for him. Never slam a person for getting involved in anything that helps the feel better and become more healthy.
Facts.
lol one of my new favorite CrossFit vids... like his comment at the 12 minute mark... "if I never made it... I would be content without a record deal"
this man is naturally strong...he could build a proper muscular body ig he put his mind to it...then he can claim hes the best.
Pretty good videos but I Wish it would've focused more on CrossFit and more of his workouts rather than his music, first face tattoos and if he likes his phone or not.

Wow! Some of these people really love to hate. I think y'all are mad 'cause your friends are sorry and you're broke. Keep it up Mr. Ross. I hope you stick with RossFit and reap all the benefits!
Best role model for crossfiters - said no one ever
Quietly theres just a glock chilling at 19:03
The fact that he's active & taking care of his body, in this regard, is cool. I respect him for it!!!
Props to crossfit for keeping this video close to the truth. Weed and training are part of rick ross lifestyle. So I applaud the channel for showing that in the video.
This video has as many views as it has subscribers. Looks like CrossFit is doing something right.
I like this guy a lot more than I did prior to watching this video. You gotta respect a guy for trying to better himself, physically or in any way. I hope he's this chill on an everyday basis, too. That'd be mad dope. Big ups, Rause.

I saw him on ESPN a few weeks ago and it seemed like he lost some weight and then I remembered this video... So good for him.
+Brent W if that is true then good for him. but i still think his "music" is the death of all things art related.
two things I love coming together........legendar
*legendary
Ross is doing his thing props to him.... but why are so many people upset that he smokes??? Weed is perfectly harmless.....the guy changed his lifestyle nonetheless
People more focused on that one joint than anything else.

Good editing. One clean and push up at a time looped for awesome effect. Good for Rick Ross. I hope he kept working out. He should be a beast by now.
He dropped a fuck load of weight, good for him man!
Once he leans out completely, he can start putting on that bulk muscle and get swole!
Its good to see Rick Ross putting in work. Proud of ya boss
Much respect to Rick Ross for the hard work. Keep it up!
3:30 Was banking on him saying "Shout out to all the pear"
Where do I get one of these rossfit shirts?

Smoke a joint & Crossfit? Big NO.
100% he did it for the look, he took like 1 or 2 small hits.
Crossfit = no
Lifting weights = fuck yeah

freeway rick ross, the one and only. pay respects to the original
Shoutout to all the pear.
Im glad RR is trying to get in shape. It annoys me when pple bash others who are trying to get in shape but more power to him
I'm gonna take it for what it is a man who was well into 300lbs on the scale decided to make a few huge changes and lose a lot of weight as far as it being Rick Ross and everything I'm not offended by it....... Most times he's talking about drugs and material things but for once he is doing a little positive even if he is smoking a blunt it's a start on the right direction wasn't expecting perfection from a man like Ross and props to Garret for going and doing his job he could have easily fallen into the bs
I totally agree with you. People are so quick to judge, when they live in glass houses.
I hope he performs at the 2015 games
Wtf does the pistol in cross fit have to do with cross fit? Come on Ross, there's the streets but then to get away from the streets there's the gym. Damn
the dude was never in the streets he was a jail po po police
Foreal! I'm tired of seeing a gun in everything today, birthday cakes, gyms, clothes, songs, haircuts, tattoos, toys etc...
DON FETUCCINI well the cake wouldnt taste so good with a gun in it and this isn't a gym but this guy's back yard. educate yourself about how mechanical objects work and they wont be so scary
Cashious Clayy pistol squats
"Check the scoreboard...yeah thats right" Rick Ross the boss!
Was that THE Dave Castro working out? Not sure I've ever witnessed such a thing! Love it!
19:03 nice little GLOCK with an extended mag. I feel you ROSSfit

Congratulations to him for making changes in his life...
You all need to stop hating and take it for what it is...
A high profile rapper who is using his celebrity to inspire people to exercise and live better lives...
OMG! Where can I get that T-shirt ? :D
seeing someone push that last rep giving it all. They get respect.
I got respect for Rick Ross for doing this
Great to see CrossFit linking up with big names and looking to promote the lifestyle to a new crew who can definitely benefit from it!
dear buddy, long time no see, do you remember me?
CrossFit® Is there anywhere we can buy the Rossfit t-shirt? Thanks!
Everyone to busy worrying about the negatives instead of the positives. The man is bettering his life and everyone should be supporting him. If Ross can do it literally anyone can. If I was sitting on over $100M I would be smoking weed on camera too.
I was looking at the watch that the guy from Crossfit is wearing. It's an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch and it costs more than 30,000 dollars son
+Onurdegifitness ... K
SGfamilies It's my dreamwatch doe
+Onurdegifitness Good eye.
Props for this video Crossfit!
I find it HILARIOUS that they show Rick Ross, the hard drug-dealing, thug killing BOSS, doing cross fit and eating kale. Good for him, but still HILARIOUS!
I like this a lot this was super cool of you guys to do
is that a really small water bottle or is that a regular size one?
I see reebok didn't supply him with any sports bras
Damn....
A true moment of realism at 10:05 He drops the act and is just real!
respect for getting in shape !

I was gonna talk shit about him but then I saw him working out in the end, and yes Respect for the big guy!
I respect the Boss so much here. Hes working hard and it shows. A man has to respect what this man is doing to trim down. This is why hes super successful. He works hard.
You can definitely incorporate weed and fitness together. It's the best.
The way to go ross .health means everything.
Officer Ricky puttin' in dat work!
