The project nearly didn\u2019t make it online after the trainer involved, Coach Wall, died during filming, but the video has since racked up millions of views.<\/p>\n<p>Article continues after ad<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full mb-4 text-body-6 md:text-body-5 font-body dark:text-neutral-white external:text-custom-content-text external:dark:text-custom-content-text\">Now, MrBeast says he\u2019s preparing something similar. In a video posted to his MrBeast 2 channel on August 17, he told viewers that they can comment on the upload for a chance to be included in the upcoming project.<\/p>\n<p>MrBeast\u2019s next experiment<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full mb-4 text-body-6 md:text-body-5 font-body dark:text-neutral-white external:text-custom-content-text external:dark:text-custom-content-text\">While details remain scarce, the YouTuber has framed the new challenge as a follow-up to Majd\u2019s transformation. In the video, Majd asked MrBeast a series of questions regarding his video and if Donaldson would be interested in doing it again. <\/p>\n<p>Article continues after ad<\/p>\n<p>Article continues after ad<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full mb-4 text-body-6 md:text-body-5 font-body dark:text-neutral-white external:text-custom-content-text external:dark:text-custom-content-text\">\u201cYeah, actually we are,\u201d Jimmy said. \u201cLeave a comment down below if you wanna be in a video like Majd.

Those things, paired with the $400K given to Majd, made the video skyrocket in cost.<\/p>\n<p>Article continues after ad<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full mb-4 text-body-6 md:text-body-5 font-body dark:text-neutral-white external:text-custom-content-text external:dark:text-custom-content-text\">This video comes just days after MrBeast partnered with <a class=\"hover:text-vertical-primary underline decoration-2 underline-offset-4 decoration-vertical-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dexerto.com\/kick\/mrbeast-adin-ross-xqc-break-guinness-world-record-by-raising-12m-for-teamwater-3238888\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Adin Ross and xQc to live stream on Kick<\/a> until they reached $12M raised for TeamWater, which <a class=\"hover:text-vertical-primary underline decoration-2 underline-offset-4 decoration-vertical-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dexerto.com\/youtube\/mrbeast-mark-rober-launch-teamwater-to-raise-40-million-for-clean-water-access-3233193\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donaldson launched earlier in August<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson has revealed plans for another extreme fitness challenge just two months after releasing his viral&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92615,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[337,97],"class_list":["post-92614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-fitness","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
