Chapters
Alright people, welcome to the Bali vlog. First up is Seminyak. We are staying in this huge villa called Villa Kubu. I hope I'm saying that right. Either way, I'll link all their details below. This place is absolutely huge and it's just the two of us here. It has a large kitchen, private pool, comes with a stocked up fridge— major bonus points— two huge ensuite bedrooms, a sitting room, and my favorite part, which is the socializing area at the end of the garden. We're saying how much fun it would be to go there with a huge group of friends, but we still had a great time just ourselves. Big thank you to Nick from We Are Komodo who set this up. He was actually in last vlog, the Sydney vlog that I uploaded, if you're wondering who I'm talking about. Anyways, sit back, relax, enjoy the vlog. Let's get into a bit of Seminyak. Yo, what's going on guys? Welcome to the next day. So yesterday we just kind of settled in, unpacked, explored Seminyak a little bit, got pedicures, treated ourselves, and just chilled out. Okay, so today's the following day and we actually have a really busy and productive day. Uh, we're just getting some breakfast in now, but then after this, a few hours of work of editing that I got to get done now. So I'm just trying to, you know, get something to eat before before that, get it all done. Then after that, we're going around the whole island to a load of manufacturers for a little project that I'll fill you in on in a little bit. Hopefully we'll get that all done by like 5 or 6 and then wrap up with a nice dinner. But today is going to be super productive day, so give video a thumbs up and let's get into it. Today I learned that I can't drive a motorbike. I honestly thought I was such a badass rolling up and I was like, yeah, give me the motocross or give me the super Honda X300, okay? And Linda was like, are you sure you can drive this? Me, never driven a motorbike properly before in my life. As soon as it came to changing the gears, the thing was cutting out every second. So it was very demasculating, took a hit to my, to my man points, to my pride. I just went for the Scoopy, Scoopy Moped. That's actually the name, but actually the brand is called Scoopy. But either way, we got helmets with a GoPro mount. So now we are going on a road trip, and we're going to one of the manufacturers that we want to check out while we're here. Cuz you know, while we're here, it's amazing to be able to actually check out the factories in person. So we are going to go GoPro Vision now, transition, and we'll see you in the factory. So a lot of people will be asking, ah, Am I starting my own clothing line? And the answer of that is I have nothing set in stone. So the reason I'm here is one day I presume it is something I will do. I want to make these connections. As you know, I'm a strong believer in going out there, networking, and doing it whenever possible, be it LF merch or something completely different. I know these contacts are gonna be useful to have. Alright guys, so we just finished up in the factories there. So interesting, very productive, and big things coming for 2019. And now afterwards I was like Googling what's the closest gym because I need I need to get a workout in. It's been like 2 or 3 days, I don't feel myself, I don't feel right, okay? So this place called Gym Generation comes up. I step in, oh my God, it is literally the most old school gym you will ever come across in your life. Like, you cannot replicate this, okay? And like, this is my buzz, I just love this. I've warmed up and I'm already like covered in sweat, but look, take a look at it, take a look. Look at that, folks. So we are gonna hit some legs and abs, it's gonna be a lot of fun and I can't wait. Coming in 3, 2, 1, let's go! All right, check this out. Right, one thing I'm not much of a fan of is the toilets. I guarantee you, in the new Raw Gym that opens in Donnybrook, hopefully end of May, the toilets are going to be way better than this, right? Rate these toilets out of 10. Would you drop a deuce in there? All right, we're getting done. Let's go home. All right, people, so made it home safe and sound. Survived that traffic. It's actually— I actually like driving here. One of the most stressful places I've ever driven in before is Dubai. London, this is actually all right. Like, it looks hectic, but it's actually chilled and pretty straightforward. I was heading out tonight wearing some Alphalete some kind of like chino jogger pants, Alexander McQueen's, and we're going to a place called Strawberry Fields. Meant to be very nice. But yeah, I'm gonna finish up the vlog here. Thank you so much for watching. Perfect Bali day, you know, productive, gym, great day. And I'll see you in the next one. Keep it real, I'm out of here. Peace. The only wedding chapel in the world. Oh my God, it is beautiful. What's up guys, welcome to today's video. So we are getting a proper tour guide of Bali today and We are just seeing some beautiful sights before going to some cliffs and getting some amazing drone footage. So we met the nicest couple that are going to give us a tour around Uluwatu. So it's gonna be a really good travel vlog. I'm excited to get it started. Let's get into it, give video a thumbs up, and let's have a really good Bali day. So this is like a wedding spot that is currently being built, and it is meant to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. Wow! Oh my God, that is insane! We just checked into the Mulia in Nusa Dua, and we're in shock, okay? Like, wow, okay? You walk in, huge office space, big massive mirror, nice bit of art on the wall. Like, look at the size of the dressers, the walk-in wardrobe. Oh my God, so what a day this has been. We literally like got some epic drone shots, saw some crazy nice cliffs earlier on, and now we check into this. Like, I'm just feeling grateful is the only word that I have to describe, really. Like, just, just beyond grateful. And the toilet flicks up when you open the door! The toilet flicks up when you open the door! Grateful beyond words. It's kind of like grateful and aware how grateful and lucky I am as well. This is the bathroom as well. This is the bath that overlooks this beautiful view that we have out here. And then here's the beach bar and the beach down there too. So we'll be hitting that later. But oh my God, again, if the least I can do is link this place in the description box, like seriously, you need to check this out. Oh my God, we're gonna unpack and I don't know, I think I'm just gonna do some work here to be honest. Is this what I like to do? But yeah, so We'll give you guys a good look at the place later on. All right, so I'm gonna be completely honest and say that we just— we hit the— our heads hit that bed, okay, and we just fell asleep, right? Serious nap. I just woke up, and then I wake up and they bring us this, okay? That feel when they notice that you lift. Look at that, there's little emojis with weights doing bicep curls. Why isn't that a real emoji? That is the question. So now we are just gonna go get ready. I might go check out the hotel gym, just do like 30 minutes cardio. We're gonna get ready and apparently there's an amazing buffet. So yeah, I'm gonna get some food. Oh my God, they taste amazing. They actually taste amazing. I'm gonna eat. So I just ate the logo there. I'm gonna eat this little guy right here. Sorry, buddy. Mmm. I swear that's in my meal plan. All right, so we're just about to enter into the buffet. I just saw sushi and it's all you can eat. So I know this could completely derail the last month of Koh Phangan. Koh Phangan. No way. It's like a mini village. It is. It's honestly like a mini big village, as Linda just put it. This place is crazy. There's like loads of different restaurants around, but I think we're just going to go to the buffet one tonight. Like, oh my God, Linda, even look at this. Oh my God. Like, wow, so nice. There you go, there's some proteins. Apparently today is Indonesian Mother's Day, so happy Mother's Day to all you Indonesian mothers out there. Oh my God, Rob, taste it, taste it! It tastes like white chocolate. It's like white chocolate with pink chocolate dipped holiday Oreo lollipop. Go, we're about to have dinner, we're about to have dinner, we're about to have dinner. Mmm, beef goes. I started off really lean. I'm trying to like suppress my appetite before I go all in. But yeah, this is plate number 1. So we've got a lot of sushi, some tuna, chicken. Okay, plate number 2 is a little bit of everything. This is the last plate we're gonna do before sweet stuff, and we also got some vegetables. That makes it kind of sensible. Zooms in on boobs. In today's vlog, vlog. That is the most you're going to see of a gym. We just ate so much there. Yes, I did have the Oreo dipped in the pink white chocolate. I think that's what it was. But we're gonna pick up the vlog tomorrow, and I'm gonna go through a full workout because that is one of the best hotel gyms I've ever seen. So I'm wrapping things up here. I'll see you in the morning. Peace. I love you. Keep it real. Good morning, Nusa Dua. Oh my God, it is It's an insane day. And that's the age-old debate between Rob and Linda of what comes first, breakfast or workout. Okay, I like training fasted in the morning, just getting it over and done with. She likes eating before a workout. I generally— Lies. Anyways, comment down below if you prefer working out fasted in the morning or eating and training on a full stomach. It's all down to personal preference really. But I'll show you guys what we do anyways. And this is our first full day in this resort. It's absolutely amazing. So I'm delighted to take you guys along with me. So yeah, hit the thumbs up button and let's get into it. I need coffee. I can't start vlogging without coffee. I can't speak. Speak. I can't speak, lads. No, we are back here again and breakfast is even more epic. There's a waffle station over there. That's just like danger zone. Going for a pretty healthy breakfast. We have 2 chicken sausages, egg white omelette with loads of good stuff in it. Linda got the same plus bread, you badass. And then we got some fruit salads and some more bread. Linda snuck in the bread there. What's going on? And then some black coffee. Look, Linda made me do it, okay? She secretly wanted them. We're not eating till dinner, so whatever. Intermittent fasting just during the day. Alright people, workout done and dusted. Unbelievable hotel gym. Hammer Strength in a hotel gym, like, says it all really. But now it's time for everyone's favorite part of the vlog, it's physique update. On a serious note, we are week 4 into the cut and I've been traveling pretty much nonstop. So I'm happy with how things are going. You know, I'm all about living life to the utmost while still killing it in the gym and seeing results. But I'm home next week and that's when things are going to get nasty. Obviously Stringer is linked down below. Wearing a medium in everything Alpha Elite. Look at that detail. So there should hopefully be a good bit of difference from the very first coming out of cutting video that I put up. And like you can see a lot more kind of dryness and just a lot more details. And things should get pretty freaky towards the end, and then we might do something crazy like step on stage, do a photo shoot, something. But, uh, so I'm gonna get on with the rest of the day. And yeah, endorphins are flowing after that gym session. It's good to sweat, right? So I've left the resort because one thing it does not have is a barber. Uh, so I Google Maps Bali Barber Nusa Dua, found place, decent reviews. So next clip you're gonna see me look a little bit fresher. Okay, so excuse the abrupt ending, but this is going to be a two-part vlog. Next upload will be of what we got up to in Canggu— Canggu, I'm not sure how to pronounce it, so just stick with me. We also went to a very cool pool party that I vlogged in Seminyak. After that, we go straight into two body pair vlogs from Birmingham where not only did we have a great weekend with the Ghost family, but I actually gave a talk on stage with Max Tuning and Mike Rashid that I think will benefit a lot of people. So I cannot wait to put those live. As much as I love traveling and combining seeing the world with a healthy lifestyle, I love creating content even more. So honestly, it feels amazing just click upload on this video. I really hope you enjoyed the good vibes and got to see a bit more of what Bali is like. Until next time, keep it real. See you then. Peace.
