Date Night in Dubai

We are in Dubai and we are starting off the week in arguably one of the best gyms on the planet. There's 3 places on the earth with an elite level gym scene. It's Marbella, Miami, and Dubai. And this is probably the best gym in Dubai. So it's BNews— Anis BNews Gym. I'm not sure how to pronounce it. We're about to go in now. I haven't been here in years. I've seen online they've made some big improvements, so I'm super excited. I'm meant to be doing a push workout, but I just know when I go to a new gym, for me it's like a playground. I just go in there and I'm just trying out every machine. So let's see how get on, who we meet, and what we get up to, and how sick this pump is going to be. So big day today. We also got a podcast straight afterwards, a few meetings too, and we want to go to the Dubai Mall as well. So big Dubai day, let's get it! The first character we have met today is none other than Joss Mooney. Yes guys, how's it going? Last time you were on this channel, you were squatting like 160 kg in Elements. Yeah, remember, you nearly like killed yourself. That's why I don't squat I don't squat anymore, obviously, because I need fucking knee bands now. That was the last footage of Josh squatting ever. But today we're hitting a push day. Like I said, there's just so many contraptions here I'm excited to try out. So we're actually starting out on this machine right here. So it's a flat machine press. Really good lying, kind of plain and simple. Really good movement. Gonna get stuck into it. All right, so second set, first working set. See what we've got going on. On here. So obviously I got like a good few different gym memberships in Marbella, you know, I think 5 in total as I said in the last video. But just nothing beats a brand new training atmosphere to just get you fired up. It's just something I don't get to feel too often. And oh my God, especially when you haven't been somewhere in years, you see all the new machines, new people, new atmosphere. Super motivating. I'm going to make 3 sets in total on this. I'm going to stay on this weight and we're going to see what else we can find. Unbelievable. My tip with them, okay, a lot of people, they don't adjust the seat to the right level and they end up involving their shoulders a lot. So bring it right down here, almost like you're hitting the lower pec. Just place all the emphasis on the chest instead of hurting your shoulders. Alright, this machine is just absolutely insane. It is an incline press and you like sit into it like a race car and the movement, it just seems so smooth. So let's go here. You also can do a little higher grip as well. I'm gonna go down here. Okay, look at this. It is like a pyramid. It just looks like a toy. I'm just in a playground. Oh my God. Okay, no, what? There's, there's brakes. Like, what is this? Okay, okay, so you unhook these. So it's like converging shoulder press. Oh no, that feels— that is therapy. Oh. That is unbelievable. Wow. All right, so we're gonna do some lateral raises. So let's see how we're doing here. Oh, that feels good. So we're gonna do them seated upright, hit the medial delts, and then we're also going to superset it with rear delts. So straight away, just bend over and into rear delts. Nice when you keep it all into one machine, saves a lot of time and makes it a true set. All right guys, so that is a wrap today. 3 compounds, a few isolations. We're in a bit of a rush because we've got to go do that podcast now. That's about a half an hour drive home. But oh my God, sometimes, you know, when I go somewhere, I'm like, am I meant to be here? Is this the place for me? But the energy here is amazing. Met so many people that I know. Got invited to a business event here in Dubai. Got invited to a business event in Marbella. I'm actually going to speak at it now. Just the networking, the gym, the gym is a place to be. Trust me on that. That's where you meet like-minded individuals, outgoing individuals. Energy, let's go. All right, so today's post-workout meal is in the car. We got some chicken, rice, fajita vegetables. Looks absolutely delicious. Give this a little taste. So good. So we've got a driver for the week, and a lot of people you've probably seen online, they say if your time is worth X amount per hour, it's more profitable for you to get a driver because you can multitask. You can do emails, you can do phone calls, you can eat your post-workout meal, whatever you like, because you're giving yourself an extra hour in the day that you can do other things that need to be attended to. So pretty interesting. I'll let you guys know my experience by the end of the week, but so far it's been absolutely worth it. So we're going to have this now. Uh, we're going to go back up to the apartment, do a really quick turnaround as the podcast is like in 40 minutes. Get changed, and then thankfully the podcast is in Business Bay where we're staying. So we're going to go straight over and it's with someone who's big on Twitter. His name's Mr. Overpaid. It's going to be all about cash money when in Dubai. So I'll see you guys then. All right, people. So quick turnaround time, but to head out the door, Dubai really is as expensive as people make it out to be. I've spent €150 and it is like 11:00. The gym day passes were €50 each, and then those meals were like €20 each or something. Energy drink, €5 each. Please God help me this month. But this t-shirt is from Icon Amsterdam. If you guys want to help me out a little bit, code Lipsett at checkout, get you about 20% off. So wearing the Icon shirt, Prada pants, and Hoka runners. So about to head out the door now and do this podcast. Productive day. All right guys, podcast done. Just under 2 hours with Hassan here. It's going to be live on the little podcast section on the YouTube app very, very soon. How'd that go? My favorite podcast I've ever done so far. Rob's a super good speaker, asks very good questions, very entertaining. The energy is good. Sometimes when you open a podcast, people aren't as lively as Rob Lipsett. So my favorite podcast ever. Watch this video, you will learn a lot. Boom, there you go, the real deal, baby. Right now we're gonna go back to the apartment, chill out for a little bit, and carry on with the day. All right, people, so we're back from the podcast. I always feel so good after doing a podcast. Gym, podcast, that's like my ideal day. Feeling productive, and that's the key to happiness. So we're celebrating with a big bowl of oats. We have oats peanut butter, scoop of whey, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes. So very nutrient-dense, very flavorsome, absolutely delicious. Pretty high calorie as well, you know, don't be fooled. That's one of the mistakes I used to make so much when I was trying to cut down. I would eat like loads of this stuff, which is, of course, it looks very healthy, it sounds very healthy, it is very healthy. It's also very high in calories, especially with the seeds and peanut butter. So I'm gonna eat this now, and then I think we're gonna go to the Dubai Mall, shoot some content, we'll see. But either way, that's like the kind of main things that I need to get done today. I have a good few calls, but So not going to vlog that. Alright, the perfect way to end today. We are going to one of the 8 Wonders of the World, the Dubai Mall. You can see behind me, we've got the fish tank, or the aquarium as it's probably called. But we're going to go for a little walk around, get some food. I'm absolutely starving. Really in the mood for steak and just have a good time. What a perfect way to end the day. All right guys, so we are at a place called Doors and we saw it on Instagram. Somebody tagged in, the view looked amazing, and it lived up to the hype. So we walked in last minute and we got pretty much the best seat there. I don't know how we pulled off, but just a view and from the fountain, everything, the whole shopping center, the mall. Menu looks insane. We ordered sushi to start, some salad, and then some steak. So Very healthy meal as well, and I'm so excited for this. Just vibes immaculate. I'm going to have to try one of these on camera, the beef roll. Like, this just looks decadent. Okay. Oh my God, the dip! Got a bit of soy. You're not going to believe that. Truffle beef. That is next level. Whoa. Okay, so all the food came out. This looks decadent. We got the corn, potatoes, and our two steaks here. On the Coke Zeros, they don't serve alcohol here, which is great. It's a Monday, but this is just absolutely fantastic and a perfect way to finish up today's vlog. So guys, thank you so much for watching. Hope you enjoyed the Dubai vlogs. See you in the next one. Keep it real. Peace.
