Eating EPIC Pancakes In Amsterdam

Welcome to today's vlog. So, really fun night last night in Amsterdam. We got the full, full Amsterdam experience, and the good part is not even hungover or anything today. Just feeling grand. We just had more of like a fun night instead of like drinking loads, which I think is way better. So I just woke up there, got a little bit of breakfast downstairs. I forgot to vlog it, but this is what I got. It was a very Instagrammable yogurt bowl. So I've checked out the hotel gym. It is not great, but I'm gonna see what I can do and even just go walk as well to get in some cardio. So let's go and have an epic day. That down there is where I sat and had breakfast. It was very nice. All right, not too bad. A bit of cardio, nice view, some boats at this machine here. All right, so not the best, but it's empty and we can definitely pull something together here. Okay, so finishing off this workout with some curls. And my advice for hotel workouts when you don't have weight that's heavy enough is kind of make it harder for yourself. So for example, add in more tension, a slower negative rep, a pause rep, reps. So for example, that's what I'm doing here. I'm making these 14s really work for me. So I'm going to use really strict form as well. Bring it right up, contract, hold, and then lower down slowly. So I'm doing 4 sets of 12 on them, and that was my typical kind of rep scheme for this workout. So I'm going to finish things up here, and then apparently we're going to go get some pancakes before the meetup. Alright, so meetup is about to get underway in about an hour, so we need to eat beforehand. So we're going to this crazy pancake place. It's called Mook Pancakes. We saw some pictures, it looks epic. So we're going to fuel up here and then we are going to get this meetup done. Alright people, so look at the pancake menu. We got the Man Cake, the Big Papa, the Soul Flare. Some of these names are amazing, but I think I'm going to go for the Blue Magic Deluxe. Looks like a solid bet. Oh my God. Blue Magic Deluxe? Yes, Blue Magic Deluxe. Oh my God. Yes. Thank you. Oh my goodness, that is amazing. Okay, um, first bite. Wow, way better than the protein pancakes that I make. Yeah, yeah, it's hockey pucks. Okay, so we got strawberries, bananas, bacon, maple syrup, and melted peanut butter. Okay, right, so you got to get a little bit of everything in. Yeah, okay. Oh my God, this food porn! Look at that, the blueberry in there. What do you think about the Amsterdam experience, Rob? I need this regularly. I knew this is what you guys needed. Thank you. You're welcome. That is amazing. That is amazing. Now we can get a day started. Yes. Yes. How we feeling? Excited. Excited? Excited.

Excited.

Freaking excited. Yes. We started off right. Now Amsterdam, I think there are gonna be less people, but it's still gonna be— It's gonna be good. It's gonna be an awesome turn up, yeah. It'll be a good time.

So if you talk to every, if you have 500 people show up, and you talk to everybody for 2 minutes, that's 1,000 minutes. You can do the math, and that's a lot of hours. We have 3 hours, and we're trying to wrap up in 3 hours, and yeah. And the only, like, people are like, oh, well you should just stay there all day, but the thing is, like, after X amount of time, It sucks for your energy and your focus, so you start like, you're not there, and that's a look that none of us want to give to the people that support, you know? It's just not, if you can't give your 100, it's just, yeah.

It's not a good feeling. We got 3, 3 and a half hours. I think I'm all the way to meet you.

Maybe 4 hours. And then that's when it, yeah, we need to wrap it up. So I don't know how we're gonna wrap it up if we don't have organizers to help push through the line, so yeah.

Wow, look how nice this park is. So we just made it to the park now. It looks so nice. Like, Amsterdam— I haven't even given my thoughts on Amsterdam yet. One of the most beautiful places I've been to. We got some good weather. The people are so happy. I wonder why. So yeah, here it is now. We are gonna go to the meetup and see what is gonna go down. We don't know how this is gonna go, and it's definitely the most unorganized meetup we've done and definitely the most casual. But hey, that could be a good thing. Okay, so we got some Alfaly henna tattoos here. Gonna have to clickbait this video and just be like, we got Alfaly tattoos because It's true. It's kind of true. Like, move it or no? Oh man, that's hilarious. Okay, meetup done. Really quick update on the vlog. Now I've got to nip off a little bit early because I've got a vlog to upload. Haven't uploaded in ages, and that is something that I absolutely hate, okay? Like, I still buzz off when I click publish on a YouTube video, which is when you know you're passionate about something. So I'm gonna go home, put some finishing edits to the vlog, I'm gonna upload it and meet the rest later. And a quick note on the meetup, so like blown away by the amount of people like from, you know, countries like that aren't even English-speaking countries that watch my videos. Like, it's just super nice, and it's crazy that we've got this like global community. So unreal feeling. Okay people, so just uploading a YouTube video, it is about to go live, and Emily, the kind soul, just brought me some dinner. So it's gonna be a burrito bowl. It's like chicken, pico de gallo, avocado. Mmm, right, dig into this, and then we're gonna meet up with everyone, and then we're going on our final night out in Amsterdam. It's gonna be a big one. We're in London in the Airbnb, so I'm gonna give you a quick house tour, and then we're gonna meet up with the rest. Walk out here, bathroom in there. It's kind of like an old house in Camden, but it's clean and it does the job. There's a living area, there's a kitchen, and it's weird, it's kind of like two houses in one. Hey, there he is! Good timing! And then we got the rest in here. Morning, guys! All right, next up is Whole Foods for breakfast. We got Emily and Christian here. Oh, this looks— yeah. Okay, so we're finally getting the workout here at Soho Gyms. It's Emily, Christian, and myself, so let's go in, do what we can do. We were just talking, you know, what type of workout we're gonna do today, and I've mentioned on this channel before that when we're traveling, we're not getting to the gym as much. I do like upper, lower, or full body, just get in as much frequency as possible. So we're doing chest movement, a back movement, a shoulder movement, and then we're gonna go on to some isolation work and probably hit some legs too. So let's do it. Legs crossed, your hands are put in place. Inside, I want to feel the love that we raised. And you know nothing is ever right, right, right. Alright people, so workout done. I'm so glad we got that out of the way. Feel 100 times better. So we're back in the Airbnb and check out what I am about to have. Emily— okay, right, Emily is so good. She's actually dedicated. Me and Christian, we just partake in fitness part-time. Time here and there. Uh, so Emily brought some protein. I got Greek yogurt. Funnily enough, like, it's so perfect, okay? The protein flavor is ice cream sandwich, so mix in really well. Put some strawberries on top of that too. So I'm gonna chill here for a bit, then I'm gonna go to the meetup. And this is definitely going to be a big one because something like 35% of my audience is from the UK, and a huge, huge chunk of that is from London. You can actually go into your analytics and see like which city everyone's from, so it's crazy. So I expect a big turnout. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Okay, so it is meetup time. We're all just getting ready, about to order an Uber and make our way to Speaker's Corner. That is the venue. So we're getting kind of lucky with the weather. It was meant to rain. Thankfully it's not, so we're just kind of praying it holds up. But we had a look at the venue and it's got like an arch, so if worse comes to worse, we just go in there and that's where we can take photos and hang out. So either way, this is gonna be a big turnout. We're all really excited and let's see how it goes. We've arrived. We are in the Center of London, just about to walk up to Speaker's Corner. And so now, this is always the exciting part when you go up and you see turnout and you just get pumped up to meet everyone. So it's so cool meeting people that watch your videos in person. That's reminding you why you do it. Okay, so we were looking for everyone and we just saw a massive crowd. Yeah, that's the place. Oh yeah. Oh wow. Oh, it's a big crowd. Oh my God, here we go! What's up everyone? Oh my God, crazy! Okay, time to off the vlog, switch off and meet everyone, have a bit of fun, right guys? Say hello! What a turnout, what a turnout! That is the London meetup done. I have to say, that was one of the most enjoyable meetups we've done because not only was everyone just like really nice and really chilled, and the day just went really fast, and it didn't rain. Like, shocker, it didn't rain. So guys, what did you think? Amazing. Yeah, successful day. So now we are going to celebrate with a Nando's, and it's definitely worth celebrating because honestly, that just went perfectly. So celebratory Nando's Do you have enough protein there?

There's never enough protein.

Oh, bro, bro. All right, so I went for quinoa— no, yeah, quinoa salad, 2 butterfly chicken, and then I got spicy potato wedges on the way. Gonna enjoy this now. Chat to you later. All right, people, so that wraps up London. The reason I'm here at the middle of the night finishing up today's vlog is because we got a flight again really, really early. Whoever's booking these flights just must not want us to sleep. Becca! But anyways, look, it's fine, we're gonna go with it. So we got like a lot of transfers as well tomorrow. So our flight's at 6 AM, so that means leaving here like at at least 3 AM to get there, 4 AM. We're gonna get it done, okay? So the next stop on this amazing tour is New York City, one of the greatest cities in the whole wide world. So we're gonna go there, we're gonna smash it, we're also gonna have a couple of new YouTubers, new athletes there. It's gonna be a lot of fun. A few old familiar faces too. So wrapping up this vlog, and I'll see you guys in New York. Keep it real.
