I had to fly to Dubai to save my company

What is going on, guys? Welcome to today's video. I kind of have a whisper as there's a few family staying in the villa at the moment, and we are about to jet off to Dubai. Super random trip, but also a very important trip. Taxi's nearly here now. We're going to Malaga Airport. Keep watching, I'll explain to you why we're going to Dubai in the summer. So let's get into the vlog. All right, so just about to board the flight. It's a nice big 737, so pretty excited about that. This is my first time flying with Etihad since I think I went to Australia. I also flew business then, so let's see if it has improved whatsoever. Alright, so it looks like pretty empty flight anyways. These are the new seats as well. Also very nice. I haven't ate today, so I'm looking forward to breakfast, which is also very nice. Little bathroom review. Pretty standard, pretty solid. We got a little full-length mirror action going on here. You know, I like it. If it's nice. We're just about to take off now. To be honest, I'm absolutely starving now. I'm looking forward to meal 1. And yeah, I'm going to kick back, relax, and really just like enjoy this flight, as it's actually my first time flying business since like pre-COVID. 7-hour flight to Abu Dhabi done. Very easy. Don't want to say And it's always the case with a direct business flight. I'm just like, keep it going. I'm watching movies, chilling out.

It's always a good time.

We have made it to the apartment we're staying in. This is like a Grind apartment. We got Seimi over here at this battle station. Like, look at this. I'm feeling right at home. We got like speakers, box lights, everything. Someone that you've probably seen on the channel before, Adam Power. We did the event together in Marbella, would have been like maybe like 4 or 5 videos ago, not too long. Uh, he is in Marbella now, I'm here, so he said just stay in his room. So look at this, absolutely perfect spot. And then out here, check these views. This is, this is ridiculous, to be honest. Oh, what the hell? If that doesn't pump you up to work harder, like just the energy, like think of all the, how much it would have taken to build all this shit, like think about it, all the money circulating here, it's absolutely nuts. Like, if that doesn't fire you up to work harder, I don't know what will. And that's one thing about Dubai, if you do go here, you end up just meeting well-to-do people, you end up working harder. So I always feel a good energy when I go here. So I'm super dehydrated, but thankfully this is like— there's like a supplement shop behind me pretty much, so I'm just gonna nerd out and like take some electrolytes. What else we got? Some collagen peptides. I'm just gonna throw a little bit of everything into a shaker. I just had a nice shower there as well, So I'm gonna wrap things up here. I'll probably see you guys in the gym tomorrow, maybe Binus or TKMA, whatever it is. So we'll continue on the vlog tomorrow. Good morning. So we're here in Dubai in Adam's home office. Super cool. Let me show you. We got a whiteboard, we got the Rode mic here, we got that great lighting coming in this way, making me look all fresh and not jet lagged. The reason why I'm here is for some business reasons, but that is very, very vague. But if you have been kind of watching the podcast, especially the one I did, me Mike, you'll know that one of my companies is actually set up here in Dubai. I'm learning how to manage my money better. Now, the banking in Dubai is great for obvious reasons. There's a lot of incentives. I'll leave a link below of the company that I use to set everything up, and on that landing page it goes through all the reasons that if you're an online entrepreneur that you should set up here. But one of the negatives is if you lose a bank card, if you need a new SIM card, anything you have to be here in person to sort it out. So I need to get a new SIM card as I got the incorrect one last time. I got like a 30-day tourist one. I need one that is like year-round. So that's the first thing we're gonna do. I'm gonna go off to the mall now. I'm just gonna walk over there because we're on the marina. I want to get my new SIM card. When I get that, I have to do my two-factor password and I'll get into my banking app. Then I can order a new bank card, go from there. But it all begins with the SIM card, which is, is crazy, but it is what it is. And I'm happy to be here anyways as I have to spend a Men's time in Dubai. So look, we're killing two birds with one stone. But so this is the spot anyways. I haven't ate today, I just woke up, we did a sauna and a little bit of a swim. Gonna lift weights probably around like 2 or 3 PM today. My first impressions is it is not as hot as people have made it out to be in the summer. I think people will just like, like complaining about Dubai or something in some ways. But that's the plan for today. Outfit is we got white Alphalete AirTek cutoff tee, we got the mesh shorts, these are in light grey. And that's the fit for the day. You know, we wear gym gear 90% of the time. So, all right, let's get it. Let's have a productive day. All right guys, so we're here in the Emirates Mall, uh, one of them anyways. This is the one at the marina, and I just walked here from the apartment and the weather's fine. Like, it's absolutely fine. It's like the same as Marbella, just more humid. But now we are going to get our SIM card. We're going to get the correct one this time. The only way you can get a SIM card is if you have an Emirates ID and you go here in person. So here's eti salad. Now I might try a few different ones, but let's go have a chat with these guys. Very, very productive day. We got everything sorted. The SIM card, they were able to give me my old phone number so I could log into my bank accounts and everything. And oh my God, today was just the relief of getting just on top of everything. Now we're back, uh, just get a little pre-workout meal in. So of course, of course we've got to get the Ghost, and they stock it everywhere here. We're having some Ghost for some electrolytes, some watermelon to get that pump, to get that L-citrulline into our bodies. And then I'm also gonna do a little ginger shot as well, just to give me that health kick. So I'm gonna do this now. And Jamie, what gym we going to? TK MMA. TK MMA. This is the gym that I trained in probably the most last time. It's the one on the roof. You have seen it before. So really good, really good equipment, especially like on the inside section. So we're gonna go off there now and Try, try make some gains. Try pump up these pathetic delts. You're a real man if you do a ginger shot and you don't make a face. Everyone's always like freaking out and I'm like, it's a freaking ginger shot. Yeah, that was a spicy one. All right, let's wash down with some pineapple. Mmm, oh my God, that was quality. And then this had all the ghost hydrations. The kiwi strawberry, probably my favorite. Second place, lemon lime. You're only able to get these in Marbella since last month, so I've been horsing them down. All right, that's it. That's gonna be pre-workout. It's like 4 PM, so not gonna do any caffeine. I would like to, but then I will not sleep tonight. So TK MMA push day, let's go. All right guys, we are here in TK MMA gym. We are doing a push day. Jamie is gonna start now with flies today. I'm like, yeah, there you go, get that warm-up, get that pump. So this is about our third set now. Oh my God, these grips, amazing. So we're gonna do a higher rep here. I'm at like 12, 12 reps, and then we get on to the pressing movement. So let's get into it. I feel we're coming back to life slowly. All right, let's go.

Intracarbs kicking in. Yeah, it's like it's the watermelon. Yeah, come on, 2 from here.

Last one, last one. Alright boys, so this is our 4th set. We're finishing off with a little drop set. So we're gonna drop down to 32. Just really slow, controlled, rep it out. And also, the shirt's tucked in. The shirt is tucked in. That means the workout really begins now.

One more, one more. One more, get to 6, Rob. Come on, big push. Join. That's it.

Dips out in the 40° heat. It's in the So finish off some triceps and then we're out of here. It's dinner time, so I'm gonna wrap today's vlog up. This vlog's been going on for like 3 days. Top is off, looking pretty soft after eating about like, you know, 6 of them steaks on the airplane. Let's pump it out, finish off some triceps. Gonna do some pushdowns here on this attachment with the 2 ropes. So the reason you see people doing this is so you get a bigger range of motion. A lot of people are just pumping it out here to really activate every head of the tricep. Almost bring it behind your body, okay? And you will, you will feel that pinch and you will actually visually see it as well. Oh, finishing up the workout right here. And just like, maybe it's because I'm doing my workout or just because like I had a good day today, I'm just feeling so grateful right now. And when I'm on a rooftop— this sounds funny— when I'm on a rooftop and I see some crazy views, I just think like this crazy adventure that I've been on, and I just get this like wave of euphoria. She got so grateful. I'm just like, what the hell, you know? So we're just about to finish things up now. I'm going to have a big, like, high protein meal. I got a lot of grams of protein I need to hit. So we're going to get something maybe here in the gym or like go somewhere on the marina. Solid workout, Jamie. How you feeling after that? Good, solid session. Look at these bad boys right here. Yeah, delts popping. We didn't even train delts. Evening time, training outdoors. Still don't think it's hot. We got to do comparisons. Okay, wait. So this was 150 grams of chicken. 200 grams of rice, 50-60 grams of veggies. Okay, okay, and that was €5? Not even, €4-something. What? Okay, man, TKMA ripped me off. This thing right here, so to be fair, I asked for like 300 grams of beef. It doesn't look better. So that is it, it doesn't look better. And then about 200 grams of potatoes, 50 grams of vegetables, €25. €25, stick euro. And I never know because it's in like dirhams, and then I get home and I like look at the conversion and I'm like, this is going to be the post-workout meal, it's going to be our dinner as well. Guys, I'm going to finish up today's vlog here. I hope you enjoyed it. I think we started off in Marbella, a lot happened. But see you guys the next one. Keep it real, I'm out here. Stay tuned for some more Dubai adventures. Peace.

Thank you.
