I'm Starting MMA | Visit To SBG

Good morning, YouTube. How are we doing? Been back from the tour a couple of days, and honestly, after I go traveling for a while, takes me a few days to just get back into routine and unpack and yeah, get settled in. But so today anyways, I'm gonna cook a light breakfast quickly, then we got to go off to Newbridge. I'm doing a little kind of event with Newbridge Silverware. I got a meeting, and then we are going to meet a few people from SB Gym and just kind of get prepared for Vegas. So either way, I just felt like vlogging today. So that's what I'm going to do. So sit back, relax, enjoy. Okay, so breakfast is going to be the usual: steak, eggs, and then we are doing up some chopped veggies there as well. I just realized I'm late, so let's get ready and go. So the plan for today is I'm going down to kind of like an event, or I don't know if it's an event or a meeting. It's in, uh, Newbridge. Newbridge Silverware is the company. Um, so yeah, I think there'll be a few familiar faces in there as well. Um, but I hope I'm not dressed too casual. I'm wearing an Alfie long sleeve and a pair of ripped jeans, but it's kind of what I always wear. So it's like, you know, what you see is what you get. Um, but so now I think it's about a 45-minute drive down to Kildare. All right, looking a little bit fresher. Also, let me know if you would like me to do a kind of like, not a get ready with me, but just all kind of like my skincare, you know, my hair products that I use. So we got like cologne here, there's hair products, wash bag. This is my tren here. Only joking, I keep that in the kitchen. This is actually tea whitener. Aftersun, I think that's a great moisturizer. Toothpaste. Um, you know, what I use for kind of shaving and everything. Comment down below if you'd like that, cuz I think looking after yourself goes hand in hand with fitness, you know? You wanna keep your body looking tidy, and then you wanna keep your skin looking tidy, your hair looking tidy. I think it goes hand in hand. Okay, made it to Newbridge. That was a rough ride down. It was like lashing rain, and I was driving behind one of those trucks carrying all the logs. It was like Final Destination. I was like, this is it, it's over, this is the end of the channel. Anyways, I'm late, let's go in. Gotta literally just vlog on this bad boy here. Everyone say hello, we're down in Newbridge, Silverware. I'm giving you some vlogging tutorials here. So we're about to sit down and have a nice little tea party. As you can see, yeah, this one loves a curry. Even at 9 AM, she is just curry woman. But so yeah, very, very manly setup here. I'm right at home. Okay, so check this out for willpower, okay? Look what gets placed right in front of me. I'm literally like, Vegas in 2 days, Vegas in 2 days. Motivation levels are high.

I thought moms were bad, but Rob Lipsett—

I'm a light sleeper.

This was the one that she wore as Hollywood Lightly, you know, like the pearls and that in the back. And it went up to €607,000, I'd say, at which stage William probably collapsed on the floor. I'm not sure, but anyway.

And you know what? That's your normal one? Yeah. Straight up. And there we go. What did you make? Um, it is a nice piece of metal with a dent in it. You can always get a job in a factory if the YouTube thing fails. Nailed it! So we—

yeah, yeah, we got loads of presents.

Exactly. We're finished in Newbridge. We got like a tour of the place and we got to pick out some stuff that we liked.

I got a coffee cup.

Yeah, nice. This is what Roz came for. Uh, I actually got some cufflinks and look they embroidered our L on them.

Yeah, because they can sew into silver.

Okay, engraved is the word that I'm looking for.

And he got L or— so he knows his right from left.

Yeah, that was it. I was gonna get like one or and then one L, but then that would just look so stupid because I'm gonna be on the right.

Wrong.

Yeah, I'm like right and left. So they're gonna be perfect for Vegas. Then I also got— you got like a bracelet as well? Yeah. So there we go.

You didn't get that embroidered?

I know, damn, I should have.

I know. What would you have gotten it though?

Something like LF Army. Yeah, LF Army, keep it real. Something like that. I will. What did you get?

Um, oh God, I got loads of shit. I actually can't even go through it. Loads of people were being really like— they were writing like 3 or 4 things. I was like, on my list there was like 10.

No way! The coffee cup is the main thing.

I fleeced the place.

Yeah, yeah. All right, okay, so now we are going to Raw Gym because Roz is doing the personal trainer course in Raw Gym, Raw Academy. So we're getting her kind of— and we're gonna do leg day. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, she's gonna, she's gonna ace squat me. Alright, so on with the day. Okay, so I'm after dropping Roz off at Raw Gym. She's gonna get a session in there and she's also gonna just talk to lads about the course. Again, she's like one of the biggest kind of fitness and food bloggers or Instagrammers, whatever, in Ireland. So if that's you or that's something you want to kind of aspire to, having a personal trainer qualification is definitely gonna help that as well. So the link and the info for that is always in the description box, and it's the Level 3 Register of Exercise Professionals, that certification you get. But now it is lunchtime, okay? So I'm having a NutriQuik, and this is what I do, okay? So I get the meal, which in this case is like chicken breast, parsnips, and sweet potato, and then I put it on top of a salad to make it a bigger meal. Food volume— I am the king of food volume. There we go. Also add some chickpeas as well because fiber. It is also that time of the month where my MyProtein delivery arrives. Usually on a Monday, so I'm gonna crack this open quickly. So we got some clothes: men's charcoal t-shirts, men's core t-shirts, men's core t-shirt in black, and men's core t-shirt in white. I take a medium in pretty much everything. Then here we got a lot of water enhancers. This is what I use to flavor my water because I drink a lot of water and it can get boring sometimes. These are my favorite protein bars. So we got the Probar Lead caramel hazelnut and toffee vanilla. I get lots of them, especially when I've got some travel coming up. They're really handy to have on the plane. Definitely my favorite protein bars. Protein pancake mix. You know I like my protein pancakes. Saw this and I was like, okay, I'll give it a go. Protein ice cream mix. I think you like, you mix that with a small bit of water and milk, then you freeze it. This stuff that I love, it's the high protein chocolate. If you like dark chocolate, definitely give this a try. Some ZMAs, something I take before bed. Powdered peanut butter. This is just new to the site. Very excited to try this. Sugar-free syrup. Some mega green tea extract. I like taking that in the morning. And then got some more green tea extract too. So that is pretty much it. Love it. Thank you, Myprotein. If you have any questions about anything from Myprotein, comment down below and I will reply. Basically, we are going into SBG, which is Straight Blast Gym, Conor McGregor's gym that he trains at. It's like the home of MMA in Ireland. And so I'm meeting the owner of NutriQuik, and it's the company that does my meal prep and that is going to start doing Raw Gym's. And we're going to talk about doing SBG's meal prep as well. That's who I'm also going to Vegas with. I don't know what that means. What are you talking about, Siri? Why are you ruining my YouTube video? So we're going to talk about doing their meal prep as well, and that's who I'm also going to Vegas with. So we're going to go in here now, just have a chat and do a bit of networking. That's it. Hey, what's up guys? You well?

This is just the gym part of it. Yeah, what they're getting done is a whole top floor for breakfast. You know, there's stuff just going to pop behind you. This, um, part in here is going to have another second floor with a lot of weights.

It is so much bigger than I thought it was. Look at that big badass ring, boxing ring over there. Got all the flags, got some graffiti up there too. Very cool. Makes me want to start doing MMA. I know I get my ass kicked, but everyone has to start somewhere, right? All right, so we're here in the SBG meeting room. We're just waiting on the guys to show up, but in the meanwhile, I think I'll just go cracking myself. European Union champion, yeah, just like that. No disrespect. That meeting went really well. I was just chatting with the head coaches of SBG, and we were basically just like having a good conversation, a good chat, and, uh, kind of planning this weekend. So that's who I'm going to be rolling with, no better people, and it's gonna be such a fun weekend. Like, we're so excited. And, you know, okay, a lot of times with networking, and obviously I'm so heavily involved with Raw Gym, and SBG is like the leader in MMA. And a lot of times when people are setting out in the world of business, they look at, you know, other companies or other similar brands as competitors. And you can look at it in that way, and you can look at it in the sense that in order for you to win, someone else has to lose. And I don't like that. I always say there's plenty of room at the top, and it's always great to collaborate. And so we were talking about, you know, they're doing up gym. They'd love to get me involved as well, push me through their channels, and then we do the same. So they were saying, they're like, you know, you would have access to the best coaches in the country. Imagine I started MMA. I think that would make some really good content for this channel. Comment down below what you think. And yeah, I'd have some pretty sick coaches in SBG. And yeah, I think it'd be cool. So anyways, um, that is that. Now I'm about to go in and hit a workout in Raw. It is— what time is it? It's quarter to 5, so I'm dying to hit a session. It's been a long day, been driving around a lot, so I'm excited to get this done. Today is a pull day— back, biceps, traps. Let's go! Workout done. I'm just gonna leave that workout footage raw. I'm gonna edit it. Sometimes do fancy edits, sometimes do commentaries. I'm just gonna leave that one the way it is. I'm gonna finish up this vlog here because I'm just gonna go home, get dinner. Uh, I might vlog tomorrow because I'm going suit shopping, and if not, I'll see you guys in Vegas. So thank you for watching. Until the next time, keep it real. So I'm just about to head to sleep. It has gone Just past 11. By the way, T-Roc watches are the watches I'm wearing these days. But what I want to talk about is I just watched the Alphaleap video and it just brought back great memories of the tour. And it's just such a, such a nice way. It's such a nice thing to watch before going to sleep. And I often recommend at the end of your day, just before you go to sleep, list out the things you're grateful for. List out the things you're grateful for that day. Or even just do something or watch something that puts you in a good mood so you go to sleep in a good mood. Um, so that's definitely put me in a good mood, and I'm gonna link the video down below so you guys can check it out, and I highly recommend checking it out. And then Beale absolutely killed it, and the editing, the camera work, everything's insane. So now I'm gonna finish up the video. Thank you for watching. I'll see you in the next one. Keep it real. Peace.
