Oh, what's going on everyone? Good morning. So I'm making some protein oats, then we are going off to King's Gym for one of the last ever sessions in the UK. If you don't watch the news, I actually recommend you don't. Stay off it, you'll probably be happier. But if you do watch the news, you probably know that the UK, along with Ireland, has gone into lockdown again, and gyms are included in that lockdown. So I've got today, big session today, tomorrow morning, and then I'm fleeing the country. I'll go into a little bit more detail on that later in the video, but it is without a doubt for me the smart option to do. I'm not breaking any guidelines or anything. So yeah, I'll fill you in more on that later. But right now, we gotta eat some protein oats. And we're gonna get the day started. So yeah, a lot of admin to do today, a lot of busy stuff. Especially this month with Project X and everything launching, it's just, timing was not ideal, but we're gonna get through it and we're gonna make the best out of it. So give the video a thumbs up. Let's get into it. So first meal of the day, Scooper Ghost coconut ice cream. It's actually a great flavor. Oats, Muscle Food peanut butter. There's the finished product. So simple. And the coffee. Let's eat this and get on with the day. So Got some new Alphalete, excuse the bad lighting in here. Okay, so we got some new Alphalete. This is the Lactive Tee and I already know the material on it. I don't know if you can see that, it's insane. It's like proper training top. So I already know it's gonna be sick to put on. Oh, oh. Fresh, man. Feeling like Superman with this thing on. So that's sweet, went for navy shorts. Nike Air Pegasus, the Louis Armstrong specials. Got this bad boy today, and then I'm also gonna shoot this tracksuit top in the gym as well. So it's matching premium joggers and track top. So absolutely love them. You know I love a tracksuit. So right, gonna put this on now. Actually, let's just try it on now. It's nice, isn't it? Lovely. Very sporty. Love the color. Yeah, yeah, it's like So we're in the center of gym, gonna pack these, shoot them later. Big day in King's Gym, let's go! What's going on guys, so we're in King's Gym and it's gonna be the last time we are here for a while. It's very sad for me to say, so we gotta finish it off with a big leg session. I also want to hit my abs hard as well because I might be going somewhere sunny tomorrow, so I want my abs to be looking poppin', want them to be looking good. So there's a good atmosphere in today. Like, everyone is obviously getting in their last sessions, they're training hard. So let's make it a big one. And I'm here with Jack Bingley Media. Am I saying that right? Yeah, nailed it. So I'm going to link all his details in the description box, so go check it out. Let's have a big one. Let's go. Alright, so just like we saw there with the rope push hands, this is a very similar movement. It's the same pattern when you actually look at it. Some people prefer doing it like this. So you get the pull-up assist machine, okay, and you push down on it. So it's kind of just like you've got the ropes here and you do contraction like that, but instead you're holding on to it here. So let me show you, like so. You lock out your triceps and just focusing on the abs. Oh, right, let me know what you think, but I feel that such a good contraction in my abs. Serious burn. All right, boys and girls, so finished up in King's Gym. Farewell for now. Just gonna have a little protein bar, some BCAAs, and get on with the day, pack up, and then get ready for the flight tomorrow. Also, just there in the gym I got the email, I got my test results back for my COVID test. Came back negative. That's my third time getting a test in the last couple of months. Came back negative every time. Just too jacked for corona. A joke. Well, maybe not. Anyways, right, catch you guys at home and then I'll make a proper meal as well, so I'll show you that too. See you in a bit. Just came home. Some new shoes. What are these? Black Louis Vuitton Air Force. Vuitton. Vuitton. We also have two meals in the microwave as as well, and then we're going on a big long walk. So today is like a fresh day. Fresh fade this morning as well. And so yeah, that's it. So let's eat. Linda's fancy, she put hers on a plate. I like eating mine straight from the box. Let's see, this is from ORNS Meals, another London food prep company. Chicken shawarma, rice and veg, 429 cals, 36 protein. That's a good time. And pro tip, I'm also gonna put a little Nando's peri-peri sauce in that as well. So right. That's lunch. All right, so we're just out on our walk now. Might stop and get some food as well. If you're wondering why I don't drive in London, the amount of traffic, especially in our area, is just absolutely crazy. So my car is still back in Dublin, trying to figure out what to do with it. Yeah, it's just sitting there being a nice depreciating asset. Love it. But anyways, all right, so we're just walking through South Kensington now. So nice. Like, look at these streets, it's amazing. So find somewhere nice for lunch, maybe sit outside, and yeah, show you guys what we get. Then we go for a walk in Hyde Park. Marriage is down South Kensington tube station. I love this little kind of— this little alcove that's like got loads of little outdoor cafes. It's so nice. Usually in the summer it's way busier. But yeah, so we're just gonna look around for a little salad bar or something. There's some good cafes around this place. Cross— oh, still haven't learned how to cross the road here. Goddamn Irish people. Look at this. I asked for extra chicken and it looks very good. So I love sitting out in the street watching the world go by. I'm gonna eat this now and then hopefully before it goes dark, go for a walk in Hyde Park. Yeah, this is my London life. Okay, so next up on Rob's tour for London, if you look to your left, you will see Royal Albert Hall. Very nice, all lit up beautifully. And then ladies and gentlemen, if you look over to your right, we will see another big monument that I don't know the name of, but it looks really nice. We're just on our walk now, we're gonna walk home. I don't know if you're allowed to say this on camera. Like everyone's always like, where do you live in London? And I live in Kensington. But it's a big place, so like, I doubt people are gonna like find me and come kill me. So, but yeah, that's the area I live in, and it's absolutely beautiful. I actually chose it because Mike Thurston used to live here, and when I would go visit him, I would stay there. And so I kind of knew the area well. But yeah, it's absolutely beautiful. I love southwest London. And yeah, I definitely want to like maybe buy here when I'm older, or buy in Dublin. Who knows? But yeah, it's one of my favorite areas in London for sure. So anyways, rottenness, um, please don't come to my house and kill me. Also, seen as we're doing little Kensington recommendations, this place, the Mario Pizza spot, in the summer it's all opened up and there's like tables on the street. It's so nice. I might do a little video in the morning as well, um, kind of just going over like my favorite parts of London, tips for moving here, and yeah, some recommendations just like that. So yeah, I hope you're enjoying this little London vlog and hope it's kind of like nice and autumn-y. Autumn-y? Is autumn-y a word? I don't think it is, but I said it anyways. It's the end of the day. I'm eating a tub of frozen yogurt from Yogland. Linda's over there as well. She's eating a tub of Jude's salted caramel. Mmm, local. Yep, you betcha. You're goddamn right it is. This is how we bond. We sit on opposite couches and we talk about the world. We're just saying, what an unopportunistic year this has been, but we're gonna make the best out of it. So I'm just gonna go to bed now, finish packing in the morning, and then probably catch up in this vlog. So see you then. Keep it real. Peace. Good night. Hello, hello. Update on today's vlog. We're in the airport about to take off. I spilled pasta on my t-shirt, on my white t-shirt. Also, scariest thing ever. If your flight is departing from B or C— Black Mirror vibes. All right, so we're about to get this little train to our gate, then we're getting on the plane. So I'll check in with you guys then, and then I'll see you in another country. I also got a little bit of pasta on my mask as well. And we are in the hotel room. Got a little— this is a little bit tired. So we're in the hotel room, got a little last minute upgrade. Nice little balcony in a bigger room. So yeah, I'm gonna finish up the vlog here. It's definitely been going on long enough, but we escaped lockdown and we didn't break any rules before the Karens come into the comment section. And so now I'm gonna meet a familiar friend down on the beach and we're gonna chill out and probably have a little chill gym session or something, just a pump. And then an action-packed month lies ahead of us. So see you in the next video. Keep it real. Peace. I'm outta here. Oh, there he is! Real reason that I'm in Dubai is a business trip, just to make sure. Yeah! Just make sure Mike is okay, he's behaving himself, that his chest is still intact. Pumped at all times. Still offending everyone.
