Alright, got a little surprise for you all. Back in Dublin and look, look who I brought with me. Yeah!
It's my new—
it's lit.
Rob Lipsett Army! It's your boy Max, dude.
It's my new roommate. Like, seriously, I have to put that spare room to use. Like, I just had to. So Max is here till Sunday. We're gonna have one hell of a week. Let's get this vlog started.
It's lit.
Okay, run us through your program here. We're talking about lifting.
Proper programming. Okay, we already hit our squats. So basically I have a bench-focused day, a deadlift day, overhead press day, and then a fluffer day.
I like the fluffer day.
We call this biz the fluffer. So bench numbers, heavy deadlifts on Wednesday or Thursday, Friday can be like shoulder-focused, and then Saturday is the fluffer day. Because usually you go out on Saturday nights, so it's just like your show muscles.
See, every day is fluffer day for me.
I'll get some like, uh, maybe some like oil and like kind of lube us up.
You do any photos, man?
It's the best day ever.
Okay, we are about to get this done. Yesterday was leg day and Max definitely kicked my ass in squats, so today we're benching. So hopefully, hopefully I can do similar. Yeah, we'll be somewhat similar. So we're gonna go in here now. We're so hyped up on pre-workout.
It was like, hey, let's take a pre-workout before we leave, 30 minutes ago.
Yeah, so we're like, we're like itching to get this workout done. So right, we're gonna go in, we're gonna hit it, have a good session. Yeah, dude, this is how you get the sick angles.
Got it. Well, Rob's doing the raw session, me boy Maxi's doing the edit. Yeah, so I gotta get the freaking angles, man.
Yeah, we're switching it up, so tomorrow I'll be the one doing the edit.
How you been liking powerlifting training, bro?
Uh, well, I'm glad we only did one heavy set and we're done. But so now apparently we're doing 5 sets of 10, which is more up my alley. I like high volume, I can get a lot of volume in. I'm definitely better at doing more volume than heavy sets. Something I need to improve on.
I was telling Rob, like, so I follow Jim Lipsett with their 5-3-1, and you kind of like trust the process. So when you get to your top set of like, when it's like just do this top set, you're like, I want to do more.
Yeah, that's what I'm like. And like, I train a lot, like just for fun and pleasure, but like I definitely need to get more structured with my training.
If you want big biceps like this, sets of 10, crank it out easy, dude.
Touch and go or pause?
Uh, touch and go, it's fun. Oh, that's proper, proper form, proper reps, proper elbow band, proper Lipsett. Oh my God. Wow, that was sick, dude. You didn't count? Motorboatin' son of a bitch. We're gonna go for 10 easy.
Nice. Easy.
Okay, so we're going on to our 5th set now. I think this is Max's 4th set, but either way, look at these forearms. What the hell?
I'm a one-trick pony.
Deadlifts and forearms.
Subscribe for deadlifts and forearms. That's it, easy. We're doing a Max training workout today. I'm just letting Max lead the way, and this is our 5th set of 10. So we worked up to top set and then we're getting volume in with 5 sets of 10.
We're powerlift bodybuilders, dude.
Yeah, boom!
Don't let me down on this last set.
Yeah, I know, this, this could be the end of me. I feel pretty toed from the fourth set.
I'm not going to spot you, so go ahead.
2 more.
One more.
There you go.
Where's your upper chest?
It's meant to be here, but it's just like not here right now.
Maybe tomorrow. There you go.
Look at that face, dude. It's a face only mother could love. Break 'em out.
That's it, easy.
Let's go.
Okay, so what is going on here? You've got like this serious apparatus of stuff.
Well, like, one thing I've learned over time when you do like edits and stuff, it's easy just to put on one lens and be like, I'm using this lens the whole time. You definitely can do that, but I think it changes your creativity if you switch different lenses, maybe some that can't zoom. Because when you use a prime lens where you can't zoom the lens, it forces forces you to be the zoom, so you need to get in closer to your subject. It's science, I don't have time to explain it to you right now. Camera science. We're getting the sickest workout edit. But you know what, we don't have time to talk about camera gear because Rob's gotta do some shoulders right now.
Sure, I'm sure, I'm sure. It's actually probably my all-time favorite exercise. Yeah, yeah, feels so good.
Just feels so good.
Powerlifter That is it, man.
Look at me straight on the abs. It's like, man, what is this guy?
Nah, you still look ridiculous, bro. You look great. When's the Men's Physique competition?
Look how thick I am from front to back though.
Slim pick.
If I get down like 150, I still have a 32-inch waist.
So we're finished up in Raw there, and thank God the weather is a little bit better. Honestly, like, when Max landed yesterday, it was raining, and I felt like it was my fault. I was like, this is all my fault. Yeah. And like last week, it was like a heat wave. So hopefully picks up because I'd love to go like swimming or like cliff jumping or something. But right now on the cards, we are gonna go get some— we're in a good food area, so we're gonna get some food because we're hungry. I'm thinking like sandwiches or something like meaty.
I want to get some meat in my mouth.
So hold up, man, bringing about like 10 pieces of camera equipment. That's my one.
I'll take mild and a big scoop of medium, please. Post-workout, we want to play it safe.
Safe.
So, uh, Max is like addicted to Chipotle. Like, he genuinely loves it. So that's what we went for. It was some burrito bowls.
They're pretty good.
Yeah, I know, I know. It's solid, isn't it? I think it stands up to Chipotle. But right, so we're gonna chill here. This is actually beautiful, a little outdoor area. Gonna eat our burrito bowls.
Really romantic.
Yeah, it is. We're gonna have a romantic week, to be honest. Thoroughly enjoyed that. I am done. Still waiting on Max's food to finish off. I, I just eat too fast. Like, it is, it is a burden, if anything. I like to enjoy my food.
Drink a Pepsi me.
Pepsi what?
Pepsi me. You get it?
Because it's Max, dude.
He's so lame. So I'm giving Max the full Rob Lipsett Dublin experience. So we had a great workout in Raw, we got burrito bowls afterwards, and now we're going for a little stroll through St. Stephen's Green.
It's a nice date.
It is, it is a nice date. I bring everyone on nice man dates. So we're gonna walk around here, then maybe up Grafton Street.
I'll get some ice cream.
But we're just gonna chill and have a nice day.
Anyways, let's get some wine later, candles, talk about life. We got picnic food and brought out here.
I know, should we— should have had a picnic. Look at the size of that camera setup, it's like a spade.
Hey, what's up guys? I don't like to attract attention here, just want to be myself, you know. Oh, sir, okay. Yeah, you're lucky I can't float. Float right after you, dude.
This is what I've got to hang around with all day, all week actually. So still walking around Dublin, feeling the love, feeling the love A lot of people coming up and saying hello, like, which is a crazy feeling.
But Rob has the strongest 15-year-old age girl following I've ever seen. It's almost like I, I get like, there's like reasons why people watch everyone, but like, why is it a bunch of 15-year-old girls watching your fitness?
They all just want to get swole. They want to—
oh my God, his muscles are so big!
So now we are gonna get some froyo for dessert because when I eat savory, I need sweet afterwards.
So where is it?
Look this way. How beautiful is froyo? Like, it's like a work of art. Okay, so me and Max are home now, um, and it's so good when you're staying with someone who understands YouTube because sometimes you're just like, okay, sorry, we gotta go home, we gotta edit, we gotta do emails. But, uh, a package just arrived there, and it's a very Irish thing to want your guests to be fed. Like, it's just like a thing, you have to keep your guests fed. It's just like, I know, I think we get it from like Irish mammies. Comment down below if you get that. So the company that sorts out my meals, Nutriquick.ie, just gave us a huge order. Look at the amount of meals. So we will not be going hungry this week. All right, so to finish off our romantic day in Dublin, we went to see a movie, right? We went to see Alien— what is it?
Alien Covenant.
Covenant. And yeah, so it's not the type of movie you want to bring a girl to, so that's why I went with Max. Oh God.
Out of 10? Uh, 7.5.
Yeah, that's what I give it as well.
I would recommend it. I'd recommend it.
It's solid.
Like, you—
there's good action, there's aliens in it, sci-fi. I love conspiracy theories and I love kind of alien stuff as well, so I like it. Gonna wrap up things here. We are planning out a week and we got a busy week ahead.
We got so much stuff in the activities plan, man.
There's a lot of stuff and activities planned, so it's gonna be so sick, dude.
We're gonna be doing so many sick things, man.
So I'll see you in the next one. Keep it real. Peace.
Keep it real, guys.
Peace, dude.
Wake up, I don't really feel right. Can't seem to hide what it feels like.
This time it's hard to hold on to.
Your love with all of these hashtags.
