Marbella Life: Training, Business & Fatherhood

Good morning, YouTube. We're back in Villa Lipsett, but this time we have a new addition to Villa Lipsett. It feels so good to be back in Marbella with Isabel, with Linda. She's just getting some extra rest in bed right now. I'm going to the gym with Marianne. Very quick session, as all my sessions are these days. Doing an early one because it's still so hot in Marbella that if you don't train early in the day, it's just— you're sweating buckets. So I'm gonna leg it off quickly now. I love the background music, by the way. I'm gonna leg it off quickly now. Uh, we're gonna meet Ryan there, we're gonna hit a good solid session, then we have some cool things planned for the rest day as well. Full Marbella day in the life, let's get into it. Hitting the session fast, it's just pre-workout and some motivation, that's all you need. So crazy seeing the Porsche here in Marbella, like it suits it so well, looks so good out here. The company that I bought it from, Lewis Motors, they arranged to ship my old Mercedes back to trade in, and then they also arranged to ship this Porsche back to Marbella like for a fraction of the price that most freight companies would do it for. So, so really can recommend Lewis Motors enough, like not just for their selection of cars, they really go above and beyond for the client. I got no collaboration with them, they gave me a good deal, but I just couldn't recommend them enough if you're buying a car and you're from Dublin, from Ireland even. Let's go to the gym. All right, so just parked up waiting for Mariah, sipping the pre-workout, but So good. Life update for me. We got back to Marbella about a week ago, and just last week has just been unpacking, finding our new routine with Isabel. And it's actually been amazing. And like, also just kind of like catching the end of summer. Like, we went on our first little kind of holiday, like a staycation in a hotel here in Marbella with Isabel. And like, she was amazing. It was perfect. It made the holiday better having her there. Like, people think like it's going to be stressful traveling with kids and like it is, but it's just how you look at it. Like, it's just funny. Like, it's funnier. Like, there's just It's more wholesome, there's more laughs. So we did that, we're just unpacking everything and settling into Marbella, and we're just so happy to be back in like our actual home and just finding our routine again. So that's what I've been up to the last week, and it's been great. Very happy to be home. I need to actually go join the gym again. I need to like get my membership again. With Paddle, it's weird. In Paddle, usually I get like a 3-month membership and I just renew that like whenever I need it again, because sometimes there'll be a month where I'm in like Dubai or go home to Ireland. So I usually just do the, the 3 months. I finally have a car worthy of Paddle. All right, so here's the man himself. It's the new mayor of Marbella. What's good? Yeah, someone had to take the place. Someone had to look after it while I was away. So we're back in Paddle now, about to hit a session. And every time I leave this gym, it is so different. Like, I swear they're just doing upgrades just for the laugh at this stage. So this is a completely new section. These are the paddle courts. And then look, you come down here and it's like a brand new gym. Like, it's a whole new area. Like, It is— it's got to be the biggest gym in Spain. It's so massive. It is so big. This area was not here when I was here at the start of summer. Crazy. What are we training today, by the way? We're doing high rocks combined with CrossFit. I know you are never doing high rocks again. So like, I didn't even fall for that for a second. Me, on the other hand, I'm not that much of a high rocks hater. Marianne is scarred for life after it. He was never the same again. True, true. We'll do a full workout. Okay, safe. Safe. Pull workout, okay. That's a bit better. They're literally building an acrobatics gymnast area. Like, I've never seen a gym like that. I wasn't serious about acrobatics. I think they're like wrestling or something. I'll wrestle you. So this is the section that we're training in today, kind of like the main warehouse indoor section part. We're just hitting a pull workout and oh my God, I forgot how good the buzz is in Paddle. Like, I do love it. I do love it. So we're doing actual rows, okay? Actual rows. Actual rows. There you go. See this section? It's like the little T-bar chest supported row section. Got this machine here, that one there, even over there. And the reason why a chest supported row is so good in terms of hitting a horizontal row— the other option is typically a barbell row, and what happens is that people have, you know, weak hamstrings, weak glutes, and they kind of— they're too upright, they're not bent over enough, and they're kind of swinging around and using a lot of momentum. So what chest supported row does— what having that chest support there, it just completely eliminates all momentum and makes it just a pure back movement, essentially. So, oh, that's heavy, bro. Wow, killer movement. Hotel weekend away, eating whatever, so looking, looking pretty soft. But you see how the back is— this is soft. I think you're good. This is big. Stop. The coolest part is like just all the massive trays. How it's open air. Like, what a nice area to train in. That's kind of like the main gym, and this part, it's where people kind of just like hang out, socialize, and like do some light calisthenic work and stuff. It's cool though. So we're going to finish off with a little bit of arms, and then I've got a fade in Paddle as well, actually, in like 15 minutes. All right guys, we just had a killer back workout, finished with some shrugs there. So we had two rowing movements, shrugging movements. Now we're going to finish with some arms, and I got a fade in like 10 minutes. So we're doing the Rich Piana 10-minute arm workout. But what we were just talking about on Ryan's channel there is people, two exercises that people just bitch out on, they go way too light. It's lateral raises. Like, we've been in gym over 10 years, we're doing like 5 kgs. You can push yourself more on lateral raises. Another one is curls. People are afraid to grab the 20s and just like really give a strong curl, like really push yourself. Like, I'm sure I can get 8 reps here. Pretty easy, but I'm sure if I really focus in on curls, like this is strict form, if I really focus in on curls, I could get up to 25 kg strict curls. Maybe we set a little mini challenge on this channel. We're so used to just going in and chasing the pump lightly on arms, and it's just not intense enough to force, force growth. So, lesson for today, with laterals, and curls. Fucking push yourself. And then when you're done there, you can do a drop set, and then you can get your little pump work on the 15s. But rule number 1, those things are crazy. Push yourself harder on curls. All right, so this is the barber upstairs in Padel, and today we're gonna go for a little skin fade. And I've been getting them lower recently. I think it kind of suits me a little bit more grown up. Looks like I have more hair. I'll show you the results afterwards. Are you ready to do a good trim? Let's go, brother! Awesome. 3, 2, 1. Nailed it, guys. Thank you very much. Cheers. So this place is just above the gym. You'll see reception down here, so just go on up and book at reception. Recommend. All right, team, we're back at VL, and a big major life update happened. We got a proper coffee machine. First time in my whole entire life getting a proper one that takes the beans and everything up. We've been capsule people our whole life. Apparently the difference is night and day. So we haven't used it yet. This is the Ninja Lux machine. You can see all the stickers are on it, like we're yet to peel it all off, but we're very excited. They made the Ninja Creami, one of the greatest inventions known to man. Surely they were going to make a good coffee machine. I always find it kind daunting, like put me off having one. Just like, there's a lot of rigmarole to just get a coffee, but apparently the juice is worth the squeeze. Let's do this. This, this scares me. Get your machine set up and running. When turning it on for the first time, get it all out of your system. This is going well. Now it's, it's bean time. It's time to actually get the coffee going. Linda, it's happening! You push this thing down. Wow, Joe Delaney would be proud.

Yes, it's beans on subscription.

After some trial and error, we got it, and now there's officially no need to ever leave Villa Lipset. We have the gym, ice bath, the Villa Lipset Cafe coffee shop, we've the Ghost supplement store behind me, and now— and we've got Isabel here, Linda here. No need to ever relief. So going to have this now, and I need to eat something. I'm just running off pre-workout and coffee right now. All right, so lunch, big ass egg, egg white omelette, avocado, lots of healthy fats. We've got some spinach in there, scallions, a little bit of cheese as well. That looks good as hell. Quick little unboxing going on right now. Let's do this nice and quickly and snappily. Okay, first of all, got a nice big Ghost shipment, my usual stuff. Clearway pre-workout, coffee ice cream. I'm actually gonna make ice cream come with that in the Ninja Creamy. Loads of electrolytes, pump, greens, and a very fresh new steel shaker. And a nice hoodie as well. Now, this isn't a sponsored video. They didn't ask me to do this, neither did this brand, so I'm not gonna go on about it. Code Lipsett for 20% off. Then these are a brand that are actually blowing up at the minute, and I think I need to put you guys on. So Rad Global's the name of the shoes, and these have been blowing up. Up. I've been rocking them for about like a year and a half maybe. They sent me a pair and they brought out so much new models, and this is the Triple White. And these shoes, like, you can definitely hit a leg day on these. They're kind of made for like hybridness. They're like very, very firm at the bottom, like they're kind of almost like Addi pairs. And I think they look slick as well. So shout out to Rad for sending me these out. No, September, literally the best month of the year in Marbella. Weather's still perfect, less crowds, less hectic, less traffic. Doing the usual little daily dip in the pool, just can't beat it. We use this pool every single day. Ice bath still going strong as well. So I got a call in like 10 minutes, so just going to— little pre-call dip, and we do a little bit of work. That's life, can't just all be lifting and eating, or can it? Like for Czech, very casual linen for the barbecue. So after I kind of left off, I was like just messing around the garden. I was just up in the Hormozy corner. It's like a dark corner that my office businesses in. And the two main things that I'm working on at the moment, or like, I guess they're kind of one, especially this weekend, is Gameplan. So I've always had my online coaching app Gameplan, but that is fitness coaching that gives you customized training, nutrition program, access to me, an amazing group, just classic fitness coaching that I've been doing for pretty much 10 years. And then about 2 or 3 months ago, I launched the Digital Gameplan, which is for people who want to build an online personal brand, mainly aimed at fitness coaches, as that is what my decade of experiences in, and we just hit 150 members in the Digital Game Plan. So I'm really, really excited for that, to be building that. It kind of feels like something new. And this weekend I extended the invitation to everyone who's in the Fitness and the Digital Game Plan to come out here to Marbella. So on Friday we're going to do a big lift, a group session, a casual dinner. Saturday we're going to do seminars in here in Villa Lipsett. I really utilize Villa Lipsett so much, like, like I've done so many events here. Surely it's a business We're gonna do seminars here on building your personal brand and being able to work from wherever you want in the world and to go from consumer to creator in social media. So very excited for that. Ryan is speaking at it, David from How to Beast is speaking at it, I'm speaking at it, and Simon Shaw, another guy who's based here in Marbella, he's speaking at it. Then we've got a really, really fancy dinner booked for Saturday night in Puerto Banús. Sunday, run club, lift, beach day. It's gonna be an amazing weekend. So that's in a few days. I'm really, really excited for that. So this whole week I'm just preparing for that. So tonight we're going to relax a little bit. I just did some solid work and everything prepared. Like, just for example, I'm just getting the Game Plan logo put on the menus, just putting all the finishing touches on it. That's all done now. So now we're going to go for a nice little barbecue and switch off for a little bit. Life is good. Working on things we're passionate about, training hard, living in Marbella, enjoying the sun, growing my little family. Can't complain. Man, let's go for a little, little mini road trip now. Yo, what do you think of the wheels? Oh, crazy, man. Yeah, there's something I'm more excited to see. Oh yeah, here's the precious cargo. Ah, nah, she's up, she's up. Oh my God, I did not have time to prepare for this. Yeah, but she loves Uncle Mariah. Oh no, that is literally That is the best thing ever. All right guys, so this is the event that I was talking about earlier, and this is done by one of the biggest OGs in Marbella. We got Dani's Catering here, who did the day 2 of our wedding. She's putting on an event this evening. She invited Isabel and Linda, of course. And look at this place, look at this venue. So tell us, as someone like— everyone on my channel is very interested in business— what's it like setting up to set up a business in Marbella?

Oh, it's amazing. If you work hard, it pays off in here. So if you stay focused, believe in, um, in faith, yeah, work as hard as you work anywhere else. Because, you know, everybody comes to Marbella, they come with a chill-out attitude.

Exactly.

So yes, if you put the same amount of hours as you put in London, many big cities, you put it in here, you can make it happen.

There we go.

This is Villa, it's made for events. It used to be a church. Yeah, so, uh, it's a place of worship.

Yeah, yeah.

Santa Catarina, you went to Santa Catarina to get married, so I think it has been calling me.

You're up next. Yes, your wedding is next.

I only search for a husband who buys me this. Yeah, so it comes with a wife already. Nobody wants to buy it.

There you go, guys. Come on, comment, comment below. I'm absolutely starving. I can't believe how nice this looks. Let's have a good time. Having a kid is a lot of this. Oh my God. Oh my God, wow, this is insane! Wow, how much protein is on this plate? Come on, man. Okay, honest, honest guesstimate. Yeah. I mean, it's solid, but I think it's mainly fat. 15 grams, maybe 15. Not hitting my macros today, but we're having a good time. All right guys, day in life in Marbella over and done with. I think this is a pretty cool way to end the vlog. Good lift today, good people, and just insane settings. Like, what the hell? Oh my God, life is good. It's good to be back in Marbella. More to come. Keep it real. I'm out of here. Peace.
