In this informal vlog, Rob Lipsett welcomes guest Joe Delaney (and other friends) to an old‑school gym in the UK for a short upper‑body workout, followed by a post‑gym Nando’s meal. He announces that Joe will become his coach for the next few weeks and will stay at Rob’s place in Dublin. The vlog then follows Rob to Myprotein’s headquarters for a behind‑the‑scenes photoshoot at Total Fitness, showcasing the large gym, wardrobe, and the process of creating fitness‑brand imagery. Throughout, Rob gives shout‑outs to sponsors (Myprotein, Cut & Sew, KBM Dental), runs a free dental‑treatment competition, and engages with his audience, encouraging comments about UK viewers and future meet‑ups. The video ends with reflections on his UK trip, gratitude to fans, and plans for future content back in Ireland.

What's up everyone, welcome to episode 2 Beyond Lean. This time I got a special guest, it is the one and only Joey D, and we got an extra Del as well, we got Mike D. We're about to go into this old school gym, Dave's, looks pretty good, and hit a session, so let's go. All right, so post-workout Delaney sandwich. In the changing rooms. It's kind of what I came to the UK for, to be quite honest. It's kind of the highlight of my trip. But, uh, not to be real, we actually had a deadly workout. It was mainly just an upper body pump, have a chat, take pics. Yeah, just alienate the rest of the gym by acting like a weirdo who loves himself. So now we're gonna do like what typical gym lads do and go get a Nando's. That's how it's meant to be, really. Yeah, man. Two Delaney's in their natural habitat. Both on cellular mobile devices. Yeah, we should stop. We should not. Yeah, no, let's have an actual conversation. Yeah, food is arriving now. We are so hungry here. Gym nuts and Nando's after the gym. Yeah, it's actually kind of just like— it's a thing of beauty. So we're gonna have a little chat here. I'll show you the food when it comes. Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it, man. Macro-friendly as well. We were about to called it a cheeky Nando's, but we're— I shouldn't have said it. No, just actually like, like, block it out, like, you know, actually mute it out one. Rice is one of them. All right everyone, we're going to finish up today's vlog here. We've also decided that Joe is going to be my coach for the coming few weeks, and I'm going to be his, and we're both just going to get out of this world. It's gonna get weird, man. Yeah, yeah, abstract. Exactly. So look, I hope you enjoyed seeing Joe on the channel again. Yeah, no worries at all, fellas. Let's do that. And Joe will be coming over to Dublin to stay in my spare room before I convert to an office in— when? March, definitely. Yeah, okay, sweet. And then hey, look, comment down below if you want to see a big, big old meetup in Dublin. Peace, I'm out of here. Keep it real. Ciao. How we doing, guys? So day 2 of my little UK trip. I'm up, I'm showered, and now I'm gonna go off to Myprotein HQ, meet the lads, and get ready for this photoshoot. I think we are doing it in Total Fitness, and so it should be a good day. You know, the photographer we're shooting with is meant to be really good. Showed me some of the shots that he's gotten before, and they're awesome. So I can't wait to to use them. Myprotein can't wait to use them. It's going to be an awesome day. So anyways, gonna take you along with me. Let's go! See ya, bye-bye! All right, so we just arrived in Total Fitness. I'm with Callum, who's a marketing manager for Myprotein and also Irish. That's nice to hear, familiar accent. But, uh, we're gonna go in here now, meet the crew, warm up, and get today started. This place is massive! This place is absolutely huge. It's literally one of the biggest gyms I've ever been in in my life. All right, so this is the first outfit of the day. I think I'm looking crispy. And, uh, this is— and this is the setup. Hello! And I've got wardrobe, kind of editing stuff, my bike. It's time to go. I started cutting last week, so give me a break. Yeah. Oh my God, when you're doing these shots, you've like paused midway, and it is honestly— it is more difficult than to do an actual workout itself. But like, I'm loving it. I'm getting a good pump. I feel nice and heated up. Um, so yeah, I kind of love these shoots. They're good fun. The people that you work with are always nice, lovely people. Uh, so yeah, having a fun day. And this is quite an easy press. I'd say you stick on 220s. These are kind of like— The man, the myth, the legend, Rob Lipsett. That's— which it works. Lighter too, because you know, when you're shooting, you don't want to bloat yourself, fill yourself up. That's why like you often see a lot of fitness models eat jellies and things like, and sports drinks, because it's, you know, you get that sugar into you, you get those calories, but you, uh, it doesn't bloat you, it doesn't fill you up. Yeah, I'm Rob Lipsett. And I choose my protein. All right, so it's halftime after the shoot. We are all wrecked. I'm here with Vinny Gough as well. Hello. Got some chicken and rice there, and I got some something similar. Salad. I'm gonna enjoy this night, take a bit of a rest, and then get back to it. All right, so nearly finished today, just wrapping up now. Got about 2 more outfits to do. And also, I gotta give a shout out for one, Cut and Sew, for the haircut for left, and KBM Dental in Rathfarnham. I'm also running a competition for a completely free treatment on my Facebook page, so go check that out. So thank you to them for making me look less shit. Oh man, I am absolutely wrecked. I'm gonna go to sleep early tonight. I kind of like that though, after like a hard day when you're tired and the second you Head hits the pillow, you're just out like a light. So I'm gonna wrap this video up here. I'm going back to Ireland tomorrow, and I actually really enjoyed these few days in the UK. You know, even if it's only like a 40-minute flight over to the UK, it's still kind of nice going somewhere, leaving Ireland, having some different scenery. It's also great to catch up with a few people, and a lot of subscribers came up to me in the gym that I was in the night before and today, and they were like, "Hey, you know, I love your videos." So that all I love that. Like, if you— I always say, if you ever see me, just please say hello. More than happy to talk to anyone who subscribed to my channel. And comment down below if you're from the UK, because I didn't know I had that many subscribers from the UK, which is awesome. I want to reach people all over the world. So thank you guys so much for watching episode 2. I'll be coming out with some better episodes when I'm back in Ireland, back in my apartment, back in Raw and stuff like that. So I hope you enjoyed. I'll catch you in the next one. Keep it real.
