SHE SURPRISED ME...

Never let you go again.

Yo, what is up everyone? Welcome to BodyPower 2018. Okay, I could not sleep last night. I felt like a kid on Christmas. It was like fitness Christmas. But so we're starting day off with something a little bit different. Okay, I'm going to my booth, the Lipsett Fitness booth. Still blown away and haven't seen it yet, so I'm gonna lose my mind when I see that. But we're starting today off with something called the YouTubers Meetup. So I think it's all the YouTube vloggers who are, you know, in fitness, going to BodyPower, and we're doing a Q&A or something. So I'm not too sure, we're gonna walk in now and see it. But yeah, let's get BodyPower 2019 started. Yeah, that's quality.

What's it like compared to a White Monster?

White Monster is unicorn tears, okay? You know, it is, it is smashing. There's only one thing better than White Monster, that's Up Energy. And Christian didn't pay me to say that. He didn't pay me much.

That's how it's done, straight here.

Chief Executive of Bonipan, and I am thrilled to have you all here. I'm not really in your target demographic, I would say, so YouTube to me is fascinating. I've known Rob for quite a few years, and you sort of championed this meeting, which is brilliant, so thanks very much.

Thank you for having me.

Jeff, Joe, and John. I will never forget that. He wants to see us, so— Yeah, yeah, maybe we're just going to take your camera and just go. Me and Mike are going to start our own vlog.

Mike Hayden. So great seeing you again.

Yeah, so happy to see you traveling around the world. Mate, I've seen you absolutely dominate the game. We're trying. You're smashing it. You and Jeff spoke honest.

Yeah. So good to see you guys.

Soon, I feel like they're like, "Do you want to sell anything?" teaching, so I'm like, nah, man, I just want to meet the people. I listen to so many podcasts when I go to sleep, when I wake up, and when I'm cooking. Oh, that's ideal! Holy shit! So this is where it's all going to go down at about 1 PM. Going to be perfect. So we got to get out of here before anyone sees us, cuz there was a big queue starting to build up and we don't want to tire ourselves out. So back here at— I'm loading the exit. I need to get one of these.

I'm hungry.

That one's calling my name. That one or that one's speaking to me. Yo, I'm getting my gaming channel going soon. Yes, I got you, I got you, I got you. Fortnite. Yeah, Fortnite. I've never played a game of Fortnite in my life. I know. Yeah, it's terrible. J-Max is about to kill me.

All right, first ever booth. So let's see if anyone even showed up. What's going on, everyone?

Oh my God.

Oh yeah, people did show up. Oh, it's you. Yeah, wow, you're all so polite. It's like everyone formed a queue as it is. Like, I got the best subscribers ever.

Aren't you glad to meet me? I think you should. I'd be glad to meet me if I were you. Aren't you glad to meet me? I think you should.

Oh man, I was like, who's this? Who's this going over the bridge? I was like, I was looking over, I was looking Lighting me up. Hey, so good to see you. Are you over there? I'm there at Smoke, so you're running around. Oh, sweet, sweet, sweet, man. Yeah, yeah, you got a good crew over there. Yeah, I'm like one man army holding it down on my own here. We are here to rescue you.

You got some help now.

It's great. Yeah, it feels good. Look at Jan over here.

So next part of the day is I'm gonna do another bit of time at my booth and just, you know, finish, finish off the day, make sure I meet everyone. Then we got a Muscle Fitness shoot, so I spoke about that when I was in Ibiza. And so here's the final condition. The reason we're in the bathrooms is because the lighting is good. But so, ain't looking shredded enough.

So of course we found a gym in BodyPower, so now we're about to do plenty of lateral raises, a little bit of chest, and some arms, and then we're We're good to go. It's like, we'll do it on the sly over here. Oh my God, I'm pumping up and looking— Oh man, this is like the perfect person to have me pump up. Yeah, that's just it. My God. So we're just going over to some dear friends of mine crashing their booth. Listen to how— Yeah, I have to, I have to.

Great.

I love this. Come on. Yeah, of course. Yeah, we have it. Good timing, good timing. You woke me up, Rob. Wake up. What moisturizer do you use? I always get like that. Yeah, bro, I'm crashing the party. I'm crashing the party. It has to be done. This is what you need after an expo.

Hey, what's going on?

Oh my God, I'm so good to see you. You look so good. Thank you, I'm not on prep. And don't forget, I just finished a photo shoot just then. So I'm like, bro, whatever, he's shredded all year round. It's good enough. I'm gonna have to take a picture of him, man.

We're gonna have some games. All right, nice little impromptu shopping trip. I might bring this for dinner. It's my new friend. So I went a little bit crazy. I went for a chicken burger, right? Because we're meant to go to Nando's, we're craving it. Like, I had chicken on my mind, okay? Typical gym head. So I got the Chick Chick Boom, and then Louie, you went for GPK, cheese and bacon, classic sauce. Classic. Then sweet potato fries, better than regular fries, and anyone who says different, like, just trying to be cool.

And then I believe you got a starter as well.

Oh yeah, oh, starter. We keep going back to the lumi bites and the grilled chicken skewers. More chicken. Heavy single though.

Yeah, good. That is top notch.

All right, scrubbed up a little bit after the expo, so So we did dinner, hit the spot, and now we are doing— it's not the official after-party, it's just one of the after-parties. So it's Friday's after-party, and they said it's meant to be a black tie event, so, you know, I wore all black, you know. I'd like— that's a good effort from me, like, yo, give me that. Uh, so we'll go see who's in here. I think Christian, Max have already gone in, and, you know, we won't be going on a mad one. We will be on an unmad one Saturday night, but tonight be chilled because I've done a hungover Expo day and it's, it's torture. It is painful.

So we're not getting too honest.

But yeah, so let's go in, we go meet everyone else, and we just have a nice relaxing end to the day.

Okay, so I think that wraps up day 1. So we came to BodyPower, we came, we saw, we conquered. We did a magazine photo shoot, we caught up with old friends, we pumped up, we got some good footage, we met— we met—

the best part is meeting subscribers, to be honest.

I met the people behind the views, and now we're finishing off. Great afterparty, great atmosphere, great people, and just, just a little drink, just a little bit.

We're still gonna be fresh for tomorrow.

So people, I hope you enjoyed this vlog.

So I had a really good time today, so I hope you you guys did too. Leave it a thumbs up and I'll see you tomorrow.

Keep it real, I'm outta here, peace.

Alright, so we're here at Dino's gym and these are some of my favorite gyms to train in, like just literally a warehouse, you know, kind of low ceiling, you know, old equipment, just badass, right? So you only find these gyms in Birmingham. They're absolutely unbelievable. So we're getting a quick workout before the expo and again, I haven't tried out this gym so that's one of my favorite things to try new gyms. So we're going to go in, we're going to blow up these delts and, uh, put that massive breakfast I had to use. Right, gym's unbelievable, the music's unbelievable, so let's jump into an edit and get this workout done.

Don't you know? Don't you know? I'm living in shadow. Don't you know? Don't you know? I fell for fool's gold. I fell for fool's gold. What did I know? What did I know? I fell for Fool's Gold. I fell for Fool's Gold. What did I know? What did I know? You a fool's gold. Yes, I did.

I said, yes, I did.

What's going on, everyone? Welcome to today's video. So this morning, right, okay, breakfast was a little bit different to yesterday, right? Some days I fast and don't eat till 2 PM. Then some days I eat bacon, eggs, pudding, hash browns, sausages, baked beans, ketchup, mayo, coffee, croissants. Oh man, the list could go on, okay? So we went all out at breakfast today, 'cause I know it's gonna be a long day. And you know, I had my shoot yesterday, so I'm gonna ease up on the diet for a couple of days, and then, you know, go back to normal, to my normal kind of eating routine. But that was very, very enjoyable. I haven't had a good full Irish in over a year, I imagine. So anyways, now we are at Dino's gym and we just finished up that workout there. I'm sure Louie did a sick edit that I cannot wait to see. But just a kind of recap on that gym, okay? If there's one thing I noticed in there, okay, there is no ego. There was dudes in there training in their like work uniforms, like big building boots, they had their overalls on. Some dude in like just an IKEA polo You know, he's obviously going straight to work now in a minute. Everyone was cheering each other on. Like, a beat dropped and he was like, come on, make some noise! Like, it was crazy. Like, everyone was super friendly towards me. And it's like, you know, I'm going in there with some, some Alphalete, a videographer, you know, kind of— it might look a bit flashy, but no one cared. So it's those type of gyms that are like the opposite of commercial gyms that I love training at. And it just makes me realize how much I I do love, you know, bodybuilding and training in the gym. So that's really started the day off nicely with the breakfast and then the epic gym session. And now we gotta leg it off to get to the expo for midday. Our Uber should be here any minute. Then we're gonna shower so we don't smell terrible and scare everyone away from the booth. And then we're gonna go meet some of you beautiful people. All right, now we can go.

Walking up to the expo. That's it, everybody! Holy shit, it's worked! What the fuck?

Oh my God!

Holy shit! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm in shock! Carry on then! Yeah! Been watching Rob for about a year now. Absolutely love his videos, so motivational. Everything he puts out is high quality, unreal. Can't choose one, all of them are great. They're just amazing.

He's so good and he just progresses more and more every time we watch him.

He's got better himself, he's got you guys' help. Every time it's just motivation again and again and again.

That's why we're in this life.

Yeah, yeah, I'm just like, you've been an inspiration to me.

I've been watching your videos since day one. I'm an OG subscriber.

Just gonna walk the queue, make sure everyone is still enjoying themselves, you know, occupied, because it's a very long queue and you gotta keep everyone happy.

The jinduk one, jinduk one. Yeah, the one that has like the big flakes on it. So like mistakes I made is the jinduk. I like, I'm just like, I'm making all of them, but I'm all good now. I like, early video was good.

You look good.

Everyone thinks I'm going to choose Rob.

Oh, that's so gross.

That—

oh, everyone is always like— everybody calls Scott A. Everyone is always like, Rob's an idiot.

Final day of BodyPower Expo 2018. Sun is out. I feel surprisingly good. Like, I woke up today and I was like, I was like expecting the hangover. It's like, you know, in Pulp Fiction where like all the shots go at them and they think they're shot, they're like checking themselves and they're alright. That's what I felt like this morning. So yeah, I feel good.

Good.

And, uh, we're just about to go smash a Nando's. That is going to like completely put me back to 100%. Last night was amazing. Thank you to Nuvo Birmingham. But yeah, Nando's Expo, let's go. It's decent. I'm not into the strawberry. Yeah, it's all right. Like, I'm a frozen yogurt connoisseur and like, it's okay. Like, that fitness, that low-carb fitness yogurt yogurt. It was better than this, to be honest. Either way, it's cooling me down. This is my favorite. No, no, okay, real, real talk. When I was like prepping, I was either for a photo shoot and competition prep, I used to eat one of these every day, okay? 200 calories, pretty big. And Ben Jerry's aren't paying me to say this, but for real, like, you know, you know, I'm into flexible dieting. If you allow yourself some that, you know, you really enjoy here and there, that'll actually keep you on track. So yeah, Ben Jerry's. What's this? What's that sandwich like? Oh man, best sandwich ever, every single time.

Hey, which has been your busiest day?

Uh, I thought it was going to be Saturday, and I was like Sunday will be nice and chill, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Sunset is full of people.

I think, I think this is the loudest spot it's been.

How's your voice holding up?

Not well. Throw a night out on top of that, on top of 3 Expo days, and the voice—

How many nights out? Cuz I saw you out on Friday night.

That was the warm-up.

Saturday last night was a real Friday was a warm-up, Saturday night was the real deal.

Yeah, yeah, that was a heavy one. You did it all right. Oh, of course, of course. I got to chat to so many people. And we got Jen Seltzer here as well.

Jen Seltzer, did you join them on the night out? Hello, honey. So she's like me, she gets through.

That was like the most perfect timing ever. And yeah, so that lovely chap right there, he was actually at the outfit meetup in Hyde Park last summer, and he didn't think I was going to recognize him, but he came out with like an absolute belter of a My mindset, it's just a thing of everyone's the same, right?

It doesn't matter whether you've got a disability or not. If you find something you love doing, do it every day. Like, for me, I want to make the difference where sport is just one thing. It's not parasport and normal sport. It's just one big thing.

So there's no way it's gonna get him, so I just spotted it out of the corner of my eye, ran up, and it's a good feeling.

I'd say nowadays it's very easy to spot the fake people in this industry, and just, I've met Rob a couple of times and straight away it's very obvious that he's 100% real with you, and he has all the time in the world for you as well. And being Irish really helps, you know.

I get so nervous with the hat on. That's not Rob! That's not Rob in the hat. I don't know, like, is this like, will I get a bit wacky after this? Yo, yo, Rocky water! Hey, what's cracking, boys? I'm finishing up, uh, guys. So this is Julian Smith. If you haven't heard from him, get to know him. And so basically, I think a training video for us on YouTube would be awesome. Yeah, yeah, some of your Instagram videos, like teaching the form and everything, would badass, so you can put me through it.

Hardcore leggy, man.

Appreciate it. Yeah, let's get it done. Ready?

Go.

All right, people, so, uh, Body Power completed it, mate. But, uh, so that is day 3 all wrapped up. We got through everyone in the line, and again, it's just— it's every year, it's a humbling feeling to see people actually wait in line to come up and talk to me and tell me they like what I do for a living. I'm, I'm the most grateful person you can possibly be for that. And don't ever, ever, ever think I take that for granted. More motivated than ever to keep continue creating content and changing lives. So we're about to leave the Expo Hall.

That was a wrap.
