The answer is more confidence. Push harder. People want to see more. No weeks off. More talking. More creativity. Show consistently. Invest more back into yourself. Train harder. Always document. Show off your knowledge. Care less. Stop overthinking. Be real, honest, and vulnerable. These are a few of the affirmations, things that I just write to myself in the morning on top of my to-do list. Questions to ask myself. Journaling is something like, if you go back to my first, first ever videos is something that I've always done. I visualize, I write things into existence, as when you write them down, they become physical, they become real, they're more likely to happen. Another one I absolutely love— I think this is my favorite question to ask yourself right now. Do this right now. What is everyone screaming at you to do? If you're in a TV series, you're on the TV, and the audience is screaming at you to do something, what is that thing? For me, it's more YouTube, it's more vlogs. It's more creating. That's what people ask me, people ask me to do, and that's what I feel best when I'm doing. So on that note, welcome to today's vlog. Let's get into it. Let's go about our day. Quick update on the micro cement: it is fully done, and we got like a tougher micro cement for this outdoor area. Wood panels going up next week along with the sauna, so the wood will match. And the big, huge, massive custom-shaped L-shaped couch is going to go up here as well, and that is ordered and paid for., but it's going to be like fitted to the exact measurements. Then I'm going to put a little mini fridge up here, and I'm just— it's going to be my retreat, it's going to be my sanctuary. So update on the upstairs terrace. Fresh package from Ghost, quick, quick unboxing. Recently Ghost have just streamlined their EU shipping, so if you're in Ireland, Spain, Marbella, you can order with confidence. Shows up at the door, no customs, anything, just dropped off. This was literally thrown in my front garden. I'm very excited to see what's in here because I'm not entirely Sure, we got a beautiful new steel shaker, classic water bottles, some Ghost shot glasses for the annual Rob Lipsett summer barbecue. We got some Ghost Whey Iceland, and this is just so perfect for the summer. Like, you can see how hot it is, sometimes you don't want a big milky shake, and this is just so refreshing. Mix that with water, some Ghost training tops. First Supplement Company, the Ghost clothing. Is actually super fresh. More Ghost Whey Isolate, and this is actually the best flavor. It is the Strawberry Watermelon, so good. Drink that around the clock. Some more Blue Raspberry Whey Isolate. Sour Strips Whey Isolate. Again, if I was to rate top 2 flavors, it would be the Strawberry Watermelon and the Sour Strips. These are necessary for summer. New flavors as well. It's the Ghost Hydration Electrolytes, Welch's Grape. I've never ever tried that, but the other Welch's Grape flavors are Amazing. Kiwi strawberry electrolytes. Classic lemon crush electrolytes. Ghost Greens pineapple mango. I have Ghost Greens every single morning. Finally, some good old creatine monohydrate from the Ghost Basics range. Guys, if you're in USA, UK, Ireland, Marbella, whatever, get on Ghost, the best supplement brand in the game. I've been with them since 2018. Code Lipset gets you a whopping 20% off your entire order as well. I'm confident that you will love all the products. Look at this. We got a massive salad bowl. There is a ton of chicken breast, salad mix, some balsamic, a little bit of ham there if you can see it, and mozzarella and raspberries in it as well. Trust me, you want to be putting raspberries, strawberries in your salad. It gives it like this tangy kick, this little bite. It's even amazing with like eggs. I love a bit of fruit on the plate. That looks insane. And chill, eat this by our lovely pool fence. And that is a solid healthy meal right there. We are dropping Linda down to the port, get her brows done. I'm gonna go straight to the gym. Now, plans for the coming months: we are going to Mykonos. We haven't been in so many years, like, would it be in 2020 or something like that? But we're super, super excited for that. And then we're coming back to Marb and we're just going to enjoy the villa, as last summer we spent the whole summer in Ireland. So we're looking forward to like a proper Marb Then we are doing a little staycation not too far from Marbella. We are doing a little trip to Tarifa, so I'm actually really excited for that. The best day trips you can do around Marbella are Tarifa, Nerja, and maybe Ronda or Málaga itself. Like, that's the province that Marbella is in, but Málaga is a beautiful city. It's all within an hour. And then it is back to Ireland for a good whack, a good slice of humble pie. And we're going back like at the end of summer in August. If anyone's watching this, you're from America or UK, the best time to go to Ireland is of course, summer. It's the only time it's not 0 degrees. We're actually really, really excited for that. Like, at the end of the day, we love Ireland, you know. We love going back, trying out all the amazing food and restaurants that we see our friends going to. So I know it sounds like I'm joking, but we're actually really, really excited for the Ireland trip. So that is the plan for the coming months. So right now I'm just shredding down, getting jacked for Mykonos, as I want to look good, want to feel good. I want to create some leeway to eat all the Greek food imaginable. So that's the plan. We're nearly here in Puerto Banús, so dropping Linda off, and then I got Leg day in Elements. I got legs. Everyone's probably just gonna click off the video now, but trust me, stay, I got some good tips. By the way, that shop right there is the only shop in Marbella that sells Ghost Energy, next to the Hard Rock. We are here, we are outside Real Padel Club Marbella. It is hot today, it is almost getting too hot to train in Padel Club because it is like a very outdoor gym and in summer it gets very busy. I was gonna go to Elements but there was construction works on the way, so I was like let's just go to Paddle and get it done. I love the leg machines in Elements, but we'll make do no matter what. So it doesn't look too busy judging by the car park. That's how I judge if the gym is going to be busy. It should be all good to record. Let's smash it. Big sweaty leg day and abs as well. Got to hit abs. This leg press in particular, absolute beast. Just the range of motion, the way it tracks, unbelievable. Oh! That is a killer machine. Vertical leg press, super rare. It's giving old school Arnold vibes. Wow. Fifth leg, Pit Shark deadlifts. Doing it on these, I find it so much better. I find with barbells or dumbbells, I feel a little bit awkward with This, the cable or the hook, almost go in between your legs so you feel it right in the center of your body. Phenomenal. Damn, it's on them, huh? Come on, let's go. Let's do a big heavy set. We'll see, see what happens. Okay, all right. And it's not— look, you have this setting on, you got to stretch it all the way down. We're going full rack, we're going full rack, we're going all the way. No games here. There we go, lock in, lock in. Okay, at least 12. Get an arm pump. 2 more. We're done. Legs feeling pumped. Look at that, this little posing area and paddle just as you go out. It's a killer workout. Went hard. Pump is good. Let's eat. Alright team, so just a quick little tip while we are on the topic of leg day. This exercise, this little trick, is the best thing that I've ever done for my hip mobility, my leg mobility, getting a better squat. It even helps with leg pressing, everything. It just makes you better at getting in the squat position. It just feels amazing too. And so what you want to do is, let me show you. So what you want to do is pick a weight that you can do for 20 reps at least. It feels really light, but it's enough to push you down. It's enough to force you down. And so what you want to do is— this is gonna give you perfect form as well— get into the squat position. I'm using a nice wide-angle lens for this so you can see my feet and everything. What you want to do, put the bar on your back, squat down, and literally just stay here. So you want to stay in the hole, kind of bounce up and down, move your knees in and out, just really stretch everything out. You'll even feel your ankles getting a stretch here, and you want to stay there for 10, 20 seconds, as long as you want. This is a great one to do before leg day as well, just like so. And up. So ultra long pause, down again. You want to do this— look at that— move a little bit left and right. You want to do this at least 3 times, but the main thing is just staying down in this squat position like so and just stretching everything out. The weight is forcing that stretch. So like so. Let's do one more. Nice and slow down and just stay in there. Feels amazing. So that is like something that just changed my leg days. It changed my leg development. Actually gives you bigger legs. So the better you are at squatting, the better your form is, the more your legs are gonna grow and the less people on the internet are gonna make fun of you for having shitty form and shitty legs. That's my leg tip of the day. Having a little tandoori chicken, posh meals, the usual. Then I gotta kill a recipe for you guys later. There's the gang. What's up, neighbor? What's going on, guys? Caroline is donating a massive Alphalete package to Linda. Look at that! We are all Alphalete'd up in this vlog. Look at these! I think they might be a bit too big. Yeah, you can pull it off, you can pull it off. So one thing that I love is when when Irish people come out to Marbella, or even better, move here. Well, at this stage, there's so much Irish fitness people here, but I just feel a little bit more at home here. Like, it's nice having someone like Caroline, who I've known for about 10 years. I think we've done a Q&A on this channel like literally 10 years ago. It's just nice when people call around your house and it just feels like more of a little neighborhood. You just feel more at home. This stage, got so many friends out here. I feel very at home now. But yeah, something like that is nice also. Look at the pergola up there. It is looking good from this angle. It squares off the villa a lot better. So I'm gonna chill there for a little bit, do some work, sit at my desk, press buttons, and I'll catch up with you guys in a bit. But such a nice time of day. Like, I love just lying out in the shade when it's so hot, digesting food and just shooting the shit. Who's coming to say hello? Look at her go! Isabel! Here's me attempting to work. This is actually what I'm doing all day. Always there, always in the background or at my feet. We're gonna go downstairs now, we're gonna finish up today's vlog, gonna make a killer dinner. I'm very, very excited about this combo. You're gonna want to try this one out. All right, so for dinner, what we're gonna do is we are gonna go for a big-ass sweet potato potato, and I didn't know this. What you want to do is you chop it in half and you put it face down in the oven. I was always a face-up air fryer kind of guy, but it just cooks it way better. It kind of makes it like caramelized and brown and beautiful. We're gonna do some steak mince, some beef, ground beef, whatever you call it, half an avocado stacked on top, and also a big dollop of cottage cheese. And then we are gonna season that with some chili oil just drizzled on top and it's going to be worth the fat macros, it's going to be worth the calories. We're going to put this all together, we're going to make a big bowl out of it, and it's going to be absolutely amazing. Alright team, end to a perfect day with a perfect meal. I'm gonna switch off, watch some conspiracy theories, get ready for another day. Thank you for tuning in, appreciate it more than you know. Catch you next one, get real.
