Rob Lipsett documents his final bodybuilding prep before the BodyPower show, cycling caffeine and carbs while training push and pull days at two gyms. He's heading to Croatia for two weeks and his dog Roman is getting fresh air while he figures out his next GoPro.
Alright, so here in TNT Gym back again. If you're wondering why I always change up gyms, it's just because I go to the gym 6 days a week and sometimes it's nice for a change of scene. But 90% of the time, Raw Gym, that's where I'm a member of. But you know, I like to jump around just to change the scene. But anyways, I'm here with Kyle, my friend Killian, and his friend too. So gonna hit a push day today, coming to an end. Had a slight refeed last night, carbing up. That was a Tuesday, so I should be feeling good today.
Let's see how it goes.
So hitting up my own LPP. Who's that? Who is that there? That's myself. But, uh, I'm hitting up— today is a shoulder abs, so push day B. Cheers, come on, let's go! Get this, you're gonna make all kinds of gains. Oh, nice! Chewing them in the gym, I know what it is, it's a Chris Jones thing, helps you concentrate.
Up, up, up! Come on! Let's go, mindset! Sick! Come on, man, chest looking sick! Come on, let's go! Come on, 2 more! Up, up, up! Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go! Come on, go, go, go, go, go! Fight, fight, fight! That's it, great fucking set, man. Chest pump is real. Squeeze. That's sick, man. It's looking insane, man.
Getting the cleavage Yeah, yeah, that's silverback nibs. All right, come on, let's go.
Sick! Come on, let's go! Come on!
Oh, good sesh! And come out the gym and I find a Quest Bar in my bag. It's at this stage, it's the little things that are getting me through. Oh, so I just came back and Roman's out and about. I'll see him later. But anyways, made this, uh, ate some of it, but it is a sweet potato and beef shepherd's pie. So I'm gonna get this into me now. All right, so getting through some emails and I just remembered my friend is coming back from the UK, so I've got to go pick him up now. Um, I might have to cut this vlog early. If so, I'm really sorry. And I also have to get some I have to get all these emails answered. I hate leaving an email for more than 24 hours. I always try reply within that time, but I might have to cut this vlog short. Hope you enjoyed the training anyways, and I'll try, try get Roman in later. But what's up? So it is the next day. My friend Gil came over from the UK. He plays for the London Irish, so he lives in London now. But he popped over and needed a place to stay, so he stayed in mine. Same setup as I gave Dan Harding, the old Lipsett special. But so it's the next day now, and I thought I'd just whip out the camera. So I'm gonna hit up Raw now for a pull workout. And look who we have here. Say hello. Roman. There he goes. Look at you, such— loves me. He is addicted to me already. He's like, He is— they're like wolves, and once they know you're the leader, they, uh, they respect you so much. Also, I think today, for the absolute lols, I'm gonna combine cherry flavor aminos and lemon lime just because I can. Also, seeing as it is my last week of prep, I am very caffeine dependent right now. I just had a big old espresso, and you best believe it was a double. But, uh, after this week, pretty sure I'm going caffeine-free until BodyPower. So it's a nice 10 days to reset my coffee— caffeine tolerance. Um, usually you should take a month off caffeine if you're gonna do it, but 10 days, it's better than nothing. But, uh, right, let's go. Also, I'm loving this big 2.2-liter gallon thing. I got it from Discount Supplements. Lovely throwing like some aminos, some flavor in it, some ice too. All right, so just outside, raw gym, you know, the usual, but also, right, a lovely day. And another reason my friend Gail came over was the two of us, uh, we just booked Croatia. So we're gonna be doing that, going there for 2 weeks on like the 7th or 8th of June, I can't remember. There's like 10 of us going, so I'm gonna get me a GoPro and you best believe I'm gonna cover that trip, uh, X-rated Over 18s footage. So that is something to look forward to along with BodyPower. You know, the show is this Sunday. So I told you this channel will get better. But yeah, so if anyone can link me the best place to get the newest highest quality GoPro at a good price, please do that below. But anyway, it's time to go in and kill this workout. Alright, so just a quick little progress update after workout. There is no half-natty downlight. So this is what I actually look like. You can see that ab vascularity coming in. All right, so show you what we got going on here post-workout. It is just a pack of noodles. I'm just gonna, uh, wok these up, throw them in the pan. 45 grams of carbs there. Some chopped peppers and onions, and then some hake fillets, and I just season them. I'm gonna put them in the oven. Hake and noodles, uh, should taste good. Bit of kind of sushi action going on. Uh, realistically, at this stage, I'll eat anything. And then afterwards, I think I'm gonna take the Roman guard for a walk on the beach or something. We'll see.
Sit.
He is just the best dog ever. Aren't you just the best doggie ever? You're so smart.
Kiss, kiss. Ah.
Right, so that actually turned out quite decent, and I'm gonna put some salt and vinegar on this, drink a lot of water too. I'll go through my peak week probably next week. I'll tell you everything about it, but I'm really just not changing much. But anyways, I'm going to eat this, catch up on some YouTube, and get on with the day. Oh yeah, that's right, we're going to the beach. Heya buddy, how you doing back there? One thing, right, I actually like— I am not much of a drinker at all. Um, I've gone out, I've gotten drunk once since January 1st, so I've gotten drunk once this year. And, you know, as I said, I'm not a big drinker, but I have to say at the moment I am keen for a night out. So that's something I will be doing soon. Just coming into summer, like in the winter I'm never arsed going out. It's raining, you know, it's cold, it's pretty shit. But in the summer, you know, I do appreciate a good night out. Also, I think it is great to get away from the laptop, put your phone on airplane mode, get some fresh air, and do a bit of thinking time, come up with some ideas. And I think that's really important for everyone to do. You should try get out in the open as much as you can. Dog, go for swim!
