The Start Of Something Big

The creator kicks off the Alfley tour with a 2,000-person meetup at Raw Gym Dublin, then flies to Amsterdam for a chest workout at Bundle Gym and explores the city. Lost luggage and jet lag don't slow the momentum.

Welcome to the vlog, everyone. So it is the start of the Alfley Tour, and I'm so excited because the first stop is Raw Gym Dublin. We are all just getting ready for the meetup now, and we're about to head off. So everyone has made themselves right at home. Alright, big man. We ready? Yeah, let's do it. So pumped. The turnout— we have like a reservation page, um, just to get an idea on numbers. Still, anyone can show up though. And it was like over 750 registrations, so we're about to go now and like I literally don't know what to expect. So here goes nothing. Making too many gains, can't fit out the door. Nah, it's the backpack. It's cuz it's too hot. All right homies, all right, let's do this. Timmy had like his very watered down Up Is With It. Yeah, yeah, screw this. Crazy, we got Spin, we got some Spell, here we go. Yo, what's up, what's up? Whoa. Okay people, so here is the turnout. Let's see if anyone showed up. Okay people, so here is the turnout. Let's see if anyone showed up. Look at that. This is insane. Oh my God, this is wild. Like, I, I, I like— I'm blown away. Like, I feel like this is like An expo. It's like the start of something big. Yo, how we doing, man? All right, how you finding it? I'm still like trying to come to terms with it. I'm like I'm just like thinking like this time last year, and it's just like I never thought I would have grown into like this absolutely crazy physical thing. Like, it's just absolutely mad. But let's just enjoy it. Just be there for it and let's just live our lives. I really needed to do this event. Like, I haven't done an event like this in a while, and it's like it's given me such a boost. You getting tired? Uh, no. Usually the tiredness hits me like afterwards. It's like you give like so much energy, then it's over and you're just like collapse. But it's kind of a nice feeling. Get food after as well. Rob, he's up there thinking Does that mean you are brothers? I would give us that, yeah. Can you imagine? Yeah, I think so, I think so. Face comparison. Brothers, yes or no? Possible? I don't know, man. Maybe if my mom was sleeping with the postman. So where you come from again? Belgium. Wow, crazy. Like, I've met people from like Greece here. It's just like, and even people like who traveled from all over the country, and like I'm still just trying to wrap my head around it. It's crazy. It's mental. It's getting to that point where I'm starting to lose my voice a little bit, but like, typical Rob. Again, typical, but you know, I just get Excited! And this is like, I haven't had this kind of like expo feel in a while, and like I really actually need it. Like I miss it. And I'm just pausing right now. Oh, unreal! This is like, this is what I needed. Shout out to NutriQuik for catering for the event and just being an awesome meal prep sponsor in general. So I'm gonna wolf this into me and then blast out the last hour. There we go. So, uh, we are now into overtime. Gotta be done. Like, as I said in the last clip, there's people who travel the long way, so you know, we're not just gonna cut them off. Um, so originally It was meant to go from 4 to 7, but I think it's coming up to about 7:30 now. But yo, it's gonna be done. Absolutely no complaints. Event done. Lost for words. 2,000 people showed up in my hometown, in my home gym. I'm just like, it's so weird. I've been like, I literally am just lost for words. And like the positive energy in the room today, like we were all pretty tired and then we went in there, it's just like snap. It is just like game time and it was just so good. To meet everyone. And it's so important to do these events to remind you that it's like YouTube views, they're not just numbers, there's actual people watching your videos. Feeling just super motivated, and I really needed that because, you know, I wasn't like losing interest in YouTube, but I was just like, you know, kind of— it's good to remind you why you do it. But anyways, next stop is Amsterdam. We are in Amsterdam. The last couple of days have just been a complete blur. We are all very low on sleep, uh, obviously the meetup took it out of us a little bit. Night out Dublin. It's been hectic, okay? And then our flight was at some ridiculous hour this morning as well, so we're all very low on sleep. But we made it to the hotel, it's beautiful, we checked in, we all had a little bit of a nap, and now it is like 6 PM, it's 7 PM in Amsterdam, and we're going to get a workout in. So workout, dinner, sleep, and we are going to be back to 100%. So I'm gonna eat this apple for pre-workout, we're gonna go to the gym, we're gonna have a much-needed session, and we're gonna have a good day. Bundle Gym. All right, let's go. Hey, where do you live? Uh, I'm just doing some statics. This is one of the coolest gyms I've ever seen. This is crazy. Opened up a couple months ago. Yeah, like the second Bundle Gym they have in Amsterdam. It's sick. They have like even like a boxing ring. We could take like 6 shots. Oh yeah, pretend we know how to box. I don't know how to freaking box, man. Right, update is we are hitting a push day, chest emphasis. Thank God. Um, I trained legs the last day in Dublin, um, but like right now I'm just too like traveled out to train lower body. So thankfully today has fallen on the chest day. So we're going to start off with some pressing movements and let's get after it. All right, so today's workout, it's gonna be incline, then we're gonna do flat, we're gonna do some chest flies, and we're gonna move on to shoulders and triceps. So we've got a good warm-up in because, you know, after a day of sitting on planes and just kind of lying around, good warm-up is important. First working set here now, see how we get on. Easy, go. Go! Yeah, get it! Yeah, nice work. Getting better than I thought I would today. All right, let's, let's have a good session. All right, let's go. Sit. Why you need the cab? Why you got a 12-car garage? Why you pulling out your rap's car? Yeah, I'm going to get— Oh, fuck, feels good. Needed that. All right, so now we're moving on to a little bit of pause bench. As long as this channel has been alive, I've always been a fan of pause benching. I think if you're ever trying to sort out your form, just pause benching will completely solve that and just make your technique way better. Right on. Go! Okay, so today's shoulder movement, it's kind of a weird one, but it's a lot of fun, and that is one-arm press. You can do these kneeling or standing as well, so have a little bit of fun with it, see what you prefer. But I am going to do them standing today. Really sick for the core too. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Music in this gym is also on point. All right, so finishing off some isolation movements, so we're gonna hit up some chest flies. Sick. Workout done. So happy we did that. I rate this gym very highly as well. Epic tunes, very good atmosphere, good lighting, heavy weights, all you could want. So now we're gonna meet the rest, go back to the hotel, get something to eat, and then we're gonna finish up this vlog. I see you join us. Morning. There's a lot of fashion going on in that hoodie, bro. They've lost my luggage. Oh no. Yeah. All the Alphleet stuff and my going out shoes. Oh, so that's what I got, man. They're not lying, they look homeless. Yeah. All right, so just out for dinner, went for the responsible choice. We got some grilled fish and some veggies. I've actually really been looking forward to getting some more veggies in today. But so we're gonna enjoy this now, then we're gonna go explore. So thank you so much for watching, catch you in the next one. Keep it real, later, peace. All right, people, so bonus footage. We decided to go for a little stroll after dinner and we are about to go into the red light district. I gotta give them some Amsterdam culture. Yeah, yeah, we gotta take in the culture, right? We gotta take in the culture. Apparently it's really pretty buildings and like paintings or something. Yeah, yeah, we're here for the architecture, that's it. So we're about to go in here now. I haven't been here in years and years since I was like 16, so this is going to be hilarious, especially seeing these guys' reactions the first time they go in. All right, so here's to a good chill night, people. Yeah, chill night again.
