THREE WORKOUTS PER DAY | Our Thoughts On Crossfit | Thailand Vlog #4

Rob Lipsett and his crew do three workouts in Thailand: morning rock climbing, a midday CrossFit class with a 12-minute AMRAP, and evening bodybuilding. They fuel between sessions with fresh coconuts, seafood, and protein shakes while exploring the country.

Good morning everyone! So today, today's adventure, we are doing some rock climbing and abseiling, right? I literally just woke up there. I totally got the time for breakfast wrong. It's all right, we'll just pass her, have a protein bar or something like that.
Bad.
So here's the scene for today. Absolutely beautiful morning, and this is like the first kind of activity we've done, so everyone's absolutely pumped for it. What are we getting?
We got to wait.
Perfect.
All right, these are the new climbing shoes. Next year in Ibiza, everyone's going to be wearing these. Everyone's safer, mate. Yeah. All right, so now before we get to the viewpoint, we got like a 10-15 minute uphill hike run. We're killing it though, right bro? This guy has no problem at all. This little fella has definitely been up here before.
We've got one of these things called a belay device.
So we put the rope through the belay device and then into the carabiner like that, and our right hand's firmly going to be on here. We're going to be wearing gloves.
There's gloves there to protect our hands. All right, people, so that is abseiling. Completed it.
Oh, that one's meant to be awesome.
Completed it.
Only came out last week.
Completed it.
What about this?
Championship Manager. Completed it, mate. You can't complete it. Yeah, I know, but I got so good at it that the FA offered me a role in the England setup. Did they? I took Woking from the Conference to the Champions League in 6 seasons. Stuff like that doesn't go unnoticed, Neil.
I think the best part about today was not only the abseiling, but the view. That is insane. Truly grateful right now just to be doing this. So now next on the agenda is we're doing some rock climbing, and so that's going to be a lot of fun. We got our little shoes sorted out and everything. So yeah, let's see if Rob Lipsett can complete rock climbing as well. Good day?
Good day!
Yay! Yes, we are going up here. Today's form of cardio consists of rock climbing, and it feels amazing.
That's slow motion.
Yeah. You gonna do a harder one?
Yeah, yeah. So this is the most difficult one. See how we get on.
If I can do this by my own, by my own. Why the fuck I try too much if I can do this by my own?
Oh man, felt good. Rewarding. Motivational quote time. Yeah, if at first you don't succeed, give up. Give up. Oh my God, that felt good. I'm one of those people that like don't get it. It's like I, I just can't leave it like You wouldn't sleep tonight. Yeah, yeah, I was like, I'll be here at midnight climbing that rock. Viewpoint is up there.
Yeah, we all got it.
It's literally insane.
Wow.
Fresh coconuts after a day climbing. Need it, smash it, need it. Give us a little look in there. Oh, that's pure.
That's interesting.
Give me this all nutty electrolytes. Oh, it's pure. Doesn't taste like the coconuts in Dublin. What's this, big guy?
I don't know either.
You're just gonna have to It's an Asian platter with a lot of prawn crackers.
I think it's a prawn cracker platter.
That's a teriyaki meatball. You have to dig through these, it's like a challenge. It's like a game show to get your food.
My burger looks like 4 times cooked.
All right, so we got a seafood platter. It is prawn, squid, mini octopus, going on. French fries, salad, some sort of pesto. Either way, it looks great, and this is exactly what we need after a tough day of climbing rocks. Today's only beginning. Joined the dinner party, of course. Hello, friend. It's gonna clean my plates.
Oh, what is that?
All right, lunch finished. Now look at this, look at this for an iced coffee location, right? That is happiness, people. Iced coconut coffee and this view. All right, so what a morning. Um, like, what a way to start your day, not only with like a bit of exercise but also the view too. So now the plan for the rest of the day, the timetable, is we've got a CrossFit session. I think it's just like lifting weights in a circuit style. In general though, So we've got that in a couple of hours. So now I'm gonna meet the rest of the crew down by the pool and we're just gonna have a little bit of chill time, which— hey, there we go, pool! Hello!
Hello, Val!
Did you get the message that we're leaving at 22?
Oh, 22, so how long is that?
Um, 20 minutes. 20 minutes, and that's when the cab's leaving, so—
Right, quick dip in the pool in that case. Apparently we're going very soon. Yeah, so yeah, in like 20 minutes.
Yeah, okay.
So here, hold this.
Recording.
Where's the deep end?
Hit me. Uh, I don't know if there is a deep end. It's all deep for you, mate.
Yeah, it's all deep for me. 5 foot 1, you know, it's everywhere is the deep end. Quick dip in the pool, then we're going to do some CrossFit, right?
Sweet. Okay, welcome to— so today we're going to do, um, 2 workouts, teams of 2. Yeah, so we've got a 12-minute AMRAP, that's as many rounds and reps as possible, and then we'll get the workout set up and I'll take you through the movement demos and we'll crack on.
Sweet.
So Then we move on to pull-ups and kettlebell swings. Now there's a few scales we can do for pull-ups if you're not there yet, but if you're good with pull-ups, we can butterfly, kipping, or strict. So that looks like this.
So butterfly.
Yeah, nice and efficient. Or kip it.
Or if you want to be a man, you can strict the whole lot, but you're going to struggle after 12 minutes.
All right, me and Joe, we're going to try our best at the CrossFit. We truly are. Well, we might end up just doing overhead press to build up them delts and then doing some box jumps for cardio, but, but we'll try to— what, we'll try it. We're stupid meatheads though. We got confused just listening to it, so we're idiots. Kosh was white. All right, CrossFit class done. What'd you think?
It was sick, mate.
That's not what you were saying to me during it. Me and Joe, we made up our own little kind of CrossFit workout. It was more circuit training, which is legit. Yeah, you know, so we got a good sweat on, got a bit of a pump, and now I'm extra excited for dinner. But like, I'm not gonna piss off the CrossFit people. If you enjoy doing it, doing it. Just don't get injured, do it properly. Is that fair? Is that a fair way?
All right, yourself.
Yeah, yeah, just stay safe, stay safe. It's all it is, man. Just say no. Yeah, just say no to drugs, kids. The music, it's like an '80s power ballad. But right, like I said, over here in Thailand we're training like badasses, right? So this is the third, third training session of the day. We're doing some bodybuilding. That's what you're here on this channel for. You're here for training, eating, travel. So that's what we're gonna give you.
That is good.
We're gonna earn that dinner. Long day of training. Got a little snickerdoodle protein shake here. Oh, that's heaven on earth. Oh, that is good. Cheers. After a long day of working out, the spread is coming. Family dinner. And here's the spread, people. Oh wow, I don't know what any of this is, but it looks good. Yeah, this is like a surprise right here. Oh yep, get them carbs in.
Thank you.
Yeah, all right, dig in. Now like, can we all appreciate that plate of Asian goodness? Oh man, take some of that.
Do it.
Good night everyone.
