So this is what happens when you get 3 meatheads in a pretty much empty hotel gym with really good lighting and actually pretty good equipment. So we had an absolute really good session. Like, it was nothing too serious. Like, obviously we don't want to do anything strenuous before tomorrow's video shoot. It was really fun, and you know, that's what lifting should be. It should be fun. It should be enjoyable. It can absolutely be social if you want it to be. So yeah, this evening we had an absolute laugh, ate nice food, and then it's time to hit the sauna, steam room, chill out, have some chats.
Now we're just wrapping up a session. And then I turn around and I see Rob.
My glute program is coming soon. It'll be available on LipsettFitness.com. It's just gonna be like, you know, €15 ebook of my glute secrets. So coming soon, guys.
Coming soon to a store near you.
Alright, so just finished up a Such a nice sauna there. Had an absolute bromance, a lot of chats talking about fights, Magaluf, fitness industry in general. It was really good, but it's bedtime now, so that's the end of this vlog. I'll see you tomorrow, same time again.
