What Life Is Like In Marbella: Full Day Of Eating And Training

What's going on everyone, welcome back to the channel. The last month of my life has been absolutely crazy, but in a good fun way. Life is fun, you know, embrace the change. I was back in Ireland for the last month. I was only meant to be there for about 10 days, had some business to do, mainly to do with moving Fuel Cakes over from the UK to Ireland. It's currently sold out now, we're switching up the manufacturer, We're making it with real Irish ingredients and a lot of new products as well. So stay tuned for that. That's what I've been kind of working on behind the scenes. The other behind the scenes— or well, it's not behind the scenes, it's an Instagram account for it— is Villa Lipsett. So huge progress has been made on the villa that I'm building in Marbella over the past month. While I was in Marbella around, you know, February, March, I was just checking on it so much, constantly. So there is daily changes, but you know, they're just very slight. Now that I kind of gave it a break, I went home for a month and I came back and the place absolutely transformed. It's insane. It's pretty much ready. It's ready if you have a bit of belief, okay? There's always the naysayers, they're like, oh, this isn't going to be ready till like September, October. Just watch me, okay? I swear to God, stick a window and a door on it and I will sleep on a mattress in the upstairs. No bathroom, no worries. Anyways, I'm going to show you an update of that today. And of course, Spence is laughing here. I'm going to show you an update of the villa today and of course my current training and nutrition program. I've been so on point with my diet and training the last couple of months and I feel I'm finally looking my best. I'm at that sweet point where I can maintain and I can look good and I can feel good as well, and also look IG ready, summer ready. But so I'm gonna run through my training and nutrition today, give video a thumbs up, and we're also going to do a little bit of day in the life in Marbella. It is officially summer. The weather just like turns, it like goes up 5 degrees within like the space of a week, and then all of a sudden every day is sunny, every day is beach day. So we're gonna go to Paddle Club now, it's an outdoor gym that you guys all know, and then we're gonna hit beach afterwards. We're gonna eat some food right now. I'm fasted, it is about 10 AM. If I'm training fasted, it's usually an upper body day. I'll have some BCAAs during my workout and then I'll also eat straight away after. When you're fasted, post-workout nutrition becomes a lot more important. So I'm fast right now, so I feel very sharp and my cognitive function is very high when I've just got well hydrated, caffeinated, and fasted in the morning. So I actually kind of like training fasted. It's certainly not for everyone. We're going to hit a chest day, then we're going to get out and enjoy the sun and get some food. So give the give it a thumbs up. Let's go about our day. Also, right, this is a bit of a halfway house right now. We've got this place for 1 month. I got an Airbnb. It's actually the complex Caroline O'Mahony used to live in, so we know it. Basically, if the villa is not done in a month's time, I'm either going to be living in there on a mattress or I'm just gonna go off the grid for a while. I'm just gonna go to Ibiza or Italy or somewhere in Europe until the villa's done. I'm actually doing a little lads weekend in Ibiza this weekend, but that's only for like 3 days. Here's another apartment apartment tour. We got second bedroom in there. We got Linda here. We got bathroom in here, good lighting. Bedroom in there with the worst bed cover duvet ever. I'm like, why, why don't you just put a white sheet on it? Like, seriously, when I'm putting my villa on Airbnb or whatever, that sort of pattern is not gonna be on the beds. Pretty solid kitchen. And the fridge, fridge is pretty stocked, so we're gonna do a good full day of eating today, so I'm excited. But anyways, It is time to knock back some Ghost Legend, 2 scoops, some Ghost Size, the creatine product that you get these golf ball biceps if you take this. First thing, my favorite supplement that Ghost brought out this whole entire year. I have this during my workout and also have it in evenings to stop with cravings. It just tastes so, so good. And it's the new hydration, so it's electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, all that good stuff. This is the Lemon Crush flavor, but it's not my favorite flavor. The Kiwi Strawberry flavor is my favorite flavor, hence why I don't have any left because I drank it all in about 2 weeks. I'm gonna fix all this up and let's hit the gym. Welcome back to the gym, everyone. I always just have my best sessions in that Marbella heat, train with no shirt on, feeling amazing. And at the moment I'm running a 5-day split legs, push, pull, upper, lower. If you want to check that out, there's a first link in the description box. I'm about halfway done with this, and then when I'm finished I'm going to move back to my usual 6-day legs push-pull, but I've really been enjoying the extra day off. I feel I'm actually getting stronger because of it and my recovery is better. So, you know, if you want to check that out, follow along with me, first link in the description box. Enjoy the workout. Hi guys, next up on today's activity is our daily check-in at Villa Lipsett. This is my current addiction. It's just crazy seeing my dream villa take shape. And I'm gonna put some of last month's footage up on the screen, and you can see the difference, especially to the exterior. It's just mind-blowing, okay? It looks like a different house, and it also looks so much bigger as well when things are all just smoothed out. So we're gonna go inside, we're gonna run through things really quickly and show you some changes that have been made this month. Not much change here. The porch was completed about a month ago, and it's pretty much done. All you need to do is paint it a nice little lamp or light up there, fit in the modern skinny window, and then we're good to go. That is the entrance to Villa Lipsetti. This is one big change, right? We're adding in a Mykonos stone wall, and this is like a puzzle. I'm like, I don't know how they do it. Like, do they have like a cheat sheet or like a map that tells you where to go, or do they just kind of go balls to the wall literally and just add it in? I don't know. But either way, it's going to look amazing and it's going to add so much character to the house because you go to Ibiza or Marbella, you go to the villas, they're 4 white walls and a floor-to-ceiling window. Okay, so you've got to try and add in as much little kind of characteristics that make the property yours. So for example, the stone white wall. And another thing is this fireplace that we're adding in. It's going to be from Kamika Fires and again, it's going to be ethanol, it's going to be electric. You can just turn it on from an app and it's going to look so good. And that's going to be the centerpiece of the house. And then up here we're actually going to have little pieces of wood. Again, the fire doesn't use wood, but you can just add them in just to again add characteristics. So we have all our furniture ordered, okay? It's from a company called Zoco Home that's based in Mijas. It's a Swedish company. Swedish are the most organized, clean people in the world, okay? They're just on top of their shit, right? And so we ordered off Zoco Home. Again, I'll put a link in the bio if you want to check their website. Pretty sure they ship internationally. It's like a seat couch bed thing. It's called a Chase, C-H-A-I-S-E. It just looks so comfy. I'm gonna put a picture on the screen. Words can't describe it. We're gonna have that right here. It's gonna be a little kind of reading chill-out area. And then the couch is of course gonna be facing the TV. And we got the Ibiza linen couch from Zoco. And again, of course, I just saw it was called an Ibiza couch and I just bought it. So next we're gonna go upstairs, and the upstairs is actually gonna be built first. And if needs be, we can just live upstairs while it's being built. Say there's like 3 weeks left, We're just going to live upstairs, right? Bathroom, office, bedroom. It's going to be like— that's all you have in a hotel. You know what? It's like I was thinking about the other day, we were staying in a hotel in Dublin and I'm like, I was, you know, living from there. All it is is a bed and bathroom.

Yeah, just a coffee machine.

Literally coffee machine. Exactly.

And a fridge.

Exactly. So let's go upstairs. Watch your head. So I can't walk in there because there's men at work, but I'm going to give you guys a little peek in. Compared to the rest of the house, this is Pretty much done. So this is going to be one of the bathrooms in here. Again, pretty much done. We just need to put on the sockets. This is going to become my office space, and then master bedroom. You can see this is the biggest bedroom, and then this is just going to be a little lounge area. All right, so back downstairs now, and the next big thing— think all micro cement, think making up Santorini, white it out, all soft. And a double sink there. We just decided on this yesterday, and again, the lads have it built already. So the sink is going to be kind of built in. I'm going to put a picture on the screen, and this is exactly what it's going to look like, okay? Even like a little stand for the shelf underneath the sink. Exactly, this is what it's going to be. So his and hers mirror, toilet in here, and then nice big shower here. We're probably going to put a glass shower upstairs We wanted one that offers a bit more privacy downstairs. And the amount of times that like a glass shower just breaks and leaks. Like, have you ever been in a hotel and you're showering and then you step outside and like the whole floor is just covered in water? Okay, I hate that, right? So I want to go efficient, sturdy shower. So this is going to be me in here. You know, a good nice sturdy shower. I think this area is where you can kind of see the size of the house. So from the front of the house, it actually looks quite small. So from this side you can kind of see the true size of the house. So it's a nice big pile of bricks, you know, completely detached from the garage over here to the bulk of the house here to the outdoor upstairs lounge to the dining room here to the pool and all the surrounding areas to the laundry room. So I'm very proud of the pile of bricks that I'm building. All right, so gym done, amazing session. And now we are on the Golden Mile, which is probably the best place to go for a walk. As you can imagine, it is a mile, I think more, of golden sand. The views are absolutely stunning, and you also have some of the best restaurants just kind of dotted alongside the Golden Mile. Usually they're booked up, you have to book in advance. We have not got a booking, so we're going to kind of see what we can find somewhere that will give us a nice healthy salad and a good bit of meat as well. Alright, so lunch is epic. Usually when you go to a restaurant, the portion sizes can be a little bit off, okay? But they went hard right here. Plenty of chicken, and Linda got a nice Caesar salad as well. Just goes to show you can eat out and you'll always find something nutritious on the menu, okay? That's like a bro meal. So this place is MC Beach and it's just on the Golden Mile beside the Marbella Club. Really good vibe here. Amazing.

It's amazing.

All right, so just finished up lunch there. We're gonna do a little bit of tanning for a while. This is pretty much my ideal day: work in the morning, finish up, go to the gym, have a nice healthy lunch, get outside and do my second block of work in the evening and call it a day. That's like my ideal day, and I'm very lucky that I get to live this life, but I constructed it and I visualized it exactly how I wanted it to be. The one thing I did not visualize was the towel situation there. I told Linda to pack two towels, okay? That is like a napkin. That is at least double the size. But anyways, this is our little spot. It's just a random place on the Golden Mile. That's where we had lunch. We're gonna chill out here for the day, and then I'll see you guys in a little bit. I'm gonna go for a swim now, actually. For cardio, I walk all the way up here, jumped off, and then swam back to Linda's booty. That was my motivation to swim back and get the cardio done. So I just did that 3 times. Great way to get a tan, burn some calories after food, and it's also fun being in a sunny place. The endorphins, exercising. It has been a game changer for my mind, as you can imagine. We wouldn't mind an acai bowl, something to cool us down a little bit. Usually I don't eat out twice a day, but an acai bowl, it's kind of like a snack, it's not a meal, okay? And it's this place that we go to, it's got the calories on it, and it's semi-nutritious. It's, it, you know, it's quite nutritious. It's very high in carbs, very high in calories, but if you get additional peanut butter, and then you got the peanut butter and you got the honey and you got the granola, so it's a calorie bomb. Don't fool yourself into thinking it's calorie-free and it's healthy, but if you account for it, it's solid, and it is also very micronutrient dense. So I am really bigged up this acai bowl.

Yeah, and it comes in like a cup with layers.

Yeah, we love it, to be honest. It's called Oakberry, and it's in the Old Town. So, so, all right, let's see you guys at Oakberry. So one last thing before we go, we're gonna send the drone up, make a cool transition, and then finally We're gonna get some açaí. So, let's go. So this is 350ml of açaí, the toppings, peanut butter, chia seeds, fruit. I'm gonna estimate this to be about 650, 700 calories. Sneaks up on you. What is up everyone, we've made it to the end of the day, so I'm about to have a big ass meal. So let me just run you through Everything here, this is a powerhouse meal, okay? It's tasty, it's fun, but it's very nutrient dense as well. So let's go. The micronutrients over here, we have avocado salad with some low-fat shredded cheese because we're trying to get shredded, so we eat shredded cheese. That's how it goes. We got some amigas on the side that I'm gonna slam back. A little bit of dressing on that, I'm gonna put some balsamic vinegar. And then here we have the protein. Linda is gonna have one of them. Linda, show us what There's a lot happening. Okay, what, what is going on here? The spoon is— the spoon's in the pasta. Why do you use such a small spoon?

I'm gonna chop the chicken up and mix together and put in the microwave. But this is chickpea pasta and it's very good.

It's delicious. Back to my stuff now. So I'm gonna have 2 of these chicken breasts. I'm gonna dice them up. We're gonna pan fry these tacos to make them kind of nice and crispy. Then we're gonna throw that the courgette into the salad mix, and it's gonna be great. So I'll show you the finished product all laid out when it's done. Okay, so here is dinner. We have our carb source there, the tacos, looks amazing. Then we got the star of the show, the big huge avocado chicken courgette salad, cheese, everything. That is just a bowl of flavor and protein and goodness right there. Of course, I just put Tabasco on everything. I'm a bit of a hot sauce connoisseur myself. And with that, I'm gonna have some fresh gas limón zero, zero azúcar. That means no sugar. This is from Mercadona, very cheap poppy soda, you know how we like it. And there it is right there, people. That's, uh, dinner, it's main meal of the day. But it just took a photo of me recording myself eating. All right, let's test out this taco. So a little bit of hot sauce in it. Mmm. So this is actually a portable blender from an Irish company. This is not a sponsored video. They did send me this out. They gave me a discount code so you can get 25% off, but I also just do like supporting Irish business as well. So let's give it a go. Boom. Just like that. Pretty cool. So as you can see, it's 10:30 now. I usually go to sleep at 11. I sleep till about 7 AM. Sometimes I go to bed earlier and I wake up earlier. One little trick as well, I say 2,000 calories even though my goal is 2,400 calories, just kind of as a little mental kind of push. It's a little cue to kind of say like, hey, you slow down a little bit, you're getting to the end of your calorie goal. So as you can see, we're on like 2.2 calories, so, and I got some protein to hit. We're all right on the carbs. We're definitely okay on the fats. Went a little bit over, but that's okay. So now we need a high protein snack. 2 scoops of Ghost, 200ml of skim milk. I also put a little bit of water in there as well. Let's see the daily total. So the daily total for the macros is 2,500 calories, 220 carb, 100 grams of fat, A little bit over and just under 190 grams of protein. You know what, did a lot of cardio today, had a very active day. That is perfect. All right guys, so I'm gonna finish off today's video right here. Thank you so much for watching. Just a handheld good old full day of eating and training, day in the life from Marbella. So on Thursday we're going to Ibiza with Louis, Mike, and the crew. If I manage to get a video done that weekend, I will be impressed. But my main goal right now, my main focus is on Rob Lipsett, but I'm just feeling super proud of how it's all coming together. And yeah, I'm just feeling good. That's all I've been up to recently. Hope you guys enjoyed the video. I'll see you in the next one. Keep it real. Let's have an epic summer.
