What Went Down In Miami

Welcome to the Miami vlog. We got in last night, long day travel, so as soon as we got into our room we just passed out. We woke up super early, caught sunrise. It is absolutely beautiful. Like, I forget how beautiful Miami is. Now we're just about to go walk, get a Nitro cold brew, one of my favorite things in the whole world to do, and then go to Equinox Gym. So give the video a thumbs up, let's get to it. Miami vlog, let's go! So I've been all over the world and I'd say Miami is the most similar place to Marbella ever, okay? This is like their equivalent of the Golden Mile. So this is South Beach and everyone is out exercising, cycling, jogging, going to get coffee, up early, good to see. So kind of like Marbella, it has a party side to it, of course, but also has like the biggest fitness scene ever. So it's a great place for people like myself. Themselves that want to, you know, go out and have fun but also stay on top of their fitness regime as well. But now we are just about to go to the best Starbucks ever right there. It's at the top of South Beach, unbelievable views. All right, so this is Starbucks in South Beach, first sip of the whole trip. I know it sounds simple, but it's one of the things I look forward to the most with these views. Oh my God, it actually says that first sip feeling. Why can't we get this in Marbella or Arden— yo, what's going on? It's gonna be today's pre-workout, and then the gym is like right there. Workout done, looking kind of jacked. We've got to check out this hotel room now. Our Airbnb isn't ready until 4 PM, so we got some time to kill. So we're gonna get ready here. I'm gonna go get a fade, of course, mandatory when you first arrive somewhere. You gotta be fresh. Then we're probably just gonna chill at the beach for the day and then check into the Airbnb. I'll give you guys a nice tour of the place place as well. But killer work at Equinox, first time in the South Beach one, and very, very impressive. Like, it's obviously such a luxury gym, but it's got like all the best equipment, all the best bodybuilding equipment, you know, all the hammer strength machines. So I'm going to be training there for probably the whole time I'm here in Miami. So if anyone's a member there, hit me up. I think we've got to get out of this room, so let's make a move and keep exploring South Beach. All right, so we are here on South Beach, Miami, and oh my God, I forgot how good it is. Okay, we were going to go to Tulum after this, right? What the hell's the point? This is the exact same white sandy beaches, people everywhere, good vibes. Weather is like, it's hotter than I remembered. It is like 32 degrees or something. Just bought these swim shorts. Are they a little bit tight? I love them. Okay, yeah, we want to move here. So we just bought these swim shorts. I'm feeling good. I met a few mutual friends here that invited us to a party tonight. We're going to Novikov. It is just altogether a good time. Check out the vibes here, everybody relaxing, having a good time. But we've got about 2 to hours until our check-in, so I'm just gonna relax here now, go for another swim, and I will see you guys in a little bit. All right, people, we have just checked in and oh my God, the place is perfect. So here is the living area. We've got an L-shaped couch that's big enough to sleep on. We got a massive TV, look at the size of that. The kitchen, so we've got a nice big grill here. We got some bottles of water, a Keurig coffee machine, a blender for my protein shakes. And then down here we have the bathroom. Bedroom. We have another TV, an office space, and a big massive bed. So this is our home for the next 10 days. And if you guys want to check this Airbnb out, I'll give you guys the link in the description box because I like to shout out other good businesses and give you guys good recommendations on places to go. All right, so when traveling, what is the hardest thing to do with your nutrition? Okay, it does not hit your carb intake. All you have to do is eat a few packs of these and you can hit your carb intake in a minute. It's not your fat intake either, especially in America, super easy to get in a high fat content. Check the day, the hardest thing is to hit your protein intake. And now I aim for 200 grams of protein per day. That's just over 1 gram per pound of body weight for me. The reason I do that, kind of over the limit, is because it keeps me full, keeps me from overeating, and I just like protein, right? So we picked up these 2 chicken breasts from Whole Foods. $7 for chicken breast, my God. In each one of these, they're pretty big, there's about 35 grams of protein, I would say. So 35 plus 35, that's 70. And then we got another 25 grams of protein from this shake as well, and this is a low sugar one. It's very easy to pick up protein shake in a shop and they've got like extremely high carbs, why they taste amazing. So look out for ones that have like zero sugar, low carb intake. So this has 8 grams of carbs, 6 grams of fiber, that is unbelievable, and 4 grams of fat. So this right here, okay, make it easy on yourself. Just this right here, that is going to take care of like the majority of my protein intake and lean protein sources. So we're not going to get in a ton of carbs and fats. When we're having these as well. So simplify your nutrition, make it easier on yourself. Like, look, that is like— there's like the perfect visual right there. We're just about to head out the door, and then I'll show you guys meal 1 when we have it. All right guys, so we just got caught in a tropical storm. What a setting to eat breakfast. This is meal 1, not much protein but still nutrient-dense, a lot of fiber in it as well. So we're in a place called Green Life, and we got a big old açaí. I got a ginger shot, trying to have have one of these every day. Black coffee, ice. Gonna enjoy this now. I'm just gonna laugh at the rain in Miami. Like, every day it'll do this for like an hour or two, but then it's really sunny and it's really hot. Just gotta laugh. What's the quote? Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain. It's about learning how to eat your açaí in the rain and smile and be happy. All right, it is taco time once again. Check them out. This is at a place called Bodega, which is just beside our Airbnb. Looks awesome, the price amazing, and we always see it easy. So we said we gotta call it. We're gonna have these now. Not much protein in these. I would estimate these 2 tacos are probably going to be about 700 calories as well. Always overestimate. Could use some hot sauce too. Put a little bit of lime on it. Look at that. Perfect. 10 out of 10. So we are going for our daily walk down South Beach, and look what we see. This is like the zoo. He's absolutely huge. Oh my God, look at his tail. He's a Big dude! This place is wild. After the excitement of meeting the wild iguana, we decided to go on a food and gym tour of South Beach where we lifted and ate whatever we could get our hands on. So safe to say this was the perfect way to end the Miami part of our trip before heading off to Houston to go check up on Alfie. Miami, 10 out of 10 trip. Haven't been there since 2019 and I love it as much as What's going on, guys? Welcome to today's video. You can probably guess where we are. We are back in Alphalete HQ, and oh my God, it feels so good to be back. Even though it is thunder and lightning today, I brought the Irish weather with me. So we just finished up in Miami, and of course it'd be rude not to call up to Texas while right in the great USA. So I'm really excited for a week of training, shooting, creating content. I'm actually about to shoot new line, the new product drop for the next launch, and also for the website as well. So it's an honor to be able to do that. So it's just me here right now, and oh my God, since I've been here last, even the VIP lounge has stepped its game up. Absolutely crazy. But today I'm just about to get a lift in, then I'll probably shower here, and then we're going to do the shoot. So really looking forward to it, and man, I'm just happy to be back. All right guys, we're here with my first training partner ever. I'm not, I'm not exaggerating. I'm not exaggerating. It's my first training partner ever, Kyle. Probably if you go back to the first ever videos on this channel, yeah, 2015, bro, you are gonna see this man. So Kyle's living out here in Alphaland. 2 weeks out? 3 weeks out. 3 weeks out. Okay, he's looking 2 weeks out. So honestly, go check out his Instagram. He's posting such good content at the moment, and we are about to hit push session right here just before my shoot, so I'll be looking nice and pumped. Let's get it! Alright, so workout is done. Great push session with Kyle. And now this is the crew for the shoot today. We are about to shoot the new range for Alphalete. Just websites. Yeah, keep dancing. Keep going. Yeah. What's up? How you feeling today? Good. Excited? Yeah. It's my first shoot, so. Oh, no way. Yeah. Welcome to the family. Yeah. The new range looks awesome. Awesome. I tried it on this morning for a workout and I look fantastic in it. So I'm very, very excited. So I'll show you guys some B-roll of the shoot, how we get on, and I'll see you in the next clip. All right guys, so this is the setting for today's shoot. You can see behind me. So when you see these photos on the Alpha Elite Instagram, it's not a real gym, okay? They're building like this little makeshift gym behind me because the kind of vibe, the look that we're going for today is like a luxurious, like higher-end gym. Personally, I like the old-school gym that we're actually in, but this is the kind of aesthetic that we're going for today. So We're about to start shooting now. People are just like testing the lighting and everything, but very exciting stuff. My first outfit, I think I'm gonna have to change because it's covered in rain, but either way, we're about to start shooting. I'm very excited. The crew's all here. All right, so meal 1 of the day is gonna be this Gatorade protein bar. It's all I could find. 350 calories, 40 carb, 20 protein. That is not good for cutting, but we're gonna eat it anyways. And Gatorade Zero. So usually I don't like— I just did my first outfit. Usually I don't shoot or I don't eat much before that, but shoot's nearly over now, so we're gonna have a first meal of the day. You cannot get these in Ireland or Marbella. This is like a meal replacement bar. Yeah, it's like literally just like It's very good though, very good. So shoot is done and I'm absolutely starving today. I've just eaten like protein bars, little oat bowls, jellies, nuts, snacks, all the stuff that are kind of like on set when you're shooting. So I need a proper meal, I'm starving, and we are in Sugarland, right in the town center, and there's actually so much food places. Like, every second place is just like a restaurant or a cafe or something. So I'm absolutely starving, and I think we are feeling Japanese food. So I looked up a few places. Japaneiros, I think that's on the cards. Linda, are you excited for Japaneiros? Very, very hungry. So let's go all in. All right, so we went to a place called Japaneiros. The menu is pretty wild. It's like Mexican-Japanese, and it looks amazing though. So we just got these, okay? They're like spicy garlic edamame. I've never had that in my life. Very good. Then we also got some grilled skewers for protein and then 3 sushi rolls. So big meal, big meal. Let's do one quick little taste test. Lots of wasabi. If you don't eat wasabi, you don't actually like sushi. That is unreal. Proper good. Rating out of 10? Honestly, I'm giving that like an 8.5. Yeah, it was like perfect. Great price too. Day 1 in Texas complete. I am just so happy be back here. Like, I feel very welcome here. I feel like I'm in the right place, and I feel productive as well. So I'm looking forward to just a week of— honestly, smash up probably one of the best gyms in the world, eat some nice food, and chill now with some great people. So, so I'm gonna finish up the vlog here. See you guys in the next one. Peace. You know it's going to be a good video when we open it with a Nitro cold brew. So we are just about to get picked picked up by— how would I describe this guy? One of the best YouTubers in the game, one of the best entrepreneurs in the game. I'm gonna spend the day with him, so you're gonna see who it is in the next clip, and we're gonna have a great day. So let's get into the video. Max Tuning, what's up vlog? How we doing today?

Good, ready to get jacked here at Alpha Land. Gonna get taken through by Rob Lipsett. I mean, these biceps, can't go wrong. I can't wait to look like you, bro.

So we just arrived at Alpha Land. This is one of my last sessions here, so no better person to spend it with than Max Poo. We're gonna go in, we're gonna hit some chest, and then we are gonna chill out, shoot the shit afterwards, and just have a great day. Max is gonna show me some cool top secret stuff. We have a lot of stuff to do after the gym. Yeah, yeah.

Stay tuned, there's a lot going on.

So workout is done and now we're seeing where the magic happens. We are seeing Sarastreps HQ.

This is, uh, yeah, one of our— this is our main warehouse, but we are getting out of it. So in a minute, so you're gonna see this warehouse and you're gonna be like, oh my gosh, that's that's really, really big, you ain't seen nothing yet. Wait, wait till the rest of this video.

We're seeing the tuning empire today. What? This is so inspiring for me to see.

For Fuel Cakes, this warehouse alone is, uh, this is a 15,000 square feet warehouse. I started in 1,000 square feet, and the new one we're going to, 60,000.

So 60x.

Yeah, yeah.

Wow, that's insane. Next up in the Max Tuning Experience, we are seeing Max's plot that he just bought. And this is going to be your forever home?

Yeah, we are on, uh, 1.2, I think, 1.2, 1.3 acres of land out in the country. Gonna build a home. Not for a bit, we gotta save some more money.

Yeah, look at the size of this. Like, I don't know if you can even see how big this is, but it is absolutely huge. Anytime I'm in Texas, I'm going to be able to stay here, so it's pretty, pretty much my house as well, right?

You're gonna have your own little outhouse, you'll have a fridge, a little kitchenette.

Don't worry, you won't even know I'm there. All right, so next stop, we are at Birria or Barrio. You sit down and you build your own tacos. You fill out this form, you're gonna take the house specials or build your your own. I think I'm just gonna go with the recommended one. These guys are building their own here, but so we're about to get our taco on. And we're still on the holiday diet, okay? We're going back to Marbella on Monday, but until then I'm gonna eat all the tacos, drink all the margaritas, and then it's time for the winter shred. But I'll show you the food when it arrives. So last stop of the day at the Max Tuning Experience, we are in his beautiful home. Look at Oh, there she is, Miss Texas! You've made— what's it like to have made it?

We're still trying to continue to make it, dude.

You never—

we're proud but never satisfied, you know?

There we go, there we go. And that, ladies and gentlemen, concludes the yearly USA trip, Miami to Texas, all boxed off. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Now it is time to head back to Marbella, get back on the grind, get some stability back in my life, and knuckle down for a bit. What a crazy journey. Still can't believe that I get to do all these things and this is my life. I just want to say thank you so much, guys. Until the next one, keep it real. I'm out of here. Peace.
