In this informal vlog, Rob Lipsett welcomes fitness influencer Maxx Chewning to Dublin for a day that blends a pull‑day workout with a cultural immersion in Irish whiskey. The video opens with a gym session at Raw Gym where they perform deadlifts, lat pulldowns, rows, biceps work, and rear‑deltoid flies, with Rob narrating the routine and encouraging viewers to try the workout. After the lift, the crew grabs a quick meal (fajita chicken, greens, chicken stir‑fry) before heading to the Jameson Distillery for a cocktail masterclass led by a guide named Kieron. They make three cocktails – a whiskey sour, an old‑fashioned, and a punch – experimenting with egg whites, lemon zest, and whiskey‑lemon blends, while Max, who claims he doesn’t drink whiskey, is humorously “converted” into a Jameson fan. The vlog intersperses banter, Irish slang, and jokes about clothing, lemon zest, and the taste of the drinks. Later they visit a local eatery (Meat Wagon) for a “meat in a box” meal, continue the camaraderie, and wrap up with reflections on the day’s activities. Rob promotes upcoming events: a free Raw Gym session on Friday, his speaking slot at the Blogger Conference in the Mansion House on Saturday, and encourages viewers to follow on Instagram and subscribe. The video ends with a light‑hearted sign‑off, emphasizing the blend of fitness, food, whiskey, and Irish culture.
Chapters
What up guys, Rob Lipsett here. Welcome to the vlog. We're about to have a great day.
Alright, on a serious note, this is Rob Lipsett. That is an imposter. We are about to go into Raw Gym to do some deadlifts, or a pull day, whatever you want, with Mr. Tuning. And that is like his specialty. If you want to see some big deadlifts, go subscribe to his channel.
It's the only thing I'm good at.
Yeah, but that's okay, you're really good at them. So we're gonna go in there, get a lift in, and then later on we're gonna explore Dublin because Max is a tourist and he wants to get an Irish experience. So we've got a little surprise for him in a little bit. Now it's time to lift, so let's go in. It's so funny, right? Max literally is getting like approached by more people than me in Raw. Like, but I'm really happy for him. Like, I'm glad he's getting such a good reception in Ireland. So now we are going to go into an edit. We're going to do a pull workout. Like I was saying, deadlifts, lat pulldowns, pull-ups, biceps. So it's going to be sick. Really going to try and make this a good one in honor of Mr. Tuning, his trip to Ireland. So let's do it.
Oh, don't change ever, no, don't change. There's a hollow in this house wherever you go. Keep coming down that street, there's a hollow in this house wherever you go. Why is that so heavy, dude?
One more set to go.
Okay, workout done. Hope you like that. So we did deadlifts, vertical row, which was lat pulldowns. We did horizontal row, which was chest supported row. Then we did lots of biceps. Then we did rear delt flies. And then we did pictures. So try that workout out, enjoy. And now we are going to hit up the Jameson whiskey factory and make Max drink some whiskey. It's going to be very Irish.
Grandpa's old cough syrup.
All right, update. Uh, making a mess already. Uh, too hungry, guys, so we're getting some meals in. Max is having fajita chicken and greens. I'm having the chicken stir-fry. So we're gonna eat this now, quick meal, and then we're gonna make our way to the Jameson Factory into town and see what this tour consists of.
Those jeans tight enough, Rob?
Uh, no, they could actually do a little tightening up. So they're actually not jeans, they're just spray-on, they're just spray paint.
Cheers!
Hit Murphy's Pub, man. You should come with us.
Lads, come here. You don't want me tagging along, you know what I mean? Used to be too slow for me.
All right, here we go. It's actually— this is great having Max here because it makes me do things that I wouldn't usually do despite living in Dublin. Like, I've never been to the Jameson Factory, so It's going in.
Drink some whiskey, dude. Get the first reaction. Yeah, Jameson. I drink no whiskey, strictly vodka.
Shouldn't say that. So what's the first thing on the list?
So it's just basically, it's a cocktail masterclass. So you come in, there's the guy Kieron, he's going to be taking us. He's great crack. And yeah, basically you make 3 different cocktails. One whiskey sour, one old-fashioned, and then you make a punch like whatever in your room.
My name is Karen and I'm delighted to be your host for the next hour and a half.
Killing it.
Sweet.
I'm not a whiskey drinker.
We're gonna have to make him a whiskey drinker by the end. I'd be like, let's go to the bar after this, get sloshed.
Let's just hold the barrels over an open flame to give them extra charring. This would have been done originally, we're just giving them an extra kind of double char.
Are we watching you or are we doing it as we go first?
But you can fill your glass now.
All the way to the top.
So don't be shy.
Yeah, all right, in we go. Egg whites gains. There we go, it's my protein hit for the day. And then the bitter.
And then pour, pour this into the big one.
Yeah, you're just going to seal them in, then you're going to— oh yeah, oh yeah, first maybe 5 seconds, right? You get that piece here though.
Oh yeah, killed it! Oh, Max is winning! Wait, wait. Oh, there you got it. There you go. I win, dude. Oh my God.
Oh, we'll see who looks the best. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Freaking lemon peel.
Max is doing this.
That's what you're aiming for.
My lemon peel does not look that good, but I'm about to put lemon juice into it.
Sure, I spit more lemon juice.
Yeah.
Not bad, not bad.
Yeah, made a mess of that one.
Yeah, no, I put a little bit of wine in. Cheers, lads. Cheers. I think you win.
I might have done this before.
Yeah, cheers, Dennis. That's lovely.
That's lovely. Don't say that.
That is just lovely.
Lovely.
All it took was egg white mixed drink.
Yeah, yeah.
He's converted.
That was— that is delicious.
Yeah, there's more whiskey in that than you have to deserve.
Did you hear that? We're making alcoholic Eddie.
Yeah, I wonder why they started making cocktails. Like, you know what, alcohol tastes like shit.
Like, let's put some nice stuff with it.
50% of guys were like, yeah, I can take drinks all day, and then the other 50% are like, nah. Yeah, they're 50 years. Something we got to do to this.
Yeah, a bit of our orange.
Glass.
Oh yeah, same.
Nice little bit. And we're going to squeeze, we get some of those— all those orange oils. Twist and drop. Done.
Small, easy. Bon appétit. Don't, don't tell— I'm going to get expelled from whiskey school.
Another And then we add just a nice whisk and kick the end. Yeah.
Okay, hold on.
Hate the way Mark's racist.
It's like, I'm sorry, it's like, can we actually have a good time?
Can we just get along?
Oh, I forgot to do my little taste test. I'm just gonna trust it.
See? Yeah, yeah, take your time. Yeah. Push-ups. Sweet. Is it too sweet for you? It's not too sweet, but it's—
Pussy.
Yeah, come on, that's solid. Yeah, I like that. There's a, you know, a good bit of whiskey in there. Thoughts? Definitely stronger than the last one.
That was better.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I feel like these are the type of drinks I need to order when I'm like trying to be more mature.
Yeah, because—
no, no, no, not, not because it's more of a you know, cooler drink, but because I wouldn't get as smashed because I wouldn't want to chug them so fast. These I'd want to sip on.
Yeah, that's true.
Not with like, with my Moscow Mule, my vodka mixture, and someone's like, all right, boom, boom, done, another one.
Yeah, yeah, they're like, they're like nice shots.
Oh shit, okay, I was just kidding, but yeah, bring it on.
Oh yeah, no, yeah, why not?
And this one's gonna be like the more professional one, right? Yeah, this is gonna be like, it tastes way better.
Yeah, I want to taste how it's really going. Yeah.
This is the best.
I think that's the worst. Yeah, yeah, I think, I think ours are so bad they're good. Yeah, yours is so good it's bad.
I was actually kind of disappointed when you made yours. It was like when you poured it, it was like to the perfect brim, and I made mine, it was like to right there.
Yeah, it was like, where are you?
Rob, how's your, uh, experience thus far, man?
Uh, it's actually great. I feel a lot more Irish now because I've never actually been here before, so that's kind of like a disgrace to fellow Irishmen. So yeah, you're embarrassing a long time ago, but yeah, so I'm having a great time.
Yeah, well, actually, Rob made all of his, uh, they're virgin versions. Yeah, just like Rob.
Yeah, sorry, excuse me.
How's your drinks, man?
It's good.
It doesn't taste as nice as—
or as professional.
Yeah, I've done it once or twice before.
Just once or twice.
Get on that Nutri-Quick. Yeah, yeah, Ed, you got some protein for this?
I thought it was just like a whiskey term. Actually, it's punch. Who spiked the punch?
Us.
Zest it, dude.
Okay, I'm gonna zest. Zest on them. Right, King's zest right here, right? This moldy looking blender. It's an ancient blender. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Hasn't been washed in years. Before electricity was even invented. Yeah. He was from the future.
Where's the zest, dude?
I'm waiting on it.
Okay, okay, okay, there we go.
Bro, I'm not gonna lie, this is the worst zesting ever seen!
Okay, let's see you do it—
No no no no no... My hands are full dude! Sorry, sorry, I gotta drink bro!
"I cannot zest anymore captain!" Yeah?
I need more power!
I think my lemon's broken.
Ahhh...
How many zests do I need? 'Kay, right... That one was bigger than mine. I knew that there was something wrong with the lemon. Yeah, it was the lemon, not me. Oh yeah, oh, that is good.
Oh, oh, that's a sick squeeze. We escort her, escort her.
You're not saying that on YouTube.
I'm talking about the lemon. What are you doing, dude?
This is a good healthy drink. Apple juice and lemon, we're getting our 5 a day in here. A full nog of whiskey. Yeah, yeah.
So Irish Bees made that, right?
Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah, make money in double time. Sick angles, bro.
Sick angles. That's trademarked, so Watch it, my laurels will be in touch.
He can drink the rest, I don't mind.
All right, how much of this?
Force it in.
Full thing?
Force it in.
All right. Oh yeah, dude, 4 of us, you're coming with us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pre-workout blend. So we just— this scooper in, uh, is there a way to scoop it in? I, I like— I feel I'm just going to miss completely.
Sláinte!
Yeah, sláinte! Well done, lads.
If I use straws, I just keep going.
So I don't want to—
it's the best choice.
Damn!
Not blowing my own whistle, that is amazing.
That is good.
That is very good.
It's like, uh, alcoholic lemonade. It's like whiskey lemonade. Yeah, it's like whiskey-lade.
It's like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's invited. Professional photographer over here. Yeah, increase the brightness on this. He's done this before. Great to meet you, bro. Thank you.
Yeah.
What day is it? What year is it? No, but seriously, that was a lot of fun, and it's a beautiful day again. Max's reaction to drinking whiskey— we converted him.
I— there's a hair on my chest. My first hair on my chest.
Now officially a Jameson fan and an alcoholic too. But, uh, so we're gonna go get something to eat now and just hang around Dublin because we're pretty central. Enjoy that. It was good, man.
Yeah, I'm glad we went with the, uh, the mixed drink tour rather than the history tour.
Oh man, history tour would be lame.
I was worried it was gonna be like, like just like, like 15, like, you know, half ounces of like tasting.
I know. Yeah, yeah, but that was fun.
Like, and the guy was making—
oh yeah, the guy was a legend. This guy, that was like, hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go. Smash the camera into the ground. Camera's like 5 grand, no one take it off, please.
Chicken fillet or pork?
Ninja!
Oh, brilliant. Thank you. Get that corn out of my face!
What movie is that from, dude?
I do not know.
Get that corn out of my It's meat in a box because meat box.
So we are at Meat Wagon. It's near the Jameson Distillery and we got meat in a box and with corn and slaw. That looks so good. I'm gonna enjoy this now.
I have no idea what's actually in this.
I know it looks like gains though.
It's just like, if I describe it, it'd be like meat in a box.
Hey, that makes sense.
Got jokes in the bed.
So Max has never had a refresher in his life.
In America, we— they give like mints or chocolate. They give candy after.
Yeah, we get mints normally. Grow up on this shit.
Very hard.
Get into it though. Okay, yeah, chew it better, dude. They're pretty good. It's like a— give it a while.
It's like a Laffy Taffy.
Yeah, that's what they are. Yeah. So that concludes an epic day.
That—
probably one of the best collabs that you've ever watched in your life. Okay, so we had deadlifts, we had—
we—
yeah, we had deadlifts, we had whiskey drinking, we had food, we had a bit of Dublin in there. We had a lot. There was This was like a great day. I'm gonna call this vlog Whiskey and Deadlifts featuring Max Tuna.
When was the last time that you ever did deadlifts on your channel? Um, I do a lot of rack pulls, proper deadlifts. He wasn't doing YouTube last time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, YouTube wasn't invented. Yeah, so it's been a while, so I hope you like that. Uh, we actually worked up some decent numbers, not Max's standard, but you know. So we're gonna wrap this vlog up here, and so me and Max We do have an event in Raw Gym on Friday at 6 PM. I put that on my Instagram story.
