Get Dem Big with Inner Armour Muscle Peak

What's up people!

I bring you another protein supplement review. Today I have for you hailing from Inner Armour!!  

Inner Armour Muscle Peak

Inner Armour dubbed itself as the Most powerful supplements in the world.  And I have not much to argue there because some of their stuff is really potent. Like their Hard Mass. That shit is crazy. Anyway, since nobody has done a review on this product, so I thought I'd give it a go after finishing a tub of this stuff.

Product: Inner Armour Muscle-Peak

Type : Whey Protein 

General overview:

 

Check it:

Recommended serving size: 2 scoops (44g per scoop). 

Per serving you'll get 50g of protein, 390 cal, 34g of carbs and 6g of fats. 

In this Human Growth Factor Nitro Index (HGFI) Blend you have you BCAAs (Laucune, Isoleucine and Valine), Creatine Monohydrate, WPC, WPI and some MCTs. These are the good stuff you'll be getting from this product. Doesn't say how much they have all these stuff in there. 

This product also includes an Enzyme called Amino-Peak Amino Acid Spiking Polypeptide Comples which basically contains peptidase. This is to break the protein faster and makes absorption faster. 

Instructions:2 scoops (88g) in COLD water or milk or any beverage of your choice and chug it down. 

*Personally I go with 1 scoop in the morning, post workout and before bed. Remember to get your protein from other sources and do not depend solely on supplements*

Personal comment:

      I like this product mainly because it's cheap and it delivers good amounts of protein per scoop. It's one of the cheapest protein supplement out there, at RM 145.00 and it has good stuff in there as stated. However, there are somethings that I don't quite like. Their  HGFI Blend, they say that it has all of those ingredients but they didn't state how much. I would like to know if I'm taking in 5g of creatine monohydrate or BCAAs etc. I would prefer a more specific macros. For me, creatine is very important and I want to make sure that I'm getting my daily dosage of creatine or BCAAs; thus I look for supplements that gives me everything in one tub. I'm a tracks and  field athlete and a power lifter. I don't have it in my budget to buy a separate tub of BCAAs because this shit is expensive.

 

Taste, mix-ability and texture :

     First of the taste, I had chocolate and the taste was not that good. In fact I prefer Mutant Whey's taste better. It's like your standard chocolate protein powder but the great tasting ones. Warning: Drink this only with cold water or cold milk. If you mix it in room temperature water, it doesn't taste very good and the after taste is quite unpleasant.

Texture wise it's like your hot-chocolate or Milo. Mix-ability is great. Put it in water and shake it hard and good and you're set. 

The scoop is smaller then I expected because it says 44g.

Where can you get it? : you can get it at Whypaymorenutritions and musclemaniaclub. Whypaymorenutritions sells it cheaper at RM140.00 while musclemaniaclub sells it at RM148.00. Unfortunately both of these online stores are sold out. 

Aside form the taste, this is really a good product and I would actually go back to this product after I finish my Ronnie Coleman Pro-Antium. I like this product.

Get Dem Big Weekends Motivation Series 2

 Hey Guys!!

This is a great motivational video made by the guys at ImPossible Training. This video is simply amazing. I thought this video showcased the human capability to do whatever it takes to succeed not only in your workouts but in your life as well. These words can be associated with your life's achievements and failures. Forcing you to be humble in your achievements and learn from your failures. I've transcribed the speech for this video. check it out. 

"Imagine if you were blind. 
Complete darkness, no colors, no view, no beauty.
Just pitch black. 
If you were blind ask yourself how badly you'd want to SEE. 
If pushing yourself to your limits could give you sight? 
Would you do it?
If there was a cure would you let anything stand in your way?
Would you risk the haters and the critics to see again?
Do you really want to succeed? 
Would you really care if they mocked you, laughed at you, pointed at you or bad mouthed you? 
Would you be concerned about your extreme goals?
Or just embrace the extreme work
What if you had to learn hurt, trust pain and embrace struggle, would you still be concerned with being realistic? 
Would you still figure your odds and calculate your chances? 
If you had to spend more time, planning your workouts and less time planning your weekends, would it be a tough choice?
If the cure for blindness was humility and pain, would you go for it?
If the cure for blindness was looking foolish, would you risk it? 
If seeing again took a fight, would you start swinging? 
If the cure was doing things you can’t do, would you attempt them? 
If a few extra hours, a few more drops of sweat and a little bit more blood was all it took would you claim your sight? 
Do you really want to succeed?
Then choose to be blind and do whatever it takes to see, because if you don't then you're just blind anyway."


      I thought that this video brought out a creative perspective on what we are willing to do to succeed in life. Using the analogy of equating blindness and the lengths we are willing to go to to get our sight back is with what we are willing to do to succeed in life. Because if we do nothing, then nothing's going to change. If you are reading this then I believe that you still have your sight. What if you go blind? (God forbid) You know the wonders and the blessing of having your sight. Wouldn't you fight or die trying to regain your sight?

We at Get Dem Big wants you to have what you deserve and not settle for what you don't.

Have a great weekend and GET DEM BIG!!

Sincerely, 

Get Dem Big Team

Get Dem Big with Big Plans

What's up guys!!

 I'm going to touch on Big Plans particularly to Gem Dem Big.


Believe it or not we have plans for everything, life, money, partners, friends, career and the other nine yards. Unfortunately, to get in shape and healthy you'll need a plan also; Fortunately the PLAN to get in shape and healthy is or it should be a simple plan. Life is complicated enough with us living other people's plan or your other plans going to the dump.  Speaking of plans, nowadays if you're young, still figuring out what you want to do and you go up to someone saying you have NO plans. This would be their reaction man.

No future plans??!! You're about to cross some fuckin' lines

So, I'm going to give you the simplest plan for your complicated life to get in shape and be healthy.

Here are 3 things that you need to plan for yourself.

1) Plan your workout time. Come one, 45mins to 1 hour a day is only 5% of your day. You can definitely hit the gym or get your ass down to a home workout. Simplest thing, start walking for 20 minutes every single day or start with 10 pushups everyday. Small daily improvements will lead to long term results. I have my proper workouts 3 times a week about an hour every session.


2) Plan your workouts. Alright when you're in the gym, you'd really want to optimize your whatever time you have allocated in the gym. Go in, hit it hard and leave. Keep the rest time short too. I still remember that 1 semester in school, Mondays training which focuses on my back and core strength.. My class ends at 3.00pm, I head to the gym at 4.45 pm because the gym opens at 5pm. I leave that place at 6.15 on the dot. Why? Because I planned out what I wanted to do and I had my trials and errors to figure out what's best for me and I optimized it. So, as an example of what I did. 

6 sets of 10s: Deadlift, Seated V-bar cable rows and Lat pulldowns . Back to back on all this bitches with absolutely no rest. After I complete all 3 of this shit. I counted to 30 and restart until I finished. After these shit I go on to other shit like my arms for example until I did my time or until it was 6.15 at least.

This is why planning your workouts is important because similarly we don't have all the time in the world to train. I  had some other shit i had to deal with at 7.00pm so I get my shit done! I did this for 6 months and I rarely miss my workout. In fact, i had this situation at every session. I only have an hour in the gym and that's about it. I went through it with a mindset of knowing what to hit before going to the gym.


3) Plan your food. Your diet is important when you're raining, you need the energy and calories to get you big. Based on what are your goals are. if you want to bulk then get yourself a shit load of food in you. Your food can be simple. It should consist of Carbs, protein and vegetables. Simple as that.. Here are some videos that has some good shit about your food intake and how you can prepare them ahead of time.
BULKING ON A BUDGET #4 - Jr. Bodybuilder Nick Wright - MEAL PREP 
or you can check this cool rendition from sixpackshortcuts Healthy Meal Time (Epic Meal Time Parody) 


From my experience, I live on campus, so I can't prepare my own food  What I did was go the food stalls before lunch hour, brought my Tupperwares because I am environmental friendly and bought my food. A whole days worth of food. I had 1 cup of white rice( coz I couldn't get brown rice), lots of veges and lots of meat. (any kind of meat) . I ate about 4 meals a day and I drink 2 shakes. I spend about RM15.00 a day for these kinda food everyday. I want to get big so no excuses.     

This is a sample of one of my meals

So here are my simple plans to get in shape and for my case I want to get big. Planing is important in every aspects of our lives. This includes fitness. Like it or nor if you want to get the body you always wanted, you need to plan so that you can optimize your time and potential. It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as you have a rough plan, DO IT! Of course it plans will blow up in your face! When that happens don't just abandon the plan! F**k your plans up. Make it do-able for you, improvise and adapt it to your life. Make it work for you!

 

Make sure this time you do it for yourself. You plan for yourself. You owe it to yourself!!

Paste this on your wall and keep all these in mind!!

With everything that is happening in your life, I dare say that these are the simplest plans and one of the best things you can plan for YOURSELF. NO EXCUSES

Get Dem Big Body Fat??

Hey good people,

I got a good question from a dude at the gym. He asked me how to get big and gain muscles fast. I think this question is all over the internet and youtube. He could just google it and tonnes of answers will appear, magically.Anyways, I would like to put my thoughts out there as well.

     First off, getting "BIG", this is on basically everyone's mind when they hit the gym. One thing that people don't usually get is, what is big? Being muscular like Ronnie Coleman is big, heck he's freaking huge, and then there is being fat, which is also big.

    For a skinny person, or an Ectomorph if you will. Generally skinny, fast metabolism, and a classic hard gainer. For this kind of person, getting big is to hit the gym but more importantly EAT. For Asians, we typically have 3 large meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well here's the million dollar secret to get bigger!! Are you ready? Bump up your meals up to 6 or 7 times a day. Sounds crazy?? Hey you wanna get big, got to EAT BIG TO GET BIG man. Of course I'm not saying that your all of your 6 to 7 meals have to be as big as your meals 3 times a day. Hell NO, you would explode by the end of the day. Have 6 to 7 small meals, your meal size should probably be your fist size or slightly over. You want to some math? Here's some math for your meals.

Assume your Basic Metabolic rate (MR) is about 2000J

This is when you have your 3 meals per day. Lets say that per meal, you're eating 600 calories per meal. Therefore;

1 meal = 600 cal
3 meals= 1800cal

So by the end of the day, after all that 3 meals, you still have a remaining of 200 from your metabolic rate. Guess where it goes. It consumes your stored fats or worst, it consumes muscles.  

Now if you have 6 meals per day. 400 cals per meal

1 meal=400cal
6 meals= 2400 cals.

With 400 cals remaing in your body, you're gold man.


      With these 6-7 meals a day will be a shock to your metabolism. Since your eating more frequent than usual, your metabolism has to keep up with you. Someone actually told me that doing this will cause your metabolism to be tired because of the constant eating and thus your metabolism can die. Bullshit!! Eating 6-7 time at a frequency of 2-2.5 hours interval will cause your MR to be at a constant rate throughout the day. Plus if your metabolism dies, you die. Your metabolism will be "tired" and die if you constantly eat shit(unhealthy foods)  all the time. Your meals should be simple consisting of veges, carbs and protein. Personally, my meals are green veges, chicken breast/beef/fish and brown rice/potatoes. That/s it, simple stuff man. Life is complicated enough, make other things simple.

     What skinny guys eat is a different story. You can choose between a clean bulk or a partially dirty bulk. I will never recommend a Full Dirty Bulk because you will suffer. Clean Bulk consist of healthy clean foods like what I stated in the last paragraph, green veges, chicken breast/beef/fish and brown rice/potatoes or a partially dirty bulk which is still eating what is stated but you have several cheat meals throughout the week. Maybe 6-8 meals out of the 42 meals per week are Big Macs with fries or mac and cheese. You know, just eating whatever that is in front of your face.

To make it short if you want to gain weight, just google a calculator for your Basic Metabolic Rate, calculate your BMR and add in a another 400 to 500. Don't go above that.


So here's the rational of doing the above. you want to get a BIG BODY. Well the truth is, you won't get big with muscles alone, muscles don't grow like mushrooms. Arnold Schwarzenegger once said that if you gain 10lbs(5kg) of muscle a year, you're doing everything right. That means eating clean, sleeping more than 8 hours per day and constantly working out throughout the whole year. Yup, you and me ain't doing this right now. That's why we need the help of FAT to appear bigger. You think by drinking all those mass gainers is gonna get you 10lbs of muscles. Hell NO, Drinking those will get you 9lbs of fat and 1lbs of muscle. Therefore, increasing the amount of fat in your body will definitely make you bigger.


    The above is the eating part, now comes the muscles. It's much easier to explain. The muscles in the body only respond to one thing, stress. So with weight training, you are stressing the muscles, so the muscles respond by getting bigger and stronger after every session. Now, imagine your muscle is like a balloon, you blow a balloon, it get bigger, that's how a balloon respond to stress. Blowing a balloon is like your weight training, you put stress on the muscles. Then the air that goes into the balloon is like your blood pumping into the muscles filling it up with oxygen and nutrients. That's when you'll feel the pump. How does it respond? Both the balloon and your muscles increase in volume. This the famous PUMP  that you feel in the muscles. The tightness and pain you feel. This is where the phrase "No Pain No Gain" comes into play. The pump will make your muscles fuller, engorged and bigger. You will be SWOLE!! The balloon, once you fill it with air, it will deflate so will your muscles once you "lose" the pump, guess what, it "deflates' as well. Difference with muscles are that muscles rebuild, grow stronger, grow thicker with every weight training. Balloons Don't. So NEVER STOP HITTING THE WEIGHTS and you'll SEE and FEEL the RESULTS.

Next time, I'll probably touch on strategic muscles to build to look or appear bigger.

Train Hard, Eat Harder. 

Sincerely,
Eugene

Get Dem Big with Ronnie Coleman Signature Series Part II

Hello people!!

I went through the Ronnie Coleman Signature Series pack and all I have to say is WOW!

      RCSS Pro-antium is freaking unbelievable. First of all the taste is pretty good. I had the vanilla and it tasted like melted vanilla ice-cream only not as thick and not as sweet. It is sweet and even better with the addition of the cookie crumbs. TO be honest it taste like what it says on the label, Vanilla Wafer Crisp, only liquified. The smell of the powder is really good, very fragrant. (will do an in-depth review later.)

See the white bits sticking at the side. Those are the cookie crumbs.

     However, I had my buddy Eugene mix me up some of his Double Chocolate Cookie, and Dang that is some good Chocolate protein. This is the freaking bomb. I'm actually jealous of this dude for getting the chocolate. Tasted like one of those cheat meal high carb, sugary cookie only difference is you can drink this shit all day long without the guilt. Please don't do this, we don't want you to die.
Here's a picture of my chocolate shake. The color is actually darker then what appears, I took this from my phone, It's a Nokia if you're wondering. Both these flavors mixes easily, no problems.

    Based on our few trials with RCSS Choc and Vanilla shake, it's certain that Ronnie Coleman is here to stay and he means business.


     Next, moving on to the RCSS Resurrect-PM, I got the Midnight-grape. This shit was blue, I assumed all grape shakes are purple, but whatever, It's all good. The taste is really weird and quite frankly, as a first timer, it was at the border line of "yuck" to me. After a while it's not that bad. It has that artificial grape flavor that all grape drinks have. This has the sensacool technology that makes this drink has that menthol feeling. You know what after taking this, I felt like I was dead a sleep. I don't know whether It's a placebo effect or the real effects but I think I need to use it more to actually feel it.

Like I said, this shit is blue, and tasted kinda bad but you'll get used to it. It's like drinking cool aid.

      Myo-blitz, the very first pre-workout I have ever tried. I am not a fan of pre-workouts because looking at most it's all sugars and caffeine, so by my books I can get that from black coffee and sugar, much cheaper. I had Fruit Punch Fusion, and man! this shit has some kick. The taste is crazy, with that sensacool and all that. Personally, I liked it because it's ingredients are really good. However, when I go through my training I don't feel any difference and I'm not really sure whether it has any effect. My training usually last about 2 hours maybe more, and it's high intensity strength training.  I'll get back to this on my full review later.

look at this bloody marry. Decent taste like and its like drinking cool aid.

That's all folks, look out for my full reviews coming soon. Train Hard, Live Hard.


Sincerely
Dom

Get Dem Big with Creatine

What's up good people!! We are back and this time we're here to review another supplement: Creatine

          I bet y'all have heard a lot about creatine and its effect, side effect and all that jazz. Here's the deal, we're gonna breakdown the facts of creatine to its bare essentials. We're also putting links which we think have good explanations regarding this creatine topics. 

      Creatine is THE most studied supplement and it being the most studied it has a lot of information out there, so much so that you might get confused

.   

Fact:

1. Creatine reduces fatigue by transporting extra energy into your cells. Energy in the body are ATP(Adenosine triphosphate) and for muscle contraction it breaks off phosphate molecule; thus ATP=>ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). Creatine lends a phosphate molecule to the ADP thus forming ATP. In simpler terms, it is energy recycling. 

2. Creatine pulls water molecule into muscles: thus making muscles look fuller and bigger. 

3. Taking creatine may cause a slight dehydration. Drink more water if you're on creatine. 

4. Creatine does give you additional energy but you won't feel it right away nor would be like a surge of energy through your body. 

5. Creatine may take up to 4 hours to breakdown and for it to work. You might not even feel it work

6. It takes 2 weeks to get your muscles saturated. (Dosage of 5grams/1 teaspoon per day) 

Health precautions. 

Please consult your doctor or get yourself checked out before using creatine. If you don't have any kidney, liver or any health problems for that matter creatine is safe to use. Just dont exceed the recommended dosage perday. Read the instructions on the tub.  

     Here's our take on creatine. we are on creatine for about 7 months and we do feel that it is benefiting us in our training. We just take it with our protein powder in the morning. We'll do a review on our current creatine supplement. We do feel that we have more energy and power in our lifts. Our deadlift and power clean weights has increased at a higher rate compared to when we were training without creatine. I don't know whether the creatine gave us a mental edge or really gave us the physical edge. I can conclude that creatine does not give you a surge of energy like sugar does but it is more on the energy or power within the muscle and you can feel that you have more strength. 

Here are some links that we think are interesting and a good read on Creatine.
