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!!

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 by setting GOALS

What up good people!! Today we are back with the topic of goal setting. Some might ask what's so hard about setting a goal? Some might even ask are goals even necessary?! Sometime there are questions like, what the hell is a goal? Two poles where you kick a ball through?!


     Look at it this way, say you're playing football, the goal is where you want to get to. Unfortunately the goal is on the other side of the field and to get there you need to go through all the other players.

     Similar to life, to get to your goal you need to go through all kinds of bullshit. However, your personal goals is/will not be as clear as the one on the field. To tell you the truth I've lived most of my life without a goal and I don't know what I want. I can say that I've been doing things for the sake of doing it and every time without fail I was living up to other people's expectation and when I fail, I get screwed. Not until when I was in college, got screwed by people and pushed around that I became a f**king renegade. It was the happiest realization i had, I just don't give a shit about what other people think what is best for me.

Let me help you by getting to your goal with these questions. In this case, starting to exercise or getting in shape. These questions can also be used in other context.
1. What are you expectations towards your self?
2.  What do you want to achieve? (give tangible qualities: How you feel? How much weight have you lost? Are you a stronger version of yourself? etc)
3. Why is all this important to you?

"If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Important things to take note;
i) Why are you doing this??
It is very important to know WHY you are doing something. Don't think of something superficial. find the deeper why.
ii) How are you going to do this?!
Find ways of doing what you want to do. There are many ways but all you need is one that is FOR YOU
iii) What are you willing to do to get what you want?!
Whatever it is, just DO something. 

Lastly, never ever lose sight of your goal. You will get what you want in time, but you have to go through HELL for that.

I hope this helps you in achieving whatever you want to achieve in any aspects of your life.

 "What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?? "

Get your ASS up and DO IT!!

Sincerely
Eugene
