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 with Ronnie Coleman Signature Series Resurrect-PM

What's up people! Another supplement review today.  Another Ronnie Coleman Signature Series product. This time I bring you the RCSS Resurrect-PM Ultra- Concentrated Sleep and Recovery Formula.








Product: RCSS Resurrect-PM

Type :Sleep and recovery formula

General overview:



 Check it :
1 scoop= 8grams give you 4cal, 0g sugar, 0g fat and only 1g of carb(too little to make any significant changes to your body, you're good)

1scoop gives you Zinc, Magnesium and B6= ZMA, so you can save money by not buying a separate ZMA blend if you already are. The dosage in this bad boy is sufficient. 

This stuff is made up of two main matrices/proprietary blend which is R.E.M. (Rapid Eye Movement) Mass and  Growth Hormone Optimizers and the other matrix is LMT(Lean Muscle Tissue) Recovery Matrix. 

The R.E.M.  Mass and  Growth Hormone Optimizers contains pretty standard ingredients. Design to relax your body and it's typical in most sleeping aid formula. L-arginine also promotes growth hormone just so you know.
The LMT Recovery Matrix which has creatine gluconate which is basically creatine bonded with glucose molecule and the other ingredient is the infamous Hica. increases the synthesis of protein
It's not a cheap ingredient. So Ronnie Coleman is not playing games when he says you'll be building some muscles when you're sleeping. 

Instructions: 
1scoop(8grams) in water, shake it up and chug it down. Do this 30 minutes before bed and on an empty stomach. 
Suggest usage is 5 days on and 2 days off meaning the 5 days should be your workout days. What I do is take it 4 days and 3 days off. to stretch the supplement because I'm broke. I usually take it from Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the other 4 days off. Why? Because those are my workout days.  
Personal comment:

     I actually like this stuff. Initially, I thought it would be bull and I shouldn't have wasted my money on this thing. For the first few trials of this product, I didn't feel a thing. I don't go to sleep any easier nor do I get the best sleep. So I thought this was a flop.

    After using this stuff for about 3 weeks now, I actually feel the effects of the product after taking it for about a week and a half. I find that I do sleep better and I have more energy in the gym becasue of that sleep. However I also find that waking up is harder. This stuff knocks me out and I get up feeling super groggy but it gets better. So this stuff is really cool in my books 

my bummed out fingers are seen.


   As you can see in the photo, the tub looks half empty, right? Wrong, the tub is actually three quarters empty. When I opened this stuff at first I was excited because I got a free Myo-Blitz sample, Yayyy!! But then I looked at the bottom, it's only a quarter filled. I was like, shit, bums me out man. I know that all supplements are packed by its weight not the container size. But as a buyer when you see three quarters of an empty tub you'll be bummed out. 
 

Taste, mix-ability and texture :

    Let's start with the taste. First off, the Blue Razz Dream, I wasn't dreaming after drinking this. The taste of Blue Razz Dream is kinda horrible, not as good as expected. The sensacool tech did not help make it taste better. Lucky for me I had the Blue Razz Dream as my sample packet. The Midnight Grape however, is pretty good. At first it tastes kinda funky, but you'll get used to it. You'll be surprised that you'll come to like it. So, I really like the Midnight Grape, I recommend that flavour.


Blue liquid with a little bit of foam on top. Both flavours are blue.

    Mix ability won't be that much of an issue because, it mixes quite well. you'll see some granules sink to the bottom, those are probably the creatine gluconate. Texture wise; flavoured water. 


8 grams scoop size


[Scoop Size]:


Where can you get it? : You can get this product at Musclemaniaclub.com and fitlion.com
Musclemaniaclub is selling it at RM116.00 while Fitlion is selling it at Rm120.00. Musclemania club is cheaper but Fitlion has a great bundle pack. 



I'd say that this is a fantastic product and quite worth your investment. SO   Get Dem Big with Ronnie Coleman Signature Series Resurrect-PM


Sincerely, 
Dom

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 with Big Plans

Get Dem Big with Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard

Hey Awesome People!!! It's the Ninja!!! Nahhh, It's me from Team Get Dem Big and Today I bring another Optimum Nutrition product. It's ON-mania here in the Get Dem Big Team!

        Today I got another review for Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard *** with the bling YO!!!  ON 100% Whey Gold Standard is the bomb in the supplement industry. World's Best Selling Whey Protein for God knows how long. Everybody who is at the gym wants one! I myself used close to 10, 5lbs tubs and a couple of 2 lbs tubs. It's a favourite.

So here are the Details of this product




Product: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard

Type :Whey Protein 

General overview:
 

Check it; Low cal, low carb, low fat, high protein shake. Great for anytime of the day. 
        1 scoop(31g) gives you 24g protein. Consist of whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and whey peptides (protein molecules that are broken down even smaller for fast and easy absorbtion). 
       More Than 5 Grams of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) Leucine, Isoleucine & Valine in Each Servin

Great stuff!

Instructions:1 scoop in +/- 200ml of water or your favourite beverage anf you're good to go. 

Personal comment: 

     This is my favourite protein. This was actually the second protein supplement I took after finishing the awful Horley's Essential Whey. Total bullshit. I was on this ON 100% Whey for about 2 years before I experiment with other brands like Dymatize, Mutant, Ronnie Coleman Signature Series and other. Another reason why I stopped using this is because it's not the cheapest protein out there. I'm on a tight budget and paying RM190.00 for a bucket of protein shake is just too expensive for me. I can get a good quality protein at a slightly lower price. Unfortunately because I'm broke I have to stop using this for a long time.

    I used to take this about 2-3 times a day. Breakfast, post-workout and before bed. 

   I have nothing bad to say about this protein except if you leave you shaker bottle unwashed after you drink this, it will stink pretty bad. That's about it. I've tried many flavours and every single one of them is pretty good. My personal favourite is Double Chocolate, Extreme Milk Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Caramel Toffee Fudge and Mocha Cappuccino. They all taster great in just plain COLD water.  I highlighted cold because some of these flavours don't really taste good in room temperature water. I think a lot of protein shakes don't taster good in Cold water. hmmmmm... But they all taste excellent with cold Milk! Yeah, awesome shit.

Taste, mix-ability and texture :

    This stuff mixes extremely easy. Put it in water about 2 or 3 shakes later, it's gone, dissolved nothing sinks to the bottom unless it's cookies and creams than it has some cookie crumbs. This stuff taste great and they come in so many flavours. The texture depends on the amount of water you mix it with. It can get a bit runny But it's all good.

[Scoop Size]: the 1st scoop which is 31grams


Where can you get it? :
      You can get it at whypaymorenutritions.com for RM184.00, Fitlion and Musclemaniaclub for RM185.00. Fitlion and Musclemania club have more flavours, you can play around with different flavours


This is my take on this supplement. Truly one of my favourites from ON which is a superb company. 

So Get Dem Big with Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard

Eugene

Get Dem Big With Optimum Nutrition Platinum Pre-

Hey Guys!! Today I bring Platinum Pre- to the table.



Like I said before in the Myo-Blitz review I'm not a fan of Pre-Workouts, because I just don't feel it. Well with Platinum Pre- surprisingly I actually liked it. Not that I'm gonna spend like RM 170 for a tub. Here's the info for Optimum Nutrition Platinum Pre-

Product:  Optimum Nutrition Platinum Pre-

Type :Pre- Workout

General overview:

Check it: 
It has L-Citrulline which helps dilate your blood vessels and give you a good pump. 
It has DMAE Bitartrate at 250g, this help you focus.
Their Phytoblend as you can see above, they are there to give you natural energy that is long lasting probably throughout the day. 
Another funny thing is the capsicum extract that helps you with heating up your body burn more fat.    
Instructions: 
8 grams or 1 scoop of this stuff in the blender bottle, throw in some water and chug it down. Finally workout.

Personal comment: 

      You know what like I said earlier, I like this product. Not because it had an enormous affect on me but I like the taste. Like the Myo-Blitz, I took 1 sachet 30min before work-out and I took the other sachets throughout my work-out Separate workouts of course. Know what? I did feel some buzz but I know it was from the caffeine. This didn't give me heart burns though. I actually prefer to take it throughout my workout. Why? Because this expensive piece of coolaid tastes great. It is really like a refreshing lemonade raspberry concoction. I really liked it. 

     There is this one odd thing with this stuff man, I got to say. There are granules that doesn't dissolve and when you chew on them, it is spicy stuff in your mouth. It's like eating a chili only not so hot. Warning, it may get stuck in your teeth and you chew on it during your sets. So don't freak out, stay calm and don't drop the weights. Coz it might kill you. kidding. 

The only time I brought a pink drink to the gym. I think...

   

       Another thing I like about this by ON is the marketing and the way they purpose this product. Check the advertisement below. Seriously cool and motivational. I think it was really smart that ON promote it in such a way by reaching out to the audience and using an endorsed athlete who is in the game that know the meaning PRE-. Steve Cook is a good athlete. This is the upper hand that ON has brought to the table, this is probably why people buy/will buy Pre-.


We all buy products not because of what they do but "WHY" they do it. And I think that ON has shown it in this video. I can be honest and say that this is the only youtube advertisement that I looked up for. Unfortunately I won't be buying it anytime soon because I'm low on cash.

Taste, mix-ability and texture : 
Taste great, as it say on the label, you'll get Raspberry Lemonade. 
Mixes quite well, and there will be granules that sinks to the bottom and those are probably the spicy stuff. Texture is like your regular water. 



Where can you get it? :
You can get it at a number of places, whypaymorenutritions.com, musclemaniaclub.com and fitlion.com are the two places that sells them. whypaymorenutritions.com  sells it at RM110.00 which is the cheapest. Musclemania is 2nd cheapest at RM120.00 but it's out of stock. 

All in all I like this stuff and what it stands for. 

So Get DEm Big with Optimum Nutrition Platinum Pre- !!

Dom
