Our journey starts here! Starts now! Illia starts with the goal of 360lbs to 370lbs not knowing he is going to smash it and increase his goal. He doesn't know how long its going to take, but he's confident that he will get there. Just as Rich showed us in the original Bigger By The Day, here Illia is going to show us his cycle, daily routine of eating, working out, eating, rest, eating, supplementation, eating oh and did we mention eating?!

The biggest key here is you have to eat big to get big. Follow along, take in as much information you can and apply it to your regimen. This is going to be EPIC! Road to 380! Let's goooooo!

ROAD TO 380: WEEK 4

367lbs. That's where we are starting our week 4 episode today. Believe it or not, that's down a little from where he was at. Don't worry, it's normal. If you're doing this right, the more you work out and exercise the more fat and water weight you will lose while gaining muscle. This only motivates you.

We hope you're following along. If you are on a cycle, do so responsibly, you can't just take steroids and get huge. You still have to bust your butt in the gym harder than you ever have before. With a little help from food, motivation, supplements and genetics. You will be seeing some results.

ROAD TO 380: WEEK 5

After 4 weeks, it happened. Illia has reached the goal of 370lbs. What!?! INSANE!!!! Monsters DO Exist. Do you think he's going to stop there? Hell no. Just getting started. Time to bump this goal up to 380. Some may call him crazy, we call him GOLEM!

In this episode, we are taken through the ringer. I feel bigger, stronger (and tired) after watching this one. He maxed out the leg machine so he stacked bodies on top. Yes, they are alive, but DANG! It's getting crazier and crazier!

ROAD TO 380: WEEK 6

New week and he's still growing. 3 more pounds since last week. Today, arm training. Illia doesn't just show you and let you figure it out yourself. No. In every episode he is putting a full text breakdown of his workout so you can follow along. Don't try to do HIS workout. Amend it to what you can handle but leave enough to push yourself past your limits.

A couple things to note on this episode and honestly, in all of your workouts. Form is important but to focus growth on certain parts of your muscles, cheat reps are key.

ROAD TO 380: WEEK 7

It's been storming, rainy and cold in Miami. Instead of allowing the conditions to bring him down. Illia uses this as motivation to push hard. On that note, its leg day. Circuit training on squats is the big hitter today. Starting with low weight and gets up to 330lbs and back down, high bar, wide stance and going deep. That will tear some legs up. Watch this one!

ROAD TO 380: WEEK 8

This week starts with the daily consistent 2,000 calorie shake before the workout then its off to the gym for shoulders. The calories don't stop there. After he gets home it's another 2,000 calories shake which includes the brand spankin' new REAL CARBS + Protein Banana Nut Bread flavor....MMMmmmm. Now it's time to eat. How does this sound? 350g of Salmon filets, rice, and some salsa. Then it's 2.5 lbs of steak, rice, cheese and salsa. Sounds good right? Well he doesn't just tell you. He shows you how he cooks it. What's almost better than watching a monster eat? Watching a monster cook!

Let's do this!

ROAD TO 380: WEEK 9

Illia starts this week with showing some of the supplements he uses. Yes, they are 5% Nutrition products, but not because he's a sponsored athlete, but because this shit is BANGIN! Real Carbs + Protein, the new SHAKE TIME Real Food Protein, and 5150. Illia say's that 5150 is too much for him, it's just too stong. Ok. We'll take that! Chest day to start off this week.

Have you been to Longhorn steakhouse lately? He loved it so much that he talks about it like he's sponsored by Longhorn. We aren't worried though. Then on to Miami Beach. We have a riddle for you, what do you call a monster in the ocean? A sea monster! Ok, terrible, I know. Just watch this and you'll

understand.#BiggerByTheDay #RoadTo380 #IlliaGolem

ROAD TO 380: WEEK 10

Well, here we are. Last episode. We get to see a little bit more into the life and personality of Illia GOLEM. This episode reminds us of the big boss, Rich. "You have to start now, nothing is going to be given to you, you have to go and take it."

Illia reaches his 380lbs but this is not his ideal weight. Not the weight he feels comfortable at so he drops back down immediately to 370+. "It's hard to carry around that much weight and feel good". But the battle has been won, and in true 5%ER fashion. This was an amazing journey and we are excited to see what's next for the

MONSTER.#BiggerByTheDay #RoadTo380 #IlliaGolem
