I highly recommened purchasing a program such as ICMizer or holdemresourcescalculator.
As far as calculating things manually, this may help.
Calculating a shove- situation is bb= 100 and hero is on the button with 98s General estimate is that villains in Sb and bb will be calling with ~20%. Enter in 89s vrs 20% in pokerstove or http://www.propokertools.com/simulations and you will see we have 36.6% equity when called. Hero has 1k at bb= 100 Effective stack - 1000 Estimated equity when called = 36.6% Pot size= 150 (bb+sb) Facing bet - 100 (the bb folding around to us) If input properly, you will see that villain needs to fold 63% of the time In calculating how often we are getting called since we are shoving into two opponents and not just one. Multiply the %'s of the time they are folding by eachother. So for example, since we have both villains calling 20% of the time, they are folding 80% of the time each. You do .8 x .8 = 64%. They only need to fold 63% of the time, therefore this is a profitable shove.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'true' big blinds, but pretty much the only effective way to learn about appropriate shoving ranges is to use ICMIZER or HoldemResources Calculator, as mentioned above. You don't need a video series or any other kind of measurement tools such as 'true big blinds' or M, you just need to spend a lot of time going over preflop spots in ICMIZER and getting good at estimating what constitutes a good shoving range in each spot. There's no shortcut.
