Havent you watched blood in blood out or prison break or oz?
There juicing.

Alexander · 01-13-2007, 06:43 PM

Some definitely juice. I'm sure in most cases they get plenty of food. They could do all the juice they want, and if they don't eat they won't grow, period. That, and most of them are crazy mother****ers which helps in the weight room.

NO.

Plenty of free food.
Free gym.
Plenty of motivation to get big so they can protect themselves.
Nothing but time.

Most inmates aren't locked in their cells for a good part of the day. In fact, even extremely violent felons who show good behavior inside will often be allowed to mingle with the general inmate population.

I would think that if they are able to get some gear, I hardly think extra food would be a problem.

Exactly what YR said is the reason. While the rest of us have to maintain a lifestyle outside of the gym and sleep these guys don't. And when survival comes into the picture and not just asthetics; that helps too.

They get food from the commissary. Their families put money into accounts they can spend on additional food.

They eat lots of calories. Very few of them get the amount of protein we do.

I've heard of some pretty off the wall training styles going on in some prisons too. But the guys seem to get results. Some of them claim to train the same bodyparts as many as 7days a wk!!! I've often wondered how they do it too. Nobody that I've known personaly has admitted to being able to get anabolic steroids in prison, or at least not admitted to using while in there. But who knows? I've known guys who to me seemed to have the most ghetto knowledge of training and eating ever. Eating raw eggs, allegedly training high volume high frequency AND high intensity. Some how making similar or better gains in a short period than I can with the availability of all the food, supps, rest, cutting edge training info, and best drugs I could ask for. What gives?
Can the survival instinct really that powerful? So much that it defies every other law of muscle building in the book?

Good post. I'm thinking we might be over-rating inmates. I mean some are pretty impressive, but for the most part I think they're just bulky with decent strength. As far as the survival instinct, I don't think it is that powerful as far as bodybuilding/powerlifting goes. I think its much more important to be mentally strong to survive. If someone wants to kill you I don't think they care much if you're jacked, they'll just send a couple extra goons to shank you.

My take is that they don't get much physical activity outside of the yard...so their bodies adapt to the low-energy consumption lifestyle...throw in weights and juice...and BAM

I spent 44 months in California prisons. There we have no access to weights or any sort of training facilities. There are no steroids in California Prisons either, because the demand and cash is greater for narcotics.

I trained with bodyweight only for over 3 years. When I got out I squatted 450 pounds cold and benched 335 for a triple. I can do pullups with 180 pounds added. I definitely have the genetics for strength, but what gets guys results in there is consistency and desire.

If you want size and strength with all your heart your body will change. Change in the body begins in the mind. For guys in prison, the desire to survive is the drive behind their training.

If you are curious about how we trained, I recently made a DVD and a manual/e-book of our prison training methods.

If you are curious to see what kind of results I got from 3+ years of bodyweight training check out my MySpace page:

I was in three of New Jerseys prisons. You eat very good and can buy off the commissary canned salmon, mackeral, tuna and they even use to have protien drinks. No more though. We get access to the yard twice a day for about 4 hours each. We lift eat and sleep and do our little job assigned to us. If you work in the kitchen you eat even better. I seen inmates smuggle fina pellets in thru there visits. Guards will bring in anything you want for a price. Also you gotta remember alot of inmates been doing time off and on since they were young teens. There joints and ligaments been stressed since a young age. They can move alot of weight.

Thanks for the feedback from the former inmates, anymore former inmates care to chime in, this is pretty interesting to me.
