How do guys in Jail get so huge?

I work in a prison. Let me simply say this and taken from an old Dan Johnism- "Look like Tarzan but lift like Jane".

I have seen some awesome ripped up physiques on the weight pile, mostly black guys, but was absolutely stunned to watch them struggle with 115lb overhead presses and 205 on the bench press. Sure, they can jump up there and dip and chinnup until the cows come home, but I have seen first hand that looks does not equal strength.

Actually, most of the time from what I have seen is the slightly chubby but thick as a bull white inmates are usually the most powerful on the weightpile. They don't look anywhere close to what the others do but they are usually much stronger.

One more thing on this too, nearly all these jacked up, well as far as appearance goes usually run about 160-170lbs. I know because I ask them, and then they ask me how to do a proper squat.



Yeh, most black guys need a minimal amount of anything to get a six pack.

While at my own stay, I thought 400+ was "monster lifts," most the guys on this S & P are stronger.

While I got to 198 lbs, minimal body fat, I had a massive build (light bone structure I believe) and was one of the bigger white-guys on the yard (6'3 helps).

My weights were:

Squat 315 for reps
Bench 225 1rm
Dead 365

Really not that high in relation to people who train specifically for high numbers. Also, everyone in prison thinks the bars weigh 65 lbs lol...so, I thought I was doing much more.


Some of the monsters were squatting 6 plates / side, dead'ing more of course...

In Arizona, it was the white bulls and Polynesians pulling and pushing the most weight.

At least in prison there is ALMOST no curling in the squat rack. :)
 
there was a good thread about this awhile ago, basically they can buy tins of tuna and other things to get a nice diet going.


great story keith
 
Just ask yourself!..

What would you do with your time if you spent years behind bars..

Anyone could get huge! Especially cuz lifting your body weight is one of the best workouts you can do!

You get huge fast when you just workout, eat, and sleep!
 
bodyweight only takes you so far

fucking dimdum

The plastic baggies are better, and, you can buy that shit at the store...ShizaaaM
 
I read the whole thread. How long were you in prison for, redjako?
 
lot of time to do nothing but pushups and dips when ur lockdown for 20 hrs. Take a deck of cards and for each card you turn over do that many pushups...rest appropriately and go through the whole deck. You can do this with air squats and full sit ups too.
 
Doesnt matter they all get raped anyway. All little kids should be made to watch "Supermax" the documentary on the US highest security prisons. Make them think twice before pocketing that candy bar.
 
Take it from someone who has done time.... there are many ways to work out, burpees, sprints, pull ups, exercises using the ladder on the bunk, all kinds of things if you're creative. We'd spend a lot of time working out because there's nothing else to do besides read, I did both. For those making rape jokes, you're fools and watch too many movies. That crap doesn't go on really and if it is it's on the hush and happening to gross child molesters.

Kinda fun to see all the posters that were here before me though. They all seem to be gone now, don't recognize any names I think. Except Lusst.

I thought all people in prison were gross....

I mean, its not like you go to prison for being a nice upstanding citizen who does good things in their free time...


Just joking


Sort of


Not really.....

People have gone to prison for all sorts of reasons that would be considered morally neutral or even good in other places/times. Yeshua from Bethlehem for instance, went to death row for being schizophrenic and/or not existing. None of those things are considered morally reprehensible now, at least not in glorious socialist paradise of where-I-live.

Personally, I can't forgive or defend people who don't exist. I would never say that someone who didn't exist didn't deserve everything that happened to them.

I suppose that's alright, seeing as they don't really notice what happens to them - this because "not existing" is exactly equivalent with "being dead", and the dead don't seem to mind what happens to them. As nothing happens to them. And so forth.

Sometimes, though, weird things happen. This thread, for instance, was dead. Now it isn't. Odd.
 
Train, Eat, and Plenty of sleep. Isn't that what non felons do to get huge? People in prison and jail serve no purpose in life while locked up and "training" to them is more of an occupation of the mind than a lifestyle. Most when they get out stop "training" and go back to the lifestyle they are used to.
