Lifting in prison

[James 96761]

I was wondering what routine inmates use because most of them get huge and there is no suplements or anabolics they can get access to and are they allowed to eat like a buffet three times a day I was curious because you need protien+heavy lifting to grow.

1) There are plenty of supps and anabolics in prison.
2) They've got plenty of time.
3) Get big or get teabagged.

I've never heard of prisons offering buffets. I know someone that went in for 3 years when we were in highschool, he came out a lot bigger which I never understood. He wasn't a newbie to lifting either because he wrested 4 years in highschool. Prison diets are ****ty, the food is awful. I think it's more of a misconception that everyone who goes into jail comes out bigger-if they did they probably never lifted seriously before-or in the case of my friend it could be genetics.

You don't burn a whole lot of calories sitting in a cell

Yeah, but you do when you're picking up trash on the side of the interstate. :evillaugh

[smalls]

I also think it's a bit of a misconception. It's just more noticable and memorable when some guy gains size in prison, then if he came out smaller or the same size. But I know plenty of people that lost ungodly amounts of weight in prison. Genetics obviously play a large role.

96761 - is that your tag number?

LOL

[Unholy]

Haha, James I didnt know they let you on these message boards in the pen.

[BigCorey75]

well first off they just lift hard and heavy all day, most people i know that went to prison alot of them came out bigger because they said its all alot off them do. some prisions have weight lifting competitions as a way of rehabilitation and giving the inmates something to release stress on


that then it also being a means of survival. we lift for asthetic purposes, they lift to keep a mother****er off them..

[Unholy]

Think about it the more you lfit the more cals you burn, They get a measily 3 meals a day. And very little protein. How the heck do you get so big off so little food. It would make sense for em to get cut as hell but not huge. Its gotta be all the protein shakes they get from Bubba

[bgs1154]

They do have a thing called cominsary(sp) where you can buy extra food and other personal items. Im sure they could probably get something like jerky, which is a high protein food.

[Unholy]

Thats pretty cool. I wouldnt know much about the prison system internally. Just from watching OZ lol.

paul posts every other reply, hes a fruit and should be shot and killed.

[spencerjrus]

When your options are either get shanked or get big, there is alot of motivation to grow.

[ancom41]

well.. i could pretty safely say that everyone here has alot of motivation, if they didnt they wouldnt be posting here daily, but you dont see them getting huge off of low calorie, low protein diets

[HahnB]

You can have all the motivation you want, if you don't have enough food most people aren't going to grow. I still think it's more of a myth that everyone comes out bigger.

Obviously EVERYONE doesnt come out bigger, but food can and is smuggled into prison though so I dont find it hard to believe that a fair amount of people get bigger.

Agreed.
Anything CAN be obtained in prison if you have the money of the hookup, but very few people have the dedication to worry about it. Size doesnt mean your arent going to get shanked or raped in prison, there is power in numbers, not in weighing a whole 220.

[waynis]

With all that time what else would u do? When all you do is lift your gonna get big even with less the decent nutrition.

[HahnB]

For sure, if anyone has watched Lock Up on msnbc, or court tv where they have prison specials most of the powerful people aren't very big, they are in gangs like the bloods, latin kings or mexica mafia-that and they are crazy and have nothing to lose by stabbing you.

I was wondering what routine inmates use because most of them get huge...

They do? I know they're portrayed as being large individuals by TV and movies. But other than that I'd have to side with HahnB, I doubt most of them go in and come out looking like Goliath.

[IronCurtain]

Just watch OZ..

[smalls]

More doesnt equal better, especially in reference to lifting weights. Plus they dont just let inmates choose their activities, most activities are priveledges and it's usually an hour a day or less.

[AllUp]

Downright scary IMHO.

They have mofo's in there which are like macguyver shanking people with weapons made out of a paperclip, toothbrush, a rubber band, and a piece of melted plastic.
