training in jail!

[chosin1]

i was responding to a thread about maken lats bigger and was talkikng about being locked up and how pullups were about all i could do and how it changed my body. some one else responded about the same and working out with water bags i was think about how many other people found themselfs in jail for one reason or another thats not important. what is important is how you have to be inventive and the things you did while you were in there and the progress u made on a horrid diet and no weights! what did you come up with to work your body parts and the thing i relized most was the old school pullup, push ups,dips (off scond tier) waterbag curls still make up the staple of my training today. in curious to here your replys, yes even the ones that say scum who break the law have no rights to anything and should rot in a cell

when i was locked up there were any weights or equipment for us to use. i started doing chins off the railing in the upper part of the pod and the guards wouldnt allow it. eventually i did chins off the small metal rack in my cell, grabbing the thin strips of metal at the sides cutting into my hands, and dragging my body against the wall.

My friend is a CO in Upper Mich.

He said the have Benches, Push/pull racks, pull up/chin up racks. These kids/guys are getting big. He works at a Prison that is not Maxium security but there isn't a house, gas station or store within 20 miles so last year when a Prisoner escaped he basically came back he went 5miles then the next day they found him 1.5 miles from the prison.

These guys even have Softball tourneys in the summer.

75% of offenders there are Drugs, distrubution, manufacturing, or crossing state lines.

My buddy stays on Test Undecanate & Winny most of the year to stay Hard & lean to keep up with the Young Bucks that come in.

He also said the Post office is so far he has to order his stuff on his vacation and go to the next biggest city to pick up gear. He said it takes up to 20-a month to get it. When I hear that I feel lucky to get it in two weeks.

Dave Palumbo had a series of articles in Muscular Development about training while incarcerated. He also has a book devoted specifically to that.

We did pushups off the toilets,, curls and tri's from the broom handles and trashbags filled with water on the ends and in the camp there was a 2" heat line that was about 8-9ft in the bathroom that we did pull ups on.. New Jersey took all weights outta the prison system except for the lifer prisons like rahway and Trenton St. from what i heard....

Stewie , r u a Jersey boy? swear i thought i seen u b4 at Surf Club or somewhere in N. jersey..

A book on jailhouse lifting. How complicated could that be ? Just kidding
Mike. Accually I wish I new that a while back during my vacation, they took
out the weights so we were limited. What I did was place my feet up
on the lower bunk and did close (handed) push ups. And pull ups on the
top bunk bar. They had a weight room but for CO's.
