Here's an observation of mine....

[JJ from GoodTimes]

...Has anyone else notice that bodybuilders (or those who lift weights) in prison tend to have huge physiques without the access to resources that those in the freeworld have.

I have been noticing this for a while when I go to visit friends and family who are in prison. These guys are huge.

But think about it, they don't have the luxury of running down to GNC and buying the lastest creatine or whey protein, they don't have the luxury of eating 6-7 times a day. They get only 3 squares and that's 3 meals of prison food....not the most healthiest stuff on the planet...yet, the inmates who do workout for that one hour a day they are allowed to become huge and ripped.

Its just makes me think...how do they do that...and maybe you really don't need all these supplements and other additives to become massive and ripped.

genetics, most likely they were already that big before they were ever in jail.

Who said they don't have access in prison.


...and look at all the recovery time they have.

 

[strangebrew]

put me on 3 meals a day and I'd shrivel up like a salted slug.

just because your in prison doesnt mean you dont have access to gear

"You gonna eat that?" asks the 280 pound monster with tattoos all over his body.

"Um no, here." says the 160 pound guy that just got in on for stealing a car.

Ha ha! There's your answer.

they can buy extra food an supps if they want to.
+ many of them are fairly jacked b4 prison also.

what else are they gonna do ??

 

[Griz1]

Train, eat, rest.

What else is there to do in prison?

 

[c3bodybuilding]

They do it the same way the old time lifters did, with hard work and rest. These guys have nothing else to do, so they take it out on the weights, and then rest all day. We really don't need all these supplements. Shakes, pills, etc. They didn't have that in the 40's and 50's. Even in Arnolds day, they didn't take anything other than solid food, and of course gear. I'm sure they have access to the latter. They also may not eat the best, but they also aren't having mcdonalds cheat days, or milkshakes either. You see a lot of guys putting this junk into their bodies and call it 'bulking'.

This may be off topic, but I sometimes wonder how much better off those who depend on whey shakes for most of their meals would be, if they ate more 'real' quality food.

In a prison about 20 minutes from me is a powerlifter named "B-Lo" or something. He's like 350 lbs, and squats about 900 I think. I'm pretty sure the man has "access", lol.


Besides, they have like 20+ hours of sitting around doing jack shit, so no overtraining. Plus you'd work damn hard at lifting if that was the only recreation in your entire life.

Beetle Low or Beetle Lowe.

Something like that. Should not be allowed to compete, considering what he did to get where he is.
