How is this possible: Getting jacked in prison

[Snatch518]

How do guys in prison get jacked? They are only given 3 small rashions a day. Sure they do pushups, pullups and situps all day but I figured, from what I learned about nutrition, is that his muscles would break down because... what are they getting? 60g of protein a day at tops with a total of 2000 calories, and that is way less than what they're burning more than every day. What gives? Or if this just my idea based on stereotypes then correct me.

Many prisons have weights - although I remember a while back someone was trying to get weight equipment removed. I don't know about their meals, but they're probably pretty high-energy.

Also, many prisoners have access to snacks in their canteens.

they probably make the piss weak inmates who are in there for like tax evasion and stuff, give them there food.

White collar criminals are usually not in the same jails as violent offenders.

True Bullitt, but white collar criminals are usually Wall Street types who bilk millions, and go to federal minimum security prisons. I promise tho, there are plenty of weaklings in a regular state prison.

And as far as how they get jacked, they don't have much else to do, get plenty of sleep which helps, and many of them have outstanding physical genetics.

Oh, and another thing -- most of the guys probably aren't "jacked." They might be more muscular than the general population b/c they workout out of boredom and the need to feel "safe," but I'd be surprised if MOST of them were enormous.

i dont know if you guys know this or not but.. some prisoners are allowed to buy supplements that are sold in the prison.. and you are allowed to send them certain supps as well..

my sis sends her man creatine and a gainer shake
and he buys other stuff at a store or something there.. not sure about those details but i do some shopping for her and she gives it to him when she visits.. legally too im not talkin about smuggled.. he has told me dbol is not to hard to get up there..

he is 6ft2 and about 220.. not sure he does say it is much harder to maintain his high weight while inside

prisoners can eat just about anything.....live off of shit like brewers yeast and cases of boost drinks and oodles of noodles

....and also some speculation about people with violent tendencies maybe have higher natural testosterone levels etc....
