Strength is genetic?

A few of great lifters came out of the prison system years ago -

Good to see someone with knowledge of the past. Some very impressive lifters have been incarcerated. I seem to recall it was Lowe who was transported to a meet in leg irons? Talk about interesting meet prep!

Yep, I've read and heard some accounts of his meet days. Basically, 2 guards, plus a few of the prison support staff to handle coaching, etc.... brought him to meet in the prison van, with the works. Once there, they hung out in the background while he warmed up, and paled around with a few of the other lifters. They even let him get some nice fast food, but it and pre meet jitters almost made him sick.

I know he was still doing prison meets a few years ago. I think he may still be able to do regular meets also sometimes as long as they're in the Pa. area, they tried to get him into a few international meets years ago, but no one wanted to take the chance to set it up.

Yes lots of food...Big tough guys can get new inmates to have their parents bring in money so in turn they get protection and are initiated in the prison system...YOu'd be amazed how much this goes on...Tons of things circulating through the prison systems and food is the least of their worries lol i don't mean clean food either i mean everything from honey buns to donuts...The common consensus is that people that lifted in prison were the strongest they've ever been, yet the FATTEST they've ever been. You cannot compare UK prison system to US's you cannot compare US to any other prison system we BY FAR jail the most people

They took ALL the free weights out of the prison closest to me three years back. Was enough to get a pump on for a short period. When youre used to one of the country's best equipped power lifting gyms it's shit

I hear that's a common theme in a ton of prisons and I don't think that's a good thing it's a short term investment that actually helps people out. All the money they spend in the first place to keep them there..

Yes, the trend in the States is toward jungle gym type things and cardio type fitness machines for inmate fitness.

There is/was actually a rule in federal prisons that no money was to be taken from the prison's recreational budget for new weightlifting, karate, or boxing equipment. Many states (particularly on the west coast) tend to have a similar stance. The east coast states, particularly the ones close to York Barbell, are more lenient on the issue.

Just a bunch of criminals in prison lifting heavy weights....

How was i ambigouous? I think there is peak test from abstinence then your body says fuck it. Besides, bigro is not natural, nor am i, so it hardly makes a blind bit of difference.

I can do abstinence, but if i take exogenous test and say look at me im not wanking watch my test rise id be talking bollox. Im just horny.

You're also married and whatever, so.

The horny feeling is what it is. I rather be horny as fuck than miserable as fuck or even worse, apathetic. After 2 weeks of not jerking off any workout is interesting every time, especially leg workouts. I tend to get apathetic very easily if things don't go my way and abstinence truly helps. I'm just talking about my experience because it works for me and millions of other people, it just works, period.

I call it bullshit when you said that "you think" there is a peak level of test levels fro abstinence and then what? Body says fuck you as in bye bye sex drive in general? That's bullshit, completely bullshit.

You are apathetic because you are geared towards being a moron.  Not touching your pee pee for self-imposed punishment is not going to fix anything.  You are so goddamned delusional and desperate you are seeking any type of placebo effect you can at this point.

Moron.

there's a correlation between being in a high stress high danger environment and test levels isn’t there? Or is that broscience

First of all it's not about punishment as I explained how it helps me, that's all, placebo or not, my daily "drive" is just better and I'm much more sociable. I've noticed I'm more active in general and have a better rhythm in just about anything. After jerking I tend to become careless, relaxed and just not driven = not as good workouts. Simple logic.

For example all the people who got a 100% success rate in their diets  for not consuming sugar of any kind didn't say; "But I like to eat sugar pie, so what's the point". Being horny is not the same as craving for food, I never got a good training when I'm hungry as fuck, but I sure as hell have got the best workouts when I'm horny.

Fuck letting guys who are in prison for life for murder lift weights.

Maybe I am different to you. I am fairly level headed and don't need to deny myself sex/jerking off. I get motivated by work to be done, not by how long it has been since I jerked off. I just put in about 26 hours of work in last day and a half; also fitted a workout and meals in no problem and sex twice and jerked off once.

As for peak test, what I am suggesting is:
1) Your test won't increase in a linear fashion; after a certain time you will reach a level it won't go beyond or else all virgin ugly fucks would be huge and aggro;
2) When you take exogenous test what effect will abstinence have on your test levels? None is my guess.

[tommywishbone]

Sir, you should be arrested for your grammar and syntax. Good luck in court.

[Lustral]

Fuck letting guys who are in prison for life for murder lift weights.

To hell with those who are imprisoned for life for the crime of murder having access to weights. It is not acceptable.

No, men with higher test levels are just more likely to commit crimes.

I've got the picture that you're a stable guy, so obviously you have a beehive/ant mentality. Currently my mind does not get motivated from thin air, even if it means I would have to survive on 100 bucks a month.

When you're depressed you usually have low dopaine/serotonine/endorfine/test levels. Last year my test levels were mesured from a regular blood test and they were just one point above the minimum normal.

 Of course abstinence won't increase my test levels but they will keep them in steady normal levels at least. At least it feels like it. Getting life on track might help but now that I look back on my life, I've always had tendencies to go from having the best day of my life to have the shittiest day of my life just like that, even when I was tanning my self every day and went to dates regularly.

But yeah, lol.
