Awesome, Man, you spent 2 years there? The train is like we see in the movies, on the yard, or by yourself with that "prison workout" that Kali once posted on his channel?
Spent 5yrs in.
Never saw kalis vid.
I usually had a training partner aka let someone train with me.
(young kids who didn't know shit. Have them rack weights n stuff) or by myself. I went in with about 10yrs training experience with 6 of it as a trainer. Training was typical bodybuilding or powerlifting. Non of the common "prison" garbage like " Champagnes" or "lawn mowers" or whatever the fuck those idiots called whatever exercises they were doing.
I fucken hated people asking how to train their "back arms" or how to get their "trapezoids" to Bunch up.
Wtf? Do you call your chest your front back or how about your front arms are your side body or whatever the fuck... "Back arms" smh... And " trapezoids"?? Fuckers usually never graduated high school much less took of geometry class... Where the fuck is a trapezoid on a anatomy chart?
We had full free weights, power racks a couple regular squat racks inmate made pulldown and seated row machines a legit leg press hack squat machine seated calf raise machine a piece of shit old school Smith machine inside that was only good for doing standing calf raises in, couple preacher benches a handful or more Olympic flat benches one Decline and 1 incline bench.. Etc... all that shit would be outside in a white Pit in the wreck yard during the summer months and would be moved inside to a weight room when the snow came. There were some brutal hot days 100°+ with 90+ humidity(was near a river)& some stupid cold days when the weights were outside.
Had powerlifting meets twice a year? Maybe 3x? Always in the inside weight room. Were some surprisingly strong guys there who'd do very well if they trained outside prison. 135-140lb kids with 400+ deadlifts (460+ actually) and guys 198-220 with 600+ deadlidts... Only a couple of us squatted 600+ though. Big benches were rarer.
Nobody else had experience with steroids except me and I was the only one in the entire system getting testosterone.
Were some good physique as well. A few stand out. One kid who had hyperthyroidism and would take T4 to down-regulate his natural production of test of thyroid using voice text and I caught myself before it's taking testosterone and I'm too lazy to go back and change it so... Anyways this fucking kid was about 5 foot 10 and about a hundred and forty 9 or 152 lb and was fucking shredded like a mini white Chris Cormier physique except shredded year round. Didn't know a whole lot about training at first but eventually he got certified through issA while he was in. Lookin at him you'd guess him about 180. Never 140s.... other guy was a black guy coke dealer who looked like Bob Sapp's cousin no shit he also didn't know shit about training and wood bench press about 3 or 4 days a week and rarely if ever saw him do anything other than some chest and maybe some triceps sometimes or curls but still look like fucking Bob Sapp. A few others who just have good genetics that responded well to eating 3 meals a day that they probably weren't eating before they went to prison and giving their body some sort of stimulus for muscle growth that they most likely had never ever had in their life before going to prison
