I've never been to prison but from what I've heard you can't exactly eat whatever you want whenever you want. I worked with a guy over the summer who went to prison for 7 years and he had pretty big arms. Not a cut guy but about 5'8" 215. He said he mostly did bodyweight exercises. So how the hell are these guys getting so big without supplements and all that other stuff?

the ones you see in the films where their 200lbs and ripped as **** probably dont exist unless they were like that when they went to prison

I work in a prison and there are guys that are just ripped up. They basically get all the carbs they want and are limited on the amount of protiens they can have during the meals, But they are able to buy protien of the canteen. By no means are they clean bulking but they have and can get what they need. Alot of the inmates around here have no idea about proper lifting and there are a lot of injurys do to that.

Perhaps neccesity entails the brain to release a chemical that stimulates proetein synthesis, similar to the release of adrenelin in crisis situations. Think about it, If you were faced with the option of either bulking up quickly or becoming the prison ass slave, I think you'd do whatever it took to accomplish your goal.

Simple. People who dont train right or dont eat right can still gain muscle. It just happens a lot slower. We do the things we do because we want to put on the most amount of muscle possible in the shortest amount of time. We are looking for efficiency, and optimization. Now, look at a guy who has been in jail for 10 years. Thats a long freaking time, that if you were to consistently work out, you would put on loads and loads of muscle, so long as you were doing basic muscle stimulating exercises on a somewhat regular basis.
To me, consistency is the most important factor in building muscle anyway.
