I know this might be a topic that has been discussed too much, but this really puzzles me. I am totally ignorant about what is accessbile in jail or what is not. But I would assume there are no protein powders in jail and that the nutrition is not what many on this site would consider conducive to quality mass gains in muscle. And since weight training breaks muscles down, what do these guys do to recover and get that massive and ripped.

I think it boils down to, if you spend years lifting hard all the time and eating a lot, you will see results without anything close to a perfect diet. its just not the most efficient way to go about it. also, many of those guys were probably ripped and massive before they went to prison in the first place.
12/13/05 -- 193 lbs, 30% bf
02/01/06 -- 188 lbs, 23% bf
04/05/06 -- 187 lbs, 17% bf
05/01/06 -- 182 lbs, 15% bf
05/25/06 -- 177 lbs, 14% bf ; start fish oil ; start sesamin ; start cAMPHIBOLIC
Goal: to give myself a whole new body for my birthday this year (12/13/06). 180 lbs, 10% bf. 5'8".
If high reps low intensity worked, typing would've made me huge and lean.

Well, there are 3 main components for building lean mass -
1. Lift Heavy
2. Eat over maintenance
3. Rest
1 and 3 are available in large amounts, with Free Weights being almost the only option and rest being mandated 23 hours a day in many cases. As for caloric excess, sitting around all day makes maintenance a lot lower, and additional food can often be purchased through the prison commissary.

Or could it be the fact that your thinking of the movies, and not real life. Many of the people i've seen that are or have been to prison are not huge and ripped like they are in the movies, which seems to be what your thinking of.

Also, I don't think I will be volunteering to go into jail and find out first hand.
I ain't gone be taking no Vitamin D and no I aint talking about the kind that makes for strong bones.

I feel that everyone has made excellent points about how one can get so jacked in jail, but no one really touched on why.
I imagine that a great desire to accomplish arises while sitting in jail, and lifting is one of the very few things that can be done in jail that will display tangible results. There isn't much skill required, just discipline. Factor in the competitiveness, male ego stroking, and desire to be able to protect one-self, and you've got a sure thing.Max-OT Style Training Journal:

Imagine this. You have no job, no responsibility, nothing to do. You have access to weights, food and a bed. What would keep you from lifting like crazy every chance you get? Especially if benching 400 would deter unwelcome advances.

You guys are all saying good stuff, but, with all supplements, vitamins, proteins, carb timing, pre, post, during workout supplementing, how is it that dudes that go to the local gym every day and train got all the supplements in the world GNC carries and stay the same size and don't change. Dudes in jail aint got no Pro Complex or dextrose pwo. No Glutamine to keep muscles from catabolisizing. No Whey protein Isolate. And really seriously doubt these dudes is eating 6-7 protein rich meals a day. And since Carbs are supposedly not anabolic, which i'm sure they get alot of with the usual Peanut butter, whats da' deal with their mass gains?

Let's not get confused with what we see on television. Not all prison guys are that big. And a lot of them were big before they even got thrown in prison. And in those baggy clothes you can't see what half of their bodies look like anyway.

Height 5'11.5

Squat :- 270 :)
Bench :- 155 :(

my dad whent to jail for 6 years in state, and he was a bodybuilder there,
They feed you quite well, in fact our local prison has won food critic's choices in our paper. My dad said to me that they have so much time to rest that they make it up by working out more then average. Plus alot of them do cardio by playing basketball and stuff. He also stated its kind hard to put on bodyfat when theres no junkfood in prison. So theres the (inside scoop)Doblin 6'4 about 190 pounds
Bench about 185
curl about 60
goal before leaving for Camp Pendelton in july

you can get pretty much anything on the inside as you can on the outside. any illegal medication/drug is available, protein powders are available above the board, they feed you a well balanced diet and you can get extra portions if you want.
when all you do is eat, take steroids, workout, and rest you'll get huge, look at most of the pros for example.
