Prison weight lifting

**kihop** · 07-28-2006, 11:53 PM

Hey guys here's the a clip of the squatting/benching comp from the documentary Supermax that was discussed last week.
Pretty interesting stuff. http://media.putfile.com/Prison-Lifting

That was totaly cool.
Good to see such a love of iron.

**rake922** · 07-29-2006, 12:36 AM

Looks like a freakin summer camp.. Fun times

**scriptfactory** · 07-29-2006, 02:39 AM

**Natty99** · 07-29-2006, 10:50 AM

That was cool. Agreed those are some big bad mofos

***perfectbeast2001*** · 07-29-2006, 11:12 AM

that was inspirational

**Squatman51** · 07-29-2006, 02:54 PM

those are some big strong men.... that one guy did 585 with knee wraps and belt with judging too that was neat so they had to get below paralell just like a PL meet... good weight for being raw and in the pen w/o proper diet

**taiboxa** · 07-29-2006, 09:23 PM

**kihop** · 07-30-2006, 02:23 AM

It's nice to see motivation/determination when there's not much left you can do with your life.
Stronger than me both mentally and physically

**Carlos_E** · 07-30-2006, 08:29 AM

awsome vid those guys are massive!!!

**zaneisgreat** · 07-31-2006, 04:25 AM

It cut out before deadlifts. I wanted to see deads so badly.

**stayinstacked** · 07-31-2006, 06:51 AM

Ok, for everybody who can only bench 200 lbs and thinks they need to do a cycle, watch that video. I'm willing to bet that all of those guys are drug free, use zero to a minimal amount of supplements and/or vitamins, and cannot eat as proper as you or I.

no diet and sups correct but you'd be suprised how much juice is in the joint.

friend of mine got out after serving 6 yrs. cycled the whole time. rec drugs as well. connections get you anything you need as long as you play the game right.

**firmechicano831** · 07-31-2006, 01:30 PM

I'm glad that they are using iron to help them coupe with jail and other issues they might have. nice video

alot of talk about cutting out weight training in prisons. it is now thought that th weights only make the prisoners harder to handle and more aggressive, i say bullshit on that, yes it makes them stronger, but it is a positive thing and it increase ther motivation, sets goals, increases there endorphin levels and seratonin so they feel better and gives them a purpose. these people have had alot of there freeoms taken from them, and it is probably well deserved, but to take the weights from them is to much. if the guards are concerned about the prioners becomeing to strong, maybe they should start to lift too instead of eating donuts and getting fat

**stik** · 07-31-2006, 03:21 PM

Iron and God, the 2 things that keep you going in the pen.

I was thinking they should take either Cell-Tech or Endothil-CR. They are both apparently better than steroids .

***Doc.Sust*** · 07-31-2006, 06:56 PM

i hope this is meant to be funny

I agree. I also agree what the CO in the video said, the dude in the gym busting his ass for an hour and a half is a lot less likely to start trouble then the skinny guy sitting around with nothing to do BUT start trouble. Let the inmates wear themselves out everyday.

**collar** · 08-01-2006, 04:28 AM

great clip,interesting.

**McQueen** · 08-01-2006, 05:22 AM

Forgive me for being alittle thick but how do those guys manage to get that big on a prison diet?

**boxingbean** · 08-01-2006, 06:44 AM

**Timm1704** · 08-01-2006, 07:05 AM

**Fletch3138** · 08-01-2006, 08:48 PM

Good video, yeah If I was a guard, I'd be hitting the weights daily. I would want every guy to think twice about trying me.

**stayinstacked** · 08-01-2006, 08:57 PM

my buddy did some time, they had no weights. You wouldnt believe the creative shit he would do to lift. He told me he used toilet paper roll holders(they were metal) and attached laundry sacks w/ books in them for weight to make his own dumbbells. They would wrap a towel around each others chest, they'd push down on each others backs during pushups for resistance, and then when the guy hit failure, they'd pull on the towel(which wrapped under the guys chest) to help him do more forced reps. They'd do inverted pushups for shoulders, towel pulls for back, as well as towel movements for tris and bis. The guy still does towel movements every now and again, and his arms are ****ing huge, probably 22"
