I also noticed they dont get the luxury of good food like us body builders.

So my question is..... How do they do it? We all have access to proteins, creatines, proper workout equipment, steroids/hgh, proper foods..... And all they have is their prison cells....

So whats going on here? What are they putting in their food? tell me all.

speakin as someone who has spent 17 months locked up....

if your lucky.. then you have the 3 main things you need to get big in jail

FOOD - you can buy all the food you want off of commisary if you have money. even if you dont have money you can make deals with ppl over other items or chores for food. plus prisons have decent portions. jails dont. but prisons do. also, most ppl in prison dont eat prison food cuz 1. if they are locked up for years. they get sick of the food. 2. they have jobs in the prison and family sending money in. so they order all their food and give their trays to other inmates who arent lucky to have support.

WEIGHTS- your correct. most prisons are phasing out weights. meaning that they have weights and machines but if something breaks... they dont fix it. so eventually everything will break and there will be nothing.
but human will is strong in jail
we used our body weight. other ppls body weight. laundry bags full of books. tubs full of water. trash bags full of water and even trash cans full of water as weights. you have to adapt but it can and will work to build muscle

REST- thats all you have to do in jail... sleep. lay in bed reading/watchin tv. plenty of time to let the body heal and grow

so put all three factors together and thats how ppl get big in jail
