Prison Workout and Diet

 You have definitely seen how well ripped and muscular these guys are, not only in the movies but in reality, are and how power they have. The strange think about this is how they can be so big with only 3   and even 2 meals per day? Im gonna explain you some reasons why these guys can be like this and how you can also become like this, without going to jail haha..

Firt of all, it is necessary for a prisoner to be big and strong in order to avoid a fight with other guys.

 People in prisons in countries like USA are usually member of gangs and their aim is to become stronger than the other gangs. If you want to survive you have to add some mass to your muscles. Secondly there not a lot of things you can do into a prison, so people wait every day for the time to lift weights. It is one of the few activities they can do there.
Also prisoners lift big, and they do that in order to prove to other guys how strong they are. If you give signs that you are weak, you may dont have a good time there and that's what happens really.

 The prisoners also sleep a lot and this is when your muscles recover and your body rebuild them. Giving rest to your self means you are recovering from the hard workout and the next day you are ready to lift bigger!

As far as the diet, people in jails would eat only 3 meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner but they eat in particular time and this is a big advantage for them. When you eat in schedule your body knows when to process the food and then consumes the nutrinets in bigger amounts. Another advantage is that their body needs food more (beacause they dont eat for 4-5 hours) than a body which consumes food every 2 hours and separates better the nutrients.

An example of a meal I found in Wikipedia is the following:

Example of meals

An example of a meal from a state prison is as follows:

• 3-4 ounces of meat
• half a cup of vegetables
• three-quarters of a cup of a starch
• three-quarters of a cup of salad with dressing
• 1 bread item
• 1 beverage
• 1 dessert

The workouts they do daily basis are bench presses, push ups, pullups,squats, deadlifts, dumbbell curls and tricep extensions. To burn fat they do burpees and mount climbers. These workouts dont take alot, just few minutes but they activate your metabolism and your body will continuw to burn fat for the next 1 hour!
