PRISON TRAINING/WORKOUT

In prison, size matters. It's a violent environment, and size can often be a matter of life and death. Bullying goes on, fights happen, rapes take place and inmates murder inmates. The smaller an inmate is, the more vulnerable that inmate is to violence. Inmates' survival is associated with lifting weights, getting big and getting strong.

Inmates manage to get fit despite not having full fitness gyms in jail. Whether it's in the rec yard or within a cell, inmates lift weights. Depending on the facility, there is weightlifting equipment for inmates such as dumbbells, barbells and a bench. Inmates also get creative and fill 2-liter bottles with water or use a bucket of wet towels for curls. Inmates' weightlifting training consists of powerlifting and strength workout.

Strength-training exercises involve body weight, weight machines, resistance bands and free weights. Strength-training is ideal for inmates because it strengthens bones and muscles, and it builds muscle mass. In jailhouse, size often projects fear. Inmates tend to lift heavy weights and do push ups for an intimidating, hulking image - big arms and a massive chest. Since powerlifting involves lifting the most amount of weight, the reps aren't as high as strength-training exercises, which use at least eight reps.
