How Are Prisoners So Jacked? *the science*

[@kishan2239]

reason: unreagulated anabolics exchange and a lot of time on their hands. Prisoners aren't any more jacked than any other person that would put in the same effort and has the patience. That said, prison culture motivates discipline, hard work and consistency, it's become part of their daily routine and something they do very often. So much dedication is bound to promote growth.

I’m very new to the consistent work out everyday but one thing I found that helps is putting new stretches in to help the muscles/ bones that you aren’t targeting into the mix and I found a few workout stretches to do for some

That’s great to hear! I’d love to get more into stretching, maybe I’ll make a video about that soon

Are prisoners actually jacked though? It’s a Hollywood trope, but how often is it actually a thing. Wouldn’t food, especially broken down into ideal macros, be limited? I get you could keep in reasonable shape in prison, but do people really ever come out jacked? The guy whose testimony you read talked about elevated fear. I think this would create excessive cortisol, not testosterone. Cortisol creates fat and fear uses calories that could otherwise be used to build muscle. I’m just curious if it’s true that guys get jacked in prison or if it’s just an urban myth.

I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch everyday too. And I could easily avoid exercise even if I was in prison and had nothing else to do 😜
