So you have a place where you need to be at the apex of physical performance, power, speed, strength, endurance, there could be a life or death fight at any time, against habitual murderers, 7 foot 500 lbs freaks or seasoned street fighters.And how do they train?Just for looks.Half reps, high volume, so you look buff, that's it. It doesn't build much strength, speed or power. It's just basically bodybuilding.Kinda says a lot about US culture that's all about appearance instead of substance.But it gets even better: In such a situation, one would imagine that the guys from the outside who know what they're doing - boxers, MMA guys, even footballers - would clean house once they're in. But that doesn't happen: Instead, they adopt prison workouts and come out much worse, usually never reaching their former level again. Look at Mike Tyson for example.Those guys should KNOW that this style of training doesn't work, and in fact is a liability in prison, yet they still do it.And the various crime syndicates, who would have interest in ruling the prison system from the inside? Same thing. Go in, only half reps high volume low intensity for you.What the fuck is going on?
Intimidation is better than actually risking your life in a fightOrnamental features
>>77181560How intimidating can you be when you can't fight for shit?
>>77181546I know this is bait and or yough have never fought before but if you do 5x5 instead of calisthenics you will get winded fast in a fight unless you are also going super hard on cardio as well.
>>77181566How long do you think actual fights (not ring matches) last?Not even pro boxers train like this and they need more endurance than most distance runners. Do you think prison shankings last longer than the 47 minutes of a pro boxing match?
>>77181573>How long do you think actual fights (not ring matches) last?Longer than the longest you ever have a weight in your hand (30 seconds)
>>77181573I thought rethought my post and i realized if you hit 5x5 you probably never have a weight in your hands more than 10 seconds
>>77181587>>77181592My point still stands that you don't need so much endurance for fighting, even for ring fighting. Not even grapplers need that much endurance work.ESPECIALLY since it's a zero sum game and every percent you put into endurance takes away from your speed and power, which is kinda suicidal in such an environment.
>>77181603You have never been in a fight.
>>77181565Humans see a bigger more ripped guy and instinctively think "he could beat me", so they avoid a fight with him, because fights are risky and costlyhttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12110-024-09473-7
>>77181546nigga prisons don't have workout equipmentand you aren't trying to push yourself athletically because if you injure yourself the medical staff wont do shit for youyou're in confined and extreme crowded environments where you dont have a bunch of free space to perform a variety of workouts not to mention your priorities change in prison. you fags look at prison like its some survivor reality show and not a tortuous and traumatizing experience where you are dehumanized and reduced to nothing you can no longer participate in the world and therefore the values of the real world no longer apply the place destroys you physically and mentally the beds are metal, the seats are metal, there are no upholstered seats or surfaces you faggots take for granted out herepeople dont train for looks, they train to relieve their stress even for combat people would rather use weapons if you are big or strong theyll just get 10 people to beat you down or have 3 people take turns stabbing you to death
>>77181565your 2 years of muay thai aren't intimidating to a fent addict with a knife lmao

>>77181625thx prison bropouring one out for the prisoners tonite
>>77181546Majority of inmates skinny drug addicts or obese heart disease ridden ramen and honey bun addicts. And the ones that are in shape are just small and good at bodyweight exercises. There isnt "7 foot 500 pound seasoned street fighters". All this shit about how prisoners are jacked, is just to glamorize criminality. When in reality if they cant keep their life in order, how you think they can keep their body in order?
>>77181546Dude that shit doesn't matterThe best fighter on earth is getting killed by 2 meth heads. One to sneak him from behind, and the other to repeatedly strike him with a weapon The best most crazy powerful guy is getting slept with a punch to the jaw or solar plexus and then 2 other guys to stomp him if he dares to try and get upFor the gangs they want to look strong because appearance and first impressions is everything in life. That's why animals posture and make themselves look big to avoid the fight
>>77182515In a bigger city with more criminals you will run into harder criminals. Ypu did not do time and if you did time it was in a small county jail. If you are in with longer term prisoners they will be more likely to exercise all day and commit violence. Of course you are probably using hyperbole since we all that that kimbo slive type dudes do exist and will be more likely to thrive in such a system.
>>77181546The infamous butt bandit of the prison has just moved into your cell, what do you do:>instantly brawl him>wait until he catches you off guard>try reasoning with him to go fuck someone else>give in to his needs so you don't get beat up
>>77182674Why not just stab him a lot? Either before or after the rape?
>>77181546All of you niggers are getting shanked in a communal shower over $20 of honey buns and Swisher Sweet's >>77182672Old heads are less likely to engage in stupid shit unless provoked. They go up in security they are stuck on some god forsaken level 4 for years till the secscore comes down. Its little short time niggers that are the real danger.
>>77182682I'd rape him, trick question.
>>77182686They can't use as much steroids in prison, without that I have an absurd advantage over those kind of people.
>>77182686>it's thos YNs
>>77181546Underaged retard, nobody cares how "big" you are in prison, you think all of the old guys just get shanked because they aren't huge? Its the retards like you who think they have to "intimidate" others to survive, you'd probably try to "assert your dominance" and get stabbed with an improvised pointy object your first day in prison.
>>77181546Almost all inmaes look like trash only retarded americans who worship subhuman class of nigger gangbanger wannabe petty criminals think otherwise, I am stronger and bigger than any excon piece of trash I've ever met at the gym.>half repsMeaningless without context.>high volumeObjectively inferior to moderate volume and only used as a form of leisure due to so much free time.>It doesn't build much strengthIf it doesn't build strength it doesn't build muscle.
>>77181546>What the fuck is going on?Powershitting is just that, SHIT.
>>77182968Post body
>>77182672>do timeNo i didn't do time. Im not a retarded faggot who cant control his actions. I work at a state penitentiary. And believe me, there is no "hard" criminals. They are all soft. Hence why theyre in prison.
>>77183441Go to jail in boulder colorado then go to jail in new orleans and tell me all jails are the same. I dont see why you would need experience inside institutions for it to be obvious why conditions and social dynamics and amount of violent criminals might be different between the two.
>>77181546Muscles won’t save you from rusty shanks going in your neck
>>77181603This dude has never been in a fight lmao. Wrestlers are consistently the highest scorers on military endurance tests
>>77182682Just keep a knife in your ass
>>77181603Wes Watson (I know he's a dick but he did do ten years) says people do burpees in jail specifically to not get gassed in a fight, which is basically a death sentence. I would say if you knew somebody was gonna fight you in a month you'd get more out a month of cardio than a month of lifting.
>>77181560Shitting and pissing yourself is the best way to fend off an attack. I did that when my girlfriend and I were about to be mugged and the only thing the mugger got was my girlfriend.Win-win.
>>77183759I walk around spinning 2 revolvers like a cowboy 24/7 when I'm out and about. They don't fuck with quick draw Ronald.
>>77183728Cant i keep it in my mouth or in my undies? Lol
