With a slight adjustment, a similar move is used later after lights out.

Blatant rip off of Convict Conditioning :P

Likewise, I failed to achieve a single "celly" press-up, where your cellmate lies on your back, a personal humiliation that left me trapped face down on the floor until such time as my wife decided she had other matters to attend to.

Love this

So that's where the guy who comes into my building's gym occasionally got his routine. Funny, he doesn't look like a hardened criminal. Skinny guy, comes in, does some cardio and weights, and at times will do the handstand pushups against the wall, which make me want to throw hand weights at him out of sheer jealousy. One day. One day I'll be at my goal weight. And then ... I'll still be heavier than him by about 40 pounds. =P

In other words, pumping iron, and eating. Ain't nothing else to do in the motherfarking pen. Three hots, and a cot, know what I'm saying?

don't forget the anal sex!

Any place where you have a bunch of guys (pr girls for that matter) who are not really allowed to do anything but work out, they're going to get in shape. Ask any company stationed on some tiny-arse COP in Afghanistan.

With the added incentive of physical violence.

Fit prisoners? When did this happen?

I thought that most people came out of prison fat. Combination of cheap, high carb meals and of course the confinement and lack of exercise.

Well, just follow him to the showers, meaty boy!

The "floor humper" is Matt Furey. He sells a bunch of bodyweight exercise programs, most of which are waaaaay overpriced. There's lots of cheaper (and maybe better) bodyweight programs available.

That particular exercise is called a "dand", or a "Hindu-pushup" in the west. They are actually pretty hard to do.

There's also bullying the small fry for their food. Building muscle take calories and prisons tend to restrict your meal portions, so you'll need to take someone elses.

A warden told me that muscle inmates are quiet and cause no trouble. The social inmates start the trouble. And iirc, the state pen is all-you-can-eat, not that it tastes any good.
His point being that spending tax money on free weights, food and televisions was cheaper than spending money on items related to stricter security.
Since most of the (medium security) state inmates were pot dealers, I don't have a problem with warehousing them in front of a tv.
