I Trained Only Prison Workouts for 10 Days

I love how Lucas isn’t afraid to reinvent and modify basic progressions. Always striving to be better.

What's crazy is, as you mentioned, it depends on the cell and the design. Some give you some form of thin ass mattress, but if you roll it up you can do reverse rows with. Certain cells I was in had a bunk bed what you could do, like a straight vertical pull up. Some guys would take the extra pair of pants your assigned, and try and hang it from something for like rope pull-ups. We truly took everything we had and turned it into something. Imagine dudes doing thousand bicep curl sets with a regular ball of water cuz it's the heaviest thing you have😂. We always hear about the horror stories of beef and fighting, but very few people talk about the camaraderie of the guys who do get along training together.

Charles Bronson (British prisoner…movie made about him starring Tom Hardy) was big and strong while being locked in solitary confinement for much of his incarceration. He wrote a about detailing his routines that you can order online.

You do single arm 'curls', using your opposite hand as resistance. i.e., place left palm on top of right palm, and then curl using your top(left) hand as resistance.

As a gymnast, planches are definitely a great way to get your biceps bigger. I would highly recommend doing a video on different planche exercises.

Strict military style burpees (Iron Wolf, Moses, Burpees King, Busy dad, etc.) are a favorite exercise of mine. They are easily one of the best exercises are building endurance and muscle when doing multiple pushups per burpee. Glad to see you doing these bro.

Thank you for testing this stuff out... Super helpful

I hear you on that confinement talk at the end though. Sometimes you gotta do your best just to stay at your base level. I got injured at work in August and fell into the trap of just doing absolutely nothing till I fully recovered. My physical health deteriorated as a result. Now that I think about it though, most elderly people have probably experienced this. Do the best you can in your deteriorated state or go insane. A valuable lesson to learn. Looking back I'm so glad I didn't have wait till I was a terribly ill 70 year old to learn it. It's not always about being an unstoppable super man. Sometimes that's not even an option.

I train almost exclusively in this style. I have hurt my back a few times, almost always the day after high-rep squats- just like you did. For me, it’s my hip flexors that get super tight and then pull on my back. Doing hip flexor stretches helps a bit, and I do then now as part of my maintenance

Can you possibly do a video on working out with resistance bands only? I feel like it would be interesting to see if you can get muscle growth from just bands! Love the content as always :D

Impressive determination, resilience and results!! Very inspirational!

Been a fan for a long time! Glad to see ur still uploading

Bodyweight Beast: Prisoner Edition Great Video Lucas as always, also valuable lesson „use it or lose it“ ! PS: Yes, Prisoners usually have a higher test level, due to environment + there are options to get a higher calorie intake, like trading with other inmates.

I've been waiting for the video for a while! As someone who doesn't yet have access to the gym I've resorted to body weight excerises. This video should help me out a ton!

I appreciate this video a lot because I am in the exact situation where I need to train without having any equipment and it’s always been like this growing up super poor and wanting to workout as a teenager

Dude I remember trying to learn bboy moves from you as a teen. That was maybe 12-15 years ago. I recognized your username and look at you go man, 3 million subs. Love to see it!

Hope your back feels better bro! Praying for ya!

Whenever I feel slight discomfort or pain in my lower back, I start by doing some scissor kicks to open up my core and hips. Then I do some ham/glute raise bridges to get the glutes and hamstrings more activated. They help stabilize, support, and alleviate pain from the lower back.

love the vids! keep up the good work!

Been years since I’ve seen you good to see your well
