Quotes: YOU ARE YOUR OWN GYM ROUTINE | Convict Workout

All workouts are Ladder routines –> Perform one rep of the given exercise, rest, perform two reps, rest, perform three reps, etc until you¹ve reached the point at which going any higher would cause you to hit muscle failure on subsequent sets. Once you¹ve reached that point, come back down without repeating the highest number. The rest interval between sets should be approximately the same amount of time it would take a training partner to perform the same number of reps. You¹ll have more rest as the numbers get higher, and less rest as the numbers get lower on the way back down to one. If you¹ve reached the bottom of your Ladder (1 rep) and the set time hasn¹t expired (7.5min. per exercise), simply start another ladder. It is OK to perform the ladder workout in the low rep range- possibly even repeated singles towards the end of the workout, in order to avoid hitting failure.

Nota del autor: Habiendo nunca estado en prisión, el artículo a continuación es mera especulación. Disfrútelo.
Todos hemos visto fotos o videos de prisioneros y nos hemos maravillado con su increíble desarrollo físico. Mientras nadie quisiera estar en su predicamento, muchos de ellos tienen cuerpos que hacen que la mayoría de los hombres promedio tengan envidia. Una pregunta es a menudo hecha: “¿Cómo es que los prisioneros se vuelven tan grandes?”. Después de todo, ellos tienen una dieta terriblemente carente de nutrición, probablemente no toman ningún suplemento, algunos de ellos no tienen pesas para levantar, hacen ejercicio aparentemente sin parar. De hecho, todo lo que ellos hacen en lo que respecta al entrenamiento muscular va en contra de todos los conocimientos convencionales de comer al menos 1 gramo de proteína por cada libra de peso corporal, que no hay que comer más de 3 o 4 veces a la semana, de beber agua sin para, tomar suplementos, descansar cuando se esté fuera del gimnasio, que dice que los ejercicios con el peso del cuerpo/calistenia (bodyweight excercises) no aumentan los músculos, que dice que hay que ejercitar un músculo por sesión solo una vez por semana y que no hay que hacer ejercicio por más de 45 minutos al día.
Este es otro ejemplo de por qué los consejos *convencionales* siempre están mal.
Los reos no siguen ninguno de los consejos que aparecen en las revistas y tienen los cuerpos para demostrarlo. Así es como lo hacen:

1) Ellos tienen que ponerse grandes y fuertes: Cuando ellos entran, ellos no tienen la duda de que seguramente serán uno de los tipos más pequeños y débiles del lugar. En un océano de tiburones ellos son las focas. Ellos TIENEN que volverse más grandes. Ello no es una opción. Programan sus mentes para lograrlo y lo hacen con una firme determinación. A los debiluchos los joden, a los fuertes no. Lo que la mente cree, el cuerpo logra.

2) Tienen altos niveles de testosterona: Los tipos que van a la cárcel tienen más altos niveles de testosterona que el promedio. Luego ellos son puesots en un ambiente que rebosa de testosterona y sus propios niveles se disparan al techo. Simplemente tienes que tener altos niveles de T para sobrevivir, para estar alerta todos los días, dispuesto a pelear o matar a la más pequeña señal de peligro. La Testosterona es el bloque de construcción de los músculos y estos tipos están cargados de ella.

3) Ellos se ejercitan rutinariamente: Los prisioneros siempre hablan de sus rutinas y de lo importantes que son para ellos. Todo está programado en un horario para ellos y ellos no dudan en esperar el momento en que puedan volver a levantar (lift). La rutina es la forma en que cualquiera se vuelve musculoso, ya sea dentro o fuera de prisión. Incluso el hombre más promedio que sigue un estricto programa durante un período de años se volverá muy, pero muy musculoso y fuerte. ¿Cuántos hombres libres son capaces de deicarse determinada y disciplinadamente al gimnasio por un período de 10 años o más?

San Quintín. Incluso en 1947 los prisioneros se estaban poniendo bien marcados (jacked)

4) Ellos levantan en serio: Con un patio lleno de monstruos que te miran, tu no solo tienes que parecer fuerte, sino que TIENES QUE SER fuerte. Es por esto que estos tipos alzan mucho, mucho, mucho peso. El Levantamiento progresivo en un periodo de años pone a cualquiera fuerte, musculoso y marcado.
5) Usan ejercicios de acondicionamiento para volverse fuertes y bien marcados: Metidos en sus celdas lo único que tienen de sobra es tiempo para hacer burpees y otros ejercicios con el peso del cuerpo que aceleran el corazón y derriten la grasa. Incontables lagartijas (push-ups), flexiones invertidas (hand-stand push-ups), sentadillas, fondos (dips) y elevaciones (pull-ups) crearán grandes y amplios hombros, un gran pecho, brazos gruesos, six packs, una espalda ancha y en forma de V de los cuales hasta el más dedicado de los ratones de gimnasio sentiría celos.

Armado y Peligroso

6) Ellos duermen lo suficiente: Ellos van a dormir y se levantan todos los días a la misma hora. El sueño regular es cuando los músculos se recuperan y se reconstruyen más grandes y fuertes.

7) Comen a la misma hora todos los días: Sus cuerpos saben cuándo esperar su flujo de nutrientes. La alimentación regular es extremadamente importante para construir y mantener un físico de clase mundial. A pesar de que estos tipos consuman comida terriblemente carente de nutrientes, el cuerpo sabe qué esperar y utiliza lo que se le da. Adicionalmente a las comidas gratis que reciben todos los días, que pueden sumar más de 3.000 calorías al día, ellos pueden comprar alimentos como atún y proteína en polvo del comisiario, dándole a su cuerpo proteínas y nutrientes extra.

8) No tienen tanto estrés: Ellos no tienen las preocupaciones quita testosterona de pagar las cuentas, trabajar, una esposa cantaletuda, desempleo, manutención de los niños y otras minucias. El tipo de estrés que ellos tienen, la supervivencia, incrementa su testosterona.

9) Esteroides: Las prisiones son notorias por ser focos y ollas de drogas, de las cuales ciertamente están incluidas los esteroides. Muchos delincuentes están en la cárcel pagando penas por tráfico de drogas, lo que significa que no son ajenos a ellas. Personas que ya usan drogas tienen más posibilidad de usar esteroides que un tipo promedio.
Los prisioneros son capaces de dedicarse a si mismos, no solo por unos pocos meses sino por años, a volverse musculosos y marcados. Ellos obtienen toda la comida y el descanso que sus músculos necesitan. Ellos entrenan para volverse tanto grandes como fuertes. Ellos se ejercitan por un par de horas todos los días. Ellos no tienen el estrés que muchos de nosotros en el exterior tenemos.
Si cualquier hombre libre fuera capaz de dedicarse de la misma forma en que los prisioneros lo hacen, él lograría convertirse en un monstruo muscular, tal y como estos tipos.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Vic, this is another excellent and very inspiring post from your plume/keyboard. I hate to say it, but now I see myself reflected in your past skinny weak  self.

Like some other readers of B&D, I’ve been transforming myself lifting weights, doing bodyweight excercisses and checking my nutrition during the last 6 months (I’d like to show you my progress).

Your posts have been really inspiring since the first time, when I found you via «Linkage it’s good for You» by «Ferdinand Bardamu» at IMF so I have translated some of the into spanish so that guys like Felipe, like me and others can build something out of themselves:

– How to Find the Motivation to Succeed translated as ¿Cómo encontrar la motivación para tener éxito? (traducción)

– How Prisoners Get So Muscular translated as ¿Cómo es que los prisioneros se vuelven tan musculosos? (traducción) (this is on my #3 on my all time pageviews)

– 30 Days of Discipline translated as 30 Días de Disciplina

Thanks for putting all of this into words.

Quote: The Observer Watches: The four levels of MGTOW – betas shrug.

My reason for putting MGTOW into «levels» is not to suggest that there is an inevitable progression from one level to the next; there are many men who look at the situation and decide what hazards they’re comfortable with dealing with, and then stay at that level, or move up or down as the situation befits. Nevertheless, my separation into levels is representative of the escalation of a MGTOW’s increasing withdrawal from society at large and increasing starvation of the beast. It is difficult, but not impossible for a MGTOW to progress from one level to another without at least taking in part ideas and concepts from the previous level: while, for example, Cappy Cap still enjoys short-term relationships with women, he also particpates in economic disengagement.

Quote: Roissy’s Maxims | Chateau @heartiste

Maxim #1a: Women desire men of better quality than themselves.

Maxim #2: Women are turned on by displays of male power.

Maxim #3: Whenever an attractive girl tells you she hates assholes, or describes her experience in the past dating assholes and claims to avoid them now, or recites a laundry list of asshole-y things guys do that she disapproves of, you can bet your weight in gold bricks that she wants you to be an asshole to her.

Maxim #4: Never trust a woman who is missing a sense of humor.

Maxim #6: Never. Make. It. Easy. For. A. Woman.

Maxim #7: Your girl will thank you for your steadfast devotion to your belief in yourself.

Maxim #8: Always assume she is a slut. It helps kick the legs out from under the pedestal you will be tempted to put her on, and it is more often than not true.

Maxim #9: The greater the age difference between the older man and the younger woman, the tighter his game will need to be, barring compensatory attributes (money).

Maxim #10: Marriage is a social mechanism designed to exchange sex for indentured servitude.

Maxim #11: Calling a girl out on her lie accomplishes nothing.

Maxim #12: When the love is gone, women can be as cold as if they had never known you.

Maxim #13: When in doubt, game.

Maxim #14: Female cultural equality = male dating inequality. Female cultural inequality = male dating equality. Human nature says that you can‘t have it both ways.

Maxim #15: Be narcissistic. There is no greater divergence than that between a woman’s stated disapproval of male narcissism and the rapidity with which she jumps into bed with a male narcissist.

Maxim #16: The two fundamental propositions are male choosiness and female abundance. All alpha males have these two mindsets in common. Corollary: Male choosiness and female abundance do not necessarily have to be true for the strategy of behaving as if they are true to be effective at seduction.

Maxim #17: The alpha male thinks and acts more like a woman than a man in matters of seduction. He understands his adversary’s psychology, and uses it to allay her defenses.

Maxim #18: Never talk about getting into a relationship even if she says that’s what she’s looking for.

Maxim #19: Withholding sex is the tactic of a woman who has already lost. It is mutually assured destruction.

Maxim #20: If a woman says the word “sex” in conversation with you or about you, no matter the context, it means she’s thinking about having sex with you.

Maxim #21: Women are more pliable in the company of competing women.

Maxim #22: You have to make marriage an attractive alternative for MEN — not women — if you want the institution to thrive.

Maxim #23: The vagina tingle is the principal moral code to which women subscribe. All other moral considerations are secondary.

Maxim #24: When in doubt, ask yourself “WWJD?” What Would a Jerk Do? Then do that.

Maxim #25: NO girl wants to be thought she isn’t a special little snowflake.

Maxim #26: Never tell a girl how much you make, even if you’re loaded. In case of marriage, keep separate accounts.

Maxim #27: If you want a wife, stay clear of investing much in girls who constantly remind you they like to have “fun, fun, fun” and “get bored easily”.

Maxim #28: The more experience you have with women, the more you’ll know which women have experience with men: It is the inexperienced beta male who is most often in the dark about a woman’s sexual history and liable to be victimized by it.

Maxim #29: Xenophobia is good for diversity.

Maxim #30: Women will not hold it against you for trying to get into their panties on the first night. In fact, they will respect you more for your boldness and willingness to follow your manly desires.

Maxim #31: If you plan on cheating and subsequently get caught, act like a total dick who did nothing wrong. Your girlfriend will then wonder if it’s something she did.

Maxim #32: Commanding women to do your bidding will give you a bigger beta margin of error when needed.

Maxim #33: Women need to test men for their grace under pressure.

Maxim #34: If she’s hot, why would she bother with online dating?

Maxim #35: Never trust a woman’s advice on how to please women. Her advice is designed for alpha men she already finds attractive and from whom she seeks signals of attainability and commitment.

Maxim #36: A woman’s sex and relationship advice isn’t meant to help men; it’s meant to distract men from what really works to attract women.

Maxim #37: High IQ is no inoculation against beta delusion. If anything, high IQ obstructs clear thinking about women’s nature.

Maxim #38: The longer you are away from seducing new women, the harder it will be to seduce one when you want.

Maxim #39: The worst thing to happen to women in America was women’s suffrage.

Maxim #40: Men are becoming ever bigger betas in their dealings with women. Men are losing the leverage to shape and push women’s child-like and selfishly amoral political opinions in logical, just and long-term oriented directions.

Maxim #41: The definition of Inner Game: Hit on every woman who excites you. Make life uncomfortable for them, not yourself.

Maxim # 42: When a girl signals that she doesn’t enjoy blowjobs or sex, do not spend one second more with her. Your libido is too important to gamble on such a girl.

Maxim #43: In their sexual primes women’s attraction for assholes is at its strongest. You can catch a lot of hungry flies with honey, but shit attracts the most well-fed flies.

Maxim #44: If you get sexually rejected, don’t admit it to yourself, and especially don’t admit it to the girl.

Maxim #45: Women will screech louder the closer your words get to damaging or exposing vulnerabilities in their sexual market value.

Maxim #46: Whenever you hear or read the words “gender”, “gendered”, “gendered norm”, “subtle gender bias”, or “increasingly egalitarian, yet there remains…” know that you are dealing with a leftwing moonbat, blank-slate believing fruitcake who cannot deal with the fact that men and women are biologically different from birth.

Maxim #47: Awareness of a woman’s games is a precision-guided weapon in a man’s arsenal of seduction.

Maxim #48: Respect the momentum.

Maxim #49: The rare older woman-younger man pairing is like a lab experiment gone wrong. It violates the natural order of things, and leaves its practitioners emotionally twisted and in a constant mental race to hyper-rationalize their sub-par mate choice.

Maxim #50: Marriage is no escape from the sexual market and the possibility that you may be outbid by a competitor with higher value.

Maxim #51: For most women, five minutes of alpha is worth five years of beta.

Maxim #52: Underneath the veneer of civilized discourse we act in ways that are brazenly self-interested in the short term.

Maxim #53: All kneel before the god of biomechanics, by sword or by surrender.

Maxim #54: When a woman has incentive to lie, she will choose lying over honesty EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Maxim #55: Run for your Life Shit Tests:
BEWARE the classic gun-to-the-head marriage pressure administered by your typical non-descript, rudderless late 20’s/early 30’s woman.
When a woman pressures you mercilessly to marry her, bullying to the point of threatening a break up – this is the shit test of ALL shit tests. Treat it as such – If you fail this shit test, you are RUINED. FOR. LIFE.

Maxim #60: Waving a roll of benjamins at a woman will not give her tingles. In fact, it will often do the opposite.

Maxim #73: When a girl emphatically insists she is so over you, she’s never been more into you.

Maxim #21: Betas pay, alphas split, super alphas profit.

Maxim #39: A woman’s standards are like a house of cards: kick out one from the bottom and the whole edifice crashes down.

Maxim #85: As women’s bodies age and weaken, their rationalization hamsters grow bigger and stronger. Eventually, the hamster is powerful enough to take control of all higher order consciousness.

Maxim #87: The more expensive or thoughtful the gift you give a girl, the greater the risk that she will subconsciously begin to think she is too good for you.

Corollary to Maxim #87: If you are dating out of your league, or you are dating a young hot babe in her prime, you should do the exact opposite of what everyone will tell you to do — *don’t* buy her expensive gifts. Be particularly wary of advice from women. No woman in the world is capable of thinking clearly or impartially on the matter of “acceptable” levels of male provisioning. Even old, fat hausfrau hogs will expect mountains of jewels in offerings from men.

Maxim #105: Where there’s incentive, there are lies.

Maxim #109: Consensual polyamory is a contrived hookup service for undesirable sexual market rejects.

Maxim #198: Use of the word “disenfranchised” or other similar nomenclature of deconstructivist post-modern pablum automatically discredits an argument for serious consideration.

Maxim #200: Chicks dig guys willing to risk an early, gruesome death. Expendability is a DHV.
