I’m sure some do-gooder with a study will disprove my theory, but while it lasts, think about the kind of people in jail.
These are guys who I’d bet have pretty high t-levels. Aggression and anger are essential in putting lots of guys behind bars. From domestic violence to assualt to armed robbery, these are not crimes commited by Bill Gates types.
Throw young men into a dangerous environment, and you get workout intensity that sounds like a stimulant advertisement.
Then toss in the huge amount of recovery time, although I’m not sure how pleasant it could be waiting for that four o’clock pounding from White Power Bill.
I’ll be the first do-gooder.
There is no study in the world that proves higher t levels indicate higher incidences of crime, or that criminals have SIGNIFICANTLY higher tests than non criminals. Any coincidence is purely trivial and easily disproved.
There are studies that prove in adolescent teens that engage in criminal behavior, from minor misdemeanors to felonies, often have lower test levels than normal.
Test has nothing to do with it.
Willpower and sheer determination do.
I dont think that people should be looking up to inmates as a source of willpower and determination. I think it boils down to a lack of things to do. They have nothing else to occupy their time and have plenty of time for recovery. They also recieve adequate nutrition. why wouldn’t you be able to put mass on in this type of situation.[/quote]
I’ll never see why this is so hard to understand.
You guys really don’t know anyone who was in jail?
They get in good with the cooks, or they become a cook. There is alot of trading as far as food goes too, so that’s not a problem.
They can’t drink, they can’t do drugs, nothing except workout and eat. With a little inventiveness, they come out pretty ripped.
And then there’s jails that actually have weight sets- so half the prisoners you see probably work out with weights anyway.
