Guys... just made a follow along prison workout using this technique in a new video. Check it out here >> th-cam.com/video/36-P4TsHXuU/w-d-xo.html
Prisoners also get more rest than the average person
And they often have higher levels of T
🤣
make time to rest and you get can more fit
Most people can rest as much, because they have to support prisoners.
@@markothwriter yeah lemme just quit my job real quick
Lets be real tho, (yes been locked up) prisoners can focus on just working out, literally all day on pretty much every day except rest. That's really all you have time for so anyone outside, if they had that dedication would have the same or better results. Fact.
Let's be real tho,if u wanna get ripped you'll find the time.
@@slimfit767 true. And very doable....I'm doing it now, I hang drywall all day and wake up earlier for function workouts and hit my cardiovascular and hypertrophy after work. Going great lost 95 pounds in 110 days combined with the warrior diet
How true are the depictions of prison life in media?
@@slimfit767u commenting the same shit in dif words under every comment weirdo
How do prisoners manage protein intake tho ? How can they grow with the -i guess- bad food from prison ?
Cant wait to go to jail now!!!! 😤 💯 💪

Can confirm in azkaban atm works.
Kool, u guys have internet in there too?? And they make jail look bad in the movies
@mistergengar1293 yeah the dementors kick me off sometimes
I am glad that somebody finally took note of this particular phenomenon and decided to research it. Because it doesn't make any sense that we're out here blowing money on gym memberships, personal trainers, apps, fad diet trends, and these guys in jail are getting ripped doing nothing but body weight exercises, and eating prison food. Somethings not right. This was a good video man. It made me a subscriber.
😊
Its just consistency, inside you have nothing but time fr, so its harder to procrastinate as opposed to being on the street; where you have to work, or you gotta get groceries, or you’re too tired so you just wanna sleep, etc.
@@ryangonzalez7177 Thanks for the insight man. I didn't think of that
the prison nutrition is the crazy one. they prob get a full 8 hours cause its mandatory and that makes the diff
The typical American way everything a Scam
I was incarcerated from1998 until 2022. I can tell you first hand that there are some guys that do use half reps exclusively, however there are a lot more that use everything: Waterbags, Sandbags, Gravelbags, Buffers, Other People, Full Rep, Half Rep, Plyometrics, Negatives, Rest Pause....you name it, they're using it. I think that the reason it looks like all the guys in the joint are using half reps is because we're universally taking everything to failure all the time which leads to some pumping half reps. Which equals pretty good muscle stimulation.
With all that said, this is a very good informative video. Thank you.
Y’all do every set to failure? That sounds intense but I might have to give it a try.
Give it a try. You'll definitely get results
I like the 1 & 1/4 reps style.
I do this thing called 21s. The idea is 7 full reps followed immediately by 7 lower end reps and then 7 higher end reps in a single set.
21s are brutal!!!
I'm a retired CO and I saw 1st hand how inmates get "jacked" . They are very creative with the time they have.
Oooh tell me tell me
@@strawberrydonkey5576I’ve heard of an exercise where you drop a card on the floor and squat to pick it up. You then repeat this and put the card on another card, so you have to squat twice to pick them both up, working up to the 52 cards and 52 squats.
@@strawberrydonkey5576nerd
Are you going to say how they do it or what?
@@NN-oz6rrI think he just means that generally when you're on lockdown, you'll have a lot of free time and with not a lot of access to machines outside the training areas they have to get creative and for example use a sand filled water jug instead of a traditional kettlebell
Half reps keep the tension some guy in the gym told me about this and damn game changer
Pay close attention then keep the tension
I take dat shid to another dimension
Facts
Or you could do full motion but slower
keeps detention??😂
I've taken to calling them 'crispies'. Since I started doing more of those, and less full rom reps, my power and size has gone up and continues to do so, despite being in this game for the past 22 years. Add in some bands for blood flow restriction, and it's even better.
Crispies has a nice ring to it
What about myo reps?
Prisoners call them shorties
Good stuff, as always! Your channel defies conventional wisdom sometimes, and that’s a good thing. FWIW, looking back 26 years when I was a tender 45, I learned about partial rep training in the strong range of motion. Saved my elbows, shoulders, lower back and knees from potential injury and got me seriously stronger than anything before (or since). At 6’1” and 230, still wearing size 32 waist pants, I was officially a believer. Time passes, life changes. But now in my 70’s I still see better results and less joint pain with partial movements, but also adding slow negatives and static holds AT THE END of a single set for each exercise when I think I’m “done” (recovery takes longer too as we age, sadly). It’s “not fun” to push like that, but holy hell, you can see the difference. To all the younger dudes out there, please think about going the distance and protecting yourselves from potential injuries down the road. Save the “stretching” for yoga or whatever else you do for flexibility and focus on what works best and most economically for strength building. You’ll be glad you did. Thanks for a great channel that offers interesting and valuable alternatives to the conventional wisdom. Processes change in almost every endeavor. The more we learn, the more we grow, no pun intended. Thanks for being a force for improving ourselves. Looking forward to whatever comes next from your channel. 😅
Plenty of time on their hands
man your arched back pullups are a piece of art.
He's back 🙌🏽
and he's black💪
"Shorties" I saw a lotta of em done by inmates after losing card games lol
They just quickly drop down and do em. I started doing sets of 50 x 7 twice a day morning and night. And got huge
Everyday?
@@sum4dem yeah everyday between the morning and night. Trust me it gets done very quickly since you're not doing full range of motion.
@@mzmav72050×7? Holy shit , thats 350, you would have after just a month reached 10k lmao i probably didnt even do 350 pushups in my whole life
50 sets of 7 reps or 7 sets of 50 reps?
@@CoVa923 7 sets of 50
Bottom partials are good, because the lengthened position of the muscle at the bottom that stimulates hypertrophy more than the shortened position at the top of a movement, but by doing only bottom partials you're leaving out the negative that is as good of a muscle builder as the lengthened position at the bottom, so you're much better off by doing full rom reps with a controlled negative and a pause at the bottom to stimulate hypertrophy at best, you can always do bottom partials at the end of every set to increase volume and to get that sweet deep stretch at the bottom
Fax
Negatives don't stimulate more hypertrophy than positive, this dogma is based on the theory than muscle damage is what is causing hypertrophy. (i used to believe in this for a looong time 🥶)
But this is wrong : the physiological process that allows you to recover from muscle damage is actually slowing (inhibiting) the physiological process that allow muscle growth.
So if there is anything, the best option would be to train positive only type movement with no eccentric at all.
This way, you should be allowed to limit muscle damage (there is always will be some) while applying mechanical tension, and you should be able to train more often.
@@victorvictor9662 the negative stimulates as much muscle growth but with less cns fatigue so by slowing it down we generate as much if not more stimulus with less cns fatigue
@@EliaMiliteChristi Sorry but this is wrong , slowing the negative is giving you a mechanical advantage wich is reducing the mechanical tension on your muscles even more. In order to optimize the effect of the Negatives, they should actually be 1. Heavier than the positive and 2. As fast as they can be ! Only because you should'nt be able to deliberately slow the negative (if your goal is to cause maximum muscle damage)
for example : If you are trying to tear a rope apart you will pull it appart as strongly and explosively as possible. If you try to rip the same rope apart by pulling slower, you have even less chance to cause damage to the rope.
Your muscles react the same way, unfortunately
Here is a study that indicate that our muscles are way underactive during negative portion and they are actually 'resting' a bit during the negative portion : th-cam.com/video/fv9K1p8xwO0/w-d-xo.html (comment are in french but the actual study is in english)
@@victorvictor9662 nah bro you're trolling at this point 💀
Yup: stretch has been shown to be stimulatory all on its own. And, time under tension is important. Half reps increase both for some movements.
I have lifted very heavy weight and built muscle for years using static contraction training, which means you only train in the strong zone. For example when you push a person or a car, you are not pushing from a fully contracted position but, rather, from a semi-extended state. You can learn more from Pete Cisco - Static Contraction Training. At times, my recovery/growth period has been 4 to 6 weeks with increased strength when returning to working out.
There is an old school biceps routine called 7's (or 21's) where you to quarter, half, three quarter reps seven times, then as you reach muscular disintegration, you squeeze out one or two full bicep curls where you arms are absolutely on fire..literally feels like they are burning. This works great for arms, never occured to me to do it with the other body parts. Cheers, nice video. ; ]
Just finished Baki the Grappler after Tao hyped it up 😂😂
They just released Baki vs Kengan Asura a few days ago. Don't get too hyped though. Only part 1.
I just yesterday discovered this idea on my own. Crazy pumped up way of doing pushups. Once I got to 25 regular pushups on a regular basis, I wanted something more and now, with your input, I can find tune my pushups even better. Thanks 👍
Thanks dude, I like the last one, I'm exploring isometrics mostly but do calisthenics now and then
I just tried this and I’am now serving 25 to life in prison.. Thank you🙏
One of the best tips i ever heard on workout! Thanks!
Back with a banger video, thx bro 💪
As a calve HARD gainer, I will be implementing this pronto!
In the 90s, we did all that in the playground growing up just to prove our strength and we were all fit.
Yeah, now all I see are kids standing around in large groups doing nothing.
In the 70s and 80s, it was like a friggin' 200 kid death match everywhere.

How prisoners get jacked:
1. Increase protein intake. If your protein is low, so are your gains. Muscle needs brotein to grow
2. Volume. They don't have shit else to do all day but work out. Arnold worked out 5-6 hour a day, 6 days a week to become a legend
3. Time under tension: Partial reps, not locking out, negatives, forced reps, more reps, and more sets add more gains!
4. More rest: The more you rest, the more you recover. They don't have to go to work in the morning, so rest up and bulk up!
I really don't wanna know where prisoners get their "brotein" from 😬
@@jamiekearns1130 hahahaha
Great comment 💯👍
@@BlackAtticus😂
Don't forget the steroids tho.
So, you have to do 21's! 7 half reps low, 7 half reps up, 7 half reps full range.
It increases TUT (time under tension) and can be applied to any other exercise.
Peeked the bathmate just chilling in the background lol
Ma boy JessePawlak put me on game
Indeed! JP shared this too! Tao and he are excellent teachers.
Facts 👌 Jesse has some great content as well.
He's good too
Amen Jesse a real one
Tao, recuerdo que cuando iba a entrenar físico culturismo( en mi adolescencia) después de terminar de hacer toda la series completas, al final le agregaba unas 10 a 15 reps parciales y explosivas. Con la idea de que esas últimas reps, eran las que más resultado daban.Hoy gracias a vos, se los beneficios reales. Por otra parte me gusta la idea de alternar 1completa x 4 medias. Gracias! Amigo, te vengo siguiendo desde hace un tiempo y haciendo tus rutinas. Amo las anillas. 💪👍👏👏👏🇦🇷
No matter the method that one decides to go with one thing is very clear: you must put in a lot of work (something that most folks today aren't willing to do).
I've been doing half reps for years and had good gains
This channel is the smartest on working out I’ve seen. 80:20 thinking applied to working out. And smart flexible thinking. 👏
You can’t forget that in prison everyone is on high alert, paranoid, stressed and angry and this raises their testosterone levels which ultimately helps building muscle and strength
My wife enjoyed watching this way too much 😂 💪💪💪 I guess I need to work out
El muchacho regresó!
It's all about the sustained muscle tension. The exercise that stimulates the muscles most are going to be the effective ones.
Imma go with lots of time and pure boredom. If you got 16 hours to kill EVERY DAY working out is a great passtime.
Plus having set bed times , set mealtimes and set menu, helps .
Plus this makes you fall asleep quicker
Bro what makes you not believe what this dude is saying? Do you have any proof that this shit doesnt work?
@@DjordjePetrocoxdo you have any proof that it does work? Theres papers flashed on the screen but we dont read them or even get a paraphrasing. The half repping thing work for sure in the fully contracted parts of a motion. But prisoners arent getting jacked, often within a year, because the variation of exercise. Its because of the time and volume. If they join any set theyre going to be encouraged to get to whatever level the people in ot are at as fast as possible. Youll be doimg 500 pushups a day however well you can manage, even if its halfs at the top, but your doing 500. Some prisons have weight sets as well.
Dude I did 110 pull-ups yesty grease the groove sets of 11
The last couple I got a towel and swung it over the bar and did hammer curl pull-ups
The grip training alone with this is insane my fingers and hands are sore .
Do you think training intuitively is a good way to train? Love your videos they taught me so much.
That’s a nuanced topic. Might need to address it
I somehow can't get myself to do half reps, it feels like a sin 😂
It looks so wrong but apparently the jail bros were on to something
I just started half reps and it's crazy to me because I worked out for years and been to prison and still did full reps but I'm free now and gave it a try recently and it really works. I do both and also do bodyweight and weights
Woah! The way I learned this with pure intuition. I never watched this video prior to today, never went to jail, and never read any of the research papers. I can confirm you're speaking facts. From personal experience, partial reps at the top are absolutely useless. If you feel it in the muscle you're good to go. Just whatever you do, don't copy what an ego lifter would do.
What's up, muchacho? Greetings from Venezuela. 🇻🇪
The real reason is they simply don't have anything better to do. Complete Boredom is a powerful motivator (And not getting jumped in the yard is also huge)
Very true. Did this when I was locked up. Also proves the human is the most dominant species on Earth. The level of creativity, ingenuity, and imagination proves it. It's amazing what you will put yourself through when you in a survival situation
I think they get so jacked because theres nothing to do but eat and workout. Most of them lose the gains when they get out because of this reason. Just my opinion. 💪🏼👍🏼
This was still a good video by all means 👍🏼💯👑
They get ripped because nothing is fried, made with tons of grease and portion size
This is something that Arnold utilised when he was competing, called it 21's. 7 full rep, 7 half rep at stretch and 7 half rep at compression. Worked pretty well for him and other bodybuilders 😁
I have started incorporating half or baby reps into every exercise occasionally. I think it’s like heavy weight low reps light weight high reps. You gotta do both. Mix it up to shock muscles.
I think you should always do full ROM when starting a knew exercise you aren't used to. After you build a foundation for full ROM, start including full length partials
Love how you show research to substantiate your views. Much appreciated.
“And you don’t need to commit a crime and go to prison to get the same gains” - well hallelujah! 🙏 😇
Who would have known that.
It's just a hack to get more blood in the muscle (i.e. pump). But, doing partial reps weakens you in the rest of the movement.
The weight distribution of a bar, isolates specific portion of a muscle, similiar to free weights and machines.
Really interesting video. Think ill try 1 1/4 come monday, just because that seems to be the one where counting the reps will be the easiest. Also noticed that all the examples, except for push ups, you showed were from the bottom position which does make sense.
I've just lost 5 stones due to diet and just started training in just 2 week's the changes are crazy I'm expecting to be jacked by next year and I'm 50.
Bro's speaking from experience 💀
Man, Im so glad to see U R on top of this!! Because I have long taught this method learned from the Streets long ago (from the 60s). And yes: much of it came to us in the hood from Brothas who had been locked up and exported The Method. And when U combine this with the actual Science U will see AMAZING Gains and Rippedness!! Im kinda ripped for nearly 70. And it has to be understood that Building MUSCLE is different from Building STRENGTH. Altho BOTH can be obtained with the right Exercises.....And what most Peeps should be working towards is SHAPE n TONE rather tryna look like a BEAST. The workouts become more simplified. HIGH REPS/HIGH VOLUME + HIGH SPEED is what U want. And you can build all of this using BODYWEIGHT only!! Plus drinking a cup of BLACK COFFEE and then working out in the SUN helps foster VITAMIN D Absorption fueling HYPERGROWTH=Natural Steroid.
I ve done that for like two years and its not for me got better with full rom thanks for video stay healthy stay strong 👍💪
The effectiveness completely depends on where your weaknesses are in a move. For example with bench is the limitation your chest or triceps? Depending on the answer the partial changes from the bottom half to the top half.
Lengthened partials are very effective but not for athletic or fighting ability. For sports and fighting full ROM is king
Its not really the bottom its the middle 👍🏿, but it definitely pumps more than full extensions
I just got a pull up bar for my room. I'm 178cm 83-85 kgs, my genetics is kinda good. My body fat is kinda high as you can assume. I do 3 full range pull ups in like 2 weeks, first I couldn't do just 1, I started with negative pull ups. What I am saying is consistency is the key guys, everybody can build like an anime character if he works out everyday.
Massive one bro. I've tried everything in the past and everything especially the 1st one gives you a pump from another world. Second one is a more playful but at the same time systematic approach which is really interesting and the third one is for all the bros who have ADHD, the third one is really tiring but at the same time the most fun In my options
First one is my favourite but when I'm full of testosterone, it brings you the craving, the will to not give up and this feels like a warrior's heart
Good content. But I think it's better if you do the upper half for pullups. For pushing exercise is ok to do the bottom half , but for pulling exercise you should do the oposite. This is about the time under tension theory.
Half reps are amazing for pushups if you go for very high reps
Gets the blood pumping
This is some really great insights, cuz now you got 3 variations of the same push up position, and like arnold said, you gotta shock the muscle
Big Boy and the Strength Cartel come to mind. Haters always leave comments about how they do half reps for push ups and other exercises. The thing is that these guys are huge and incredibly strong, so clearly the half reps work. They give you a better pump and fatigue the muscle more effectively.
Lenghtened partials. Partials in bottom stretched position: constant tension + more stretch = more growth. Yet, Full ROM is overall better.
Two more reasons that people in prison get more gains are that they're controlled in what they eat because they have regulated mealtimes and limited access to snacks and they have far more time to exercise.
This is essentially it. Again, people overcomplicate the muscle building process.
You still got guys that go to prison that are skinny when they come out. Genetics, set schedules and being able to workout constantly. All this really does is shows that building muscle really comes down to discipline and being consistent.
When doing pushups in jail I did them on an incline. Feet on bunk hands on floor. Situps the same way. Feet anchored on my locker. Situps off the bed to the floor.
Instructions unclear, robbed a store got arrested and dropped the soap
😅
My g likeeeer this cause imm hyppped🎉🎉🎉
It's actually a form of intensity. So, do full reps because you're 2 strongest point is the peak which is the point of the movement where you're almost at full extension. Remember, you don't want to lock out, but locking out takes the tension off the muscle and places the weight on the joint which leads to injury. Your 1 strongest point is the negative, so you want to bring the weight back to the starting point at a slower pace than the start of the movement. You'll eventually fail pushing the weight the way you did on the first rep. This is where partial reps come in. So push the weight as far as you can, hold the weight for a few seconds, lower slowly, and repeat. Eventually you won't be able to lift/push the weight anymore and you've reached failure. Count 30 seconds and repeat until you can't lift anymore. Count 30 seconds and repeat until you can not do one rep. This is the muscle failure. Do not workout alone. You'll feel sore the next day
Three weeks in to doing 3 sets of 40 a day and im already seeing a change. I was already doing that amount of reps with normal pushups daily for at least a decade as daily maintenance but this seems to have taken me up a step already
0:23 ahhhh, should've started with that🫥
i tried this method by doing bodyweight squats and i absolutely can confirm it fkcing burns my legs, love it
Thought that was David Goggins in the thumbnail
Thanks for sharing this video. I’m going to give this a try.
My experience is that combining half rep and full rep at 5x5 intervals (half rep 5, full rep 5 ) x 5 at 25 reps per set works very well.
(At the full rep sets of 5, throw in mountain climbers....)
Another great video. Thank you 🙏❤️ 👍
Half reps definitely work!! Didn’t necessarily just do a bunch of half reps when I got in big trouble but we certainly did A LOT of them and that sht got me jacked af
I like training to double failure. Full reps to failure, half reps to failure. Get plenty of recovery.
That's a great approach
Loving how you do your outros lately lol! Maximizing that watchtime
I can see the intuition behind half reps. Most of the strain feels like it's when I'm low. If we think of center of mass, it's further concentrated over the arms. The upward half feels like I'm not doing anything, as though I'm kind of just flailing my arms and not engaging muscles.
PS I wasn't planning to commit a crime and go to prison just to do pushups haha. Although prison does seem like an environment where new ideas are allowed and uninterrupted by the typical way of doing things.
Agree that rings are the best. They allow you to build strength without any bio mechanical irregularities getting in your way. If you have long arms or inflexible shoulders, they can allow you to get the full stretch without fucking your shit up.
All Fax
The music got me wanting to crip walk Cuz!
As a prison inmate, I concur with your advice.
Thank you muchacho! good video
This information is very valuable
the real reason why prisoners are jacked is because 1) most prisoners are young and in their physical prime, and 2) because they are young they have plenty of energy, 3) AND they have plenty of time on their hands and 3) there is a HUGE incentive to get jacked in prison if anything for self protection
Doesn’t answer how they are able to get in the proper calories.
@@MrDave498186Prisoners don't get fed low calorie diets and they also can buy snacks and such.
Currently doing life for these guns I carry on my arms 🤞🏾
Shorties are great to get in more reps so you are guaranteed to eat your food and be able to sleep if not they won’t let you eat and also great for avoiding injuries I just finished eating now on my way to d block
So long-length partials? Funny that prisoners been doing that for years that's insane because that's literally groundbreaking research 😂
Jeff Nippard's been talking about this a lot recently. Goes to show you that often science just catches up to what savvy people already know.
Thanks for the video man it's really helpful.
Question though, why do you have a bathmate just chillin on your table in the background like decorations? lmao
Oh. . . It's a conversation starter for when new friends come over to my place
@@Taophysique It definitely works lol. I appreciate the reply bruh
The isometric component required when using a half rep with most exercises must make a difference.
Thx 4 the valuable tips. Love this channel, its a game changer.
I do push ups with my hands on books , fingers over the edge. I regulate how many of them i put on a staple on each side , depending on how deep i wanna go.
Implemented this in my daily routine and it has dramatically improved the gain! Also, what is that energy drink by the lamp never seen that one before.
