Can't recommend this book more. One of the first training books I ever read, and the lesson of utter brutality as a mentality, in the gym and in life, has stayed with me throughout my training. The book is less focused on providing a strict program (though there are two good ones offered, one with weights and one with bodyweight movements), and more concerned with providing examples of good movements. Of particular note to me was the section on building a bigger neck; I read this book after receiving a concussion while playing football, with symptoms like a splitting headache and memory issues lasting for almost two years. I knew I needed to build up a more robust neck, so an injury like that couldn't happen again. I started using the methods described in the book, and within three months my neck was noticably larger. All told, over the course of a year and a half, my neck has grown from 15 inches around to 18 inches around, and I feel comfortable doing things like playing rugby with my friends again. Overall, it's a fantastic book, even if all you pick up from it is one or two things to add to your training, or just the mentality of absolute strength in life and in training.

Calisthenics and prison fitness books can be a gamble. Some of them focus on the health benefits applied to daily civilian life, and some of them are essentially just describing a different flavor of bodybuilding. But this book just GETS it. Convicts don't get in shape to be healthier or look better, though those are absolutely side benefits. They get in shape in order to sharpen their claws and survive in a harsh and brutal environment. Josh Bryant takes this mindset of primitive no-frills fitness focused solely around building strength, and he really runs with it. It really is put best in the first page of this book, "Like a knight putting on his armor for battle, you must build physical armor to show that you have prepared your body for the realities of no-rules combat." Lots of great information in here about everything prison fitness related, with some excerpts and wisdom taken from some of the most (in)famous ex-cons, gang leaders, and prison fitness enthusiasts in the modern era. The real meat of the book are the two different regimens available, one focused mainly around calisthenics and the other around barbell training. Some excellent bonuses in this book that are hard to find anywhere else are the chapters on building neck strength and learning the basics of the martial art of Jailhouse Rock by using the movements as interval training. I also greatly enjoyed the brief history of how prison fitness actually came to exist, and when the image of the jacked-up inmate entered public view. All that been said, there's two big quips I have with this book. Not enough to detract a star, though. The first is that there is no real table of contents at the beginning of the book. Granted it's not really long, but being able to know which page the certain routines are on would really help. The second is that the book, dimensions-wise, is kind of big and awkward and clumsy, which not only makes it less portable, but blows up the images and makes them look blurry and low-quality. The actual binding and publication is fine, I just wish that the book was smaller so it could be carried around in a backpack better, and maybe have a table of contents at the start so I could know which page to flip to for what day of exercise. All-in-all, this is absolutely a staple fitness book, and a must-buy if you're at all interested in the subject. If you want to build intense and focused physical strength using a minimal amount of equipment, where the sole goal is to sculpt and weaponize your body using grueling, time-tested workouts endorsed by the baddest of the bad, buy this book!

This book doesn’t seek to reinvent the wheel, if you’re an intermediate trainee or beyond you’re not likely to learn any exotic movements you don’t already know of, and that’s not the point here...if you’re a beginner this will definitely instill a proper knowledge of the tried and true exercises you will need throughout your training journey. If you are partial to or limited to calisthenics there’s plenty of (authentic) prison style routines to implement, if you prefer and have access to a barbell and some heavy iron and a rack/bench you will have plenty to sink your teeth into as well, if you’re like me and are fond of both this is a gem. The genius is in the programming, its simple but comprehensive all at once, and tailored for long term gains as much as it is for getting strong and jacked and in condition as quickly as possible (like a prisoner would need to for survival). It also leaves a lot of room for custom tailoring your routines and schedules for YOUR goals and needs. If you like learning about a lil iron game history that doesn’t usually get a spotlight you’ll learn some of that here and personally I enjoyed it (and always do). I think the only real criticism I could give it is the description of Hindu Squats...it’s either inaccurate or just a poor description (shrug, nothing a lil google or YouTube search couldn’t remedy). A truly awesome book in the physical culture realm that will serve the raw beginner all the way up to the hardcore seasoned trainee. I would definitely recommend to anyone

I work a desk job; sounds corny but people nicknamed me Mclovin and after seeing a lot of good reviews for this book I decided to buy it. I ran it from the moment I got it. I weighed 260 when I started working out January 2018 and by the time it was March I was 230. My deadlift went from 335 max rep to 455 within the same time span, squat was 205 to 455 and bench from 185 to 315. And to date my physique has drastically changed I used this book along with the successful mindset book and my life has changed for the better; including a better job and a $25,000 raise within three months at my new job. Again these results aren't guaranteed if you don't put the principals in the books to work. Nothing works unless you do. Thank you Josh for writing this book.

Surprisingly good book. If you read a couple other authors and highly recommended strength or athletic training litterateur is easy to start believing certain philosophical approaches to training that will slowly narrow your athletic performance training methods over time. this book makes some pretty good arguments that can’t be ignored about, train hard get gains. Recommend anyone invested in squatting over 500 and benching over 300 honestly take a look at this book. The philosophical approach to training in this book could be applied to any sort of athletic training.
