Charles Bronson wrote a book about training while incarcerated - https://www.amazon.com/Solitary-Fitness-Charlie-Bronson/dp/1844543099

Solitary Fitness by Charles Bronson (yes, the Charles Bronson) is more entertaining than anything else, but it does get you motivated. Includes chapters on training your eyes, your jaws, and your penis, believe it or not.

I have limited space and funds, so when I've got my cardio a bit back up to scratch (something I decided to do the night Trump got elected), I was thinking of trying out Charles Bronson (not that one)'s prison workout routine. Any thoughts?

u/british_banger · 6 pointsr/CasualUK

I relate to this post a lot. Knocking back cans and then thinking "fuck, I'm hungry" and munching through packets of some godawful shite and then waking up feeling like a cunt.

For me, it wasn't about finding a new cycle, but breaking the one I was in. Your mileage may vary.

That said, if you want fitness with no equipment, then Charles Bronson's "Solitary Fitness" has you covered: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Solitary-Fitness-Charles-Bronson/dp/1844543099

Not only will you be fit, but you'll be able to knock out a fucking cow with a single punch.

Charles Bronson wrote a book on that, actually.

> he also wrote a great book on body weight exercises

His book is called Solitary Fitness and you can find review of it HERE.

u/rob_cornelius · 2 pointsr/EOOD

There is an excellent book called Solitary Fitness by Charles Bronson (not that Charles Bronson) on just this sort of thing. I normally hesitate to recommend it here at the author is in jail with no possibility of parole and is normally described as "Britain's Most Violent Prisoner" by the press. When you read his book its fairly obvious he has a wide range of severe mental health issues.

However he had got himself into the Guinness Book of Records for several feats of fitness, strength and endurance despite only being able to train alone, either in his cell or a small bare exercise yard.

The book is a goldmine of ideas like this. I guess when you have years to sit and think about a problem you will come up with imaginative solutions.

What you need is a prison workout. Hope you like porridge.

If you need more weight, put on a backpack with weight in it.

You have a ton of options.

  • Barbell work. You probably don't have one based on your post. If you do, check out the wiki.

  • Cardio. Check out C25k in the wiki. Its a basic running program that will slowly introduce you to distance running. Jumping rope is also solid. Stationary biking is pretty good too. Ellipticals are fairly useless unless youre injured.

  • Bodyweight. There are generally two schools of thought with bodyweight training; High rep and gymnastics. Gymnastics shit is like this. They have a solid routine over at /r/bodyweightfitness or this. On the other hand, there is doing high rep routines like doing hundreds of push ups. A solid routine is Charlie Bronson's Solitary Fitness written by none other than the infamous Charlie Bronson.

    Depending on the workout, train alternating resistance and cardio or do 6 days of both. Charlie's book has you training 6 days a week while /r/bodyweightfitness has you training 3 days a week.

Just watched that yesterday at a local independent theater. It was entertaining, but didn't really go anywhere. I'd give it a 3.5/5, and add that it wouldn't make for a good discussion afterward.

Also, I don't know where you can get it in the US. Doesn't look like it's out on video here until February.

edit: I will add that, if you've seen this film already, you might find this Amazon offering funny. (be sure to zoom in for the small print on the cover)

u/Viking_Lordbeast · 1 pointr/pics

Charles Bronson wrote a book about working out in prison in a confined space. So there's always that.

Edit: Found it. http://www.amazon.com/Solitary-Fitness-Charlie-Bronson/dp/1844543099

Point taken, sorry didn't mean to lecture you.

If you have an internet connection and won't get in trouble, find something of interest and skill up. I appreciate you won't be taking an online degree but at least you can grow from it personally.

Find digital books and copy/paste text into Word docs so you can read them without people seeing etc.

Start an ebay shop.

Stock and shares, even if it's only practice (fantasy stock exchange etc).

If you don't have a net connection, try writing or drawing.

If you have private space you could even exercise or meditate

I'm still someone's bitch but I enjoy what I do and get paid enough to do fun/cool stuff for my family and friends.

If you have to suck cock 40 hours a week, make it count.

u/brews · 1 pointr/Fitness

And check out Charlie Bronson's book.

u/RiccoUk · 1 pointr/Fitness

[Solitary Fitness] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Solitary-Fitness-Charles-Bronson/dp/1844543099) by Bronson is a good read, I'd also look at /r/bodyweightfitness

u/VaguerCrusader · 1 pointr/short

You don't even need a gym honestly all you need is a mat, maybe a good sturdy bar or pipe and you should be fine:

u/LightTreePirate · 1 pointr/everymanshouldknow

Bronson released a book on how to get fit with just a room and a chair, since he spent most of his time in prison he knows how. Maybe the methods in OP's photo is all you need, but linking it anyway. http://www.amazon.com/Solitary-Fitness-Charlie-Bronson/dp/1844543099

u/qabsteak · 1 pointr/loseit

Charles Bronson's Solitary Fitness is all anyone needs. Old school.

u/frybread · 1 pointr/IWantToLearn

Solitary Fitness - Charlie Bronson is a fantastic book full of information, definitely what you're after in my opinion

u/falldogbombsthemoon · 1 pointr/asktrp

Keeping fit is a lifestyle choice. you def do not need gym equipment but just the discipline to do so.

Check this book out from Charles Bronson, a prisoner that has spent years in solitary confinement yet kept very fit.

So if you've ever seen the movie Bronson with Tom Hardy, it's based off of a real british prisoner who spent MANY YEARS In solitary confinement. I don't know about now but at one point he had the world pushup record of like 160 under a minute or something... anyway He published a book while he was in there called "Solitary fitness". I bought it last winter when I didn't have a membership anywhere and it actually worked very well. Since you already have dumbells and pullup bars you are in great shape, but he only had his cell and a chair I think and he's in amazing shape. Lots of great workouts in there when you don't have much to work with. https://www.amazon.com/Solitary-Fitness-Charlie-Bronson/dp/1844543099
