PRISON MUSCLE

I spent 7 years in the prison system, and this is the kind of training we lived on.

No fluff. No complicated split. Just compound lifts, hard work, and consistency.

We trained in the weight pit.
In the concrete jungle.
Snow, rain, bad weather, didn’t feel like it—it didn’t matter.
We trained anyway.

No excuses.
No skipping because the conditions weren’t perfect.
You showed up and you put in the work.

I was usually the first one in the yard, getting after it.

This program is built around that same mentality:

🔹️Weighted Dips

🔹️Weighted Chin-Ups

🔹️Pistol Squats


How to train it:

🔸️Use a moderately heavy load (around 8–10RM)

🔸️Perform 4–5 reps per set

🔸️Rest 2–3 minutes

🔸️Stop your training when the last rep is a fight—but still clean

🔸️Train it 2–3 times per week


Simple. Hard. Effective.

Built in prison. Forged under pressure. No excuses.

THE TERMINATOR

Based on a practice created by the late Alexey Senart.

One get-up every minute on the minute. Keep alternating sides.

Start with 20 minutes and gradually build toward 50.

Choose your level:
16 kg — Beginner
24 kg — Intermediate
32 kg — Advanced

The goal isn’t to rush. Own every position, stay tight, and get back up—again and again.

Get up. Repeat.

“You try to knock it down, but it gets back up again and again. It won’t stop until you kill it.”

THE FIGHTER PULL-UP PROGRAM

Simple. Brutal. Effective.

This is an old-school pull-up progression popularized by Pavel Tsatsouline and published through StrongFirst. The original author is unknown, but the method has stuck around for a reason: it gives you a very simple way to accumulate quality volume and gradually push your rep strength higher.

The idea is straightforward:

Start with 5 sets.
Example: 4, 3, 2, 1, 1

Then slowly add one rep at a time:

4, 3, 2, 2, 1
4, 3, 3, 2, 1
4, 4, 3, 2, 1
5, 4, 3, 2, 1

…and keep building from there.

I adapted the same progression for three strength skills:

1-Arm Military Press
Pull-Up
Kettlebell Rack Pistol Squat

Practice frequently. Keep the reps clean. Avoid grinding.

If you stall, back up three workouts and start building again.

Strength doesn’t always need complicated programming.

Sometimes you just need to practice, progress, and persist.

PUSH • PULL • SQUAT — STRENGTH LADDER

A simple full-body kettlebell strength session built around three fundamentals:

1-arm clean & press
1-arm supported row
Double kettlebell front squat

Use a load that’s roughly your 7–8 rep max for each exercise—something you could perform for about 7–8 strong, technically clean reps.

Then perform 2-3-5 ladders for each movement, completing 3–5 ladders total.

Take your time between sets. The goal is strength and quality, not fatigue.

Train it 2–3 times per week, and progress by gradually adding ladders while keeping every rep crisp.

Push. Pull. Squat. Get stronger.

IRON CARDIO — TRAVELING 2s COMPLEX

One kettlebell. Four movements. The 2 travels.

Round 1: 2 Cleans • 1 Press • 1 Squat • 1 Snatch
Round 2: 1 Clean • 2 Presses • 1 Squat • 1 Snatch
Round 3: 1 Clean • 1 Press • 2 Squats • 1 Snatch
Round 4: 1 Clean • 1 Press • 1 Squat • 2 Snatches

That’s 1 series.

Use roughly your 5–6 rep max for the limiting movement, rest as needed, and keep every rep crisp.

Repeat for time, a set number of series, or a set amount of work.

Simple structure. Serious work.

It goes to Brett Jones for creating this awesome training method. @brettjonessfg

You used to be able to keep up. Now your kid asks you to play and your knees answer first.

That's not age. That's a body that's been running on leftover energy for years, no real plan, no real training, just whatever's left after work and everything else.

One-on-one coaching changes that. Here's what you get:

🟠 You train directly with me, not an app or a generic template
⬛ A program built around your body, your schedule, your starting point
🔶 Real accountability, someone making sure you actually follow through

You don't need to grind harder. You need a plan built for the guy you are right now, not the one you used to be.

THE PROGRAM MINIMUM — SIMPLE & SINISTER

Two movements. That’s it.

Swings for power.
Turkish get-ups for strength, control, and resilience.

The workout:
• Swings — 5 × 10/side
• Turkish Get-Up — 5 × 1/side
• Rest is timeless — go when ready

You can train this 2–5 times per week.

Use it 2–3 days per week alongside another strength program, or train it more frequently as a standalone minimalist routine. You can also alternate between one-arm and two-arm swings depending on your training day and experience.

The key is quality: powerful swings, controlled get-ups, and enough rest to keep every rep sharp.

Based on Pavel Tsatsouline’s Simple & Sinister approach.

Simple? Yes. Easy? No. Effective? Absolutely.

5-WEEK FULL-BODY KETTLEBELL PROGRAM

Alternate Session A and Session B, 3 days per week:

Week 1: A / B / A
Week 2: B / A / B
Then keep alternating.

SESSION A — PRESS + PULL
Superset 1-arm presses + pull-ups using a 1-2-3-4-5 ladder.

Start with 1 ladder and aim to add 1 ladder each week, building toward 5.

If you can’t complete the full workload with strong reps, repeat the same number of ladders the following week. Don’t force progression.

Take your time between sets. The goal is to build a high volume of quality upper-body pushing and pulling.

SESSION B — SQUAT + SWING
Goblet Squat: 3–5 sets of 5
2-Arm Swings: 10–20 sets of 10

Add roughly 2 swing sets per week and vary your squat volume based on recovery and performance.

Simple movements. Progressive volume. Quality reps.

Inspired by a kettlebell program Pavel Tsatsouline wrote for Muscle & Fitness.

Enjoy your strength.
