lifting in football, i could bench 275 (which personally i feel isent bad, seeing how i was only 5'4 doing so)
and legpressing over 600lbs.
one thing i couldnt do tho, were squats
my right shoulder would allways give out. i have no idea why, ive had it checked out and they say theres nothing notable wrong with me (i have broad shoulders) but i just cant seem to squat for long before my right shoulder just gives out on me.
@ink, are you saying you were aloud to work out in juvie? ive been to juvie 19 times (almost went to dys) and they wouldnt let us do any kind of working-out other than the 30min rec times. they acted like they were on a personal mission to stop people from doing so.
got caught doing push-ups in my pod one day and got 2hrs in solidary for it.
haha oh ya, hell every swear word was 25 push-ups, wanna guess how many pushups I could do
I did a bit less then 7 years in juvie, we had free weights back then, not sure if they still allow it,(this was 81-87) we used to have what was called "hell night" when ALL the kids were made to go down to the wrestling room and they would let us beat the hell out of each other
. not a place you wanted to go if me and my buddy Tony didn't like you.
when I first got there they had a boxing ring and if you had issues with another kid you took it to the ring, I was 11 when I first went there, and it was not a nice place to be for an 11 year old, by time I hit 17 I had escaped 12 times, assaulted staff members,started riots,fought a lot, had so many fights that they could not say definitively how many, at one point they started a program called "shock treatment"(no not in electrical shock,but a military type of treatment,just worse) exclusively for me and a friend of mine, funny, by time they implemented the program, we were upper levels and couldn't put us in it
I would bet money they still remember me there to this day
I terrorized that place, as a matter of fact when I got paroled the last time,in 87 I got into a fight 2 days before my release date, and they still let me out
they used my YDC(youth development center) years, to send me to prison, when I was 17.
2 hours in solitary.....haha try over a year
I slept naked on a concrete "bed" (not for the whole year though) no blankets,no mattress no pillow, nothing, that was a punishment when someone else burned his cell out.
and no prison is not like the Movies. well they get it right sometimes, I did see a guy bought and sold for 8 cartons of cigarettes
and one old molester had someone jump on his head and crushed it flat, the guards loved to beat on the inmates, but for as much trouble I caused there, they never beat me
came close a few times.
I believe it was the man upstairs looking out for me, even though I hated him.
