Jailhouse Strong

Jailhouse Strong is a book by John Larson and Eric “Crazy” Waters. It offers functional strength training based on the training habits cultivated behind bars. The book includes interviews with personalities ranging from a former Mr. Olympia, who started lifting behind bars, to a co-founder of the Crips Street gang. In addition to programs that can be done at home, Jailhouse Strong offers workouts for lifting, bodyweight movements, and conditioning with unarmed combat techniques. These workouts require minimal cost, equipment, time, and space and can be done in a hotel or just about anywhere.
