So, guys, Derek, more plates from one at eights.com.

Today we're going to be talking about prisoners testosterone levels and how they self-induce a state of essentially what is a natural steroid cycle via their environment.

And can you replicate the same thing?

This was a clip sent to me by a few people and it has some pretty bold claims.

I thought we should go into them. Do you know the secret as to why prisoners are jacked? Most people think it's because prisoners

let's continue now certainly that could help but the problem is when you look at the actual

calorie consumption and protein intake it doesn't account for the amount of sheer muscle mass

gains for most prisoners.

Now, obviously, working out in itself, you know, initiates muscle protein synthesis. And if

you're somebody who is not working out as frequently with as much volume and you are inducing
