Prison Workout

Britain’s Most Dangerous Inmate, Charles Bronson, Built a 220-Pound Physique in a 12×8 Cell Over 30 Years — No Weights, No Gym, No Excuses. Here’s His Exact Workout

Charles Bronson, Britain’s most notorious inmate, spent over 30 years in solitary confinement — yet built a 220-pound physique using nothing but bodyweight training, grit, and relentless discipline.

His “Solitary Fitness” method revolves around extreme volume, daily routines, and mastering basic movements like press-ups, squats, and isometrics inside a 12x8 cell.

With zero access to gym equipment, Bronson proved that consistency and mental toughness can outwork even the harshest conditions.

The article breaks down his full routine, key exercises, and the mindset that turned confinement into a training ground.

Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

11% Body Fat and Still No Abs? Why You Need to Build Your Ab Muscles, Walk More, and Eat Smarter (Not Less) to Finally See Definition

Visible abs aren’t just about dropping body fat, they also require building the abdominal muscles so they “pop” at higher body fat levels.

Coach Paula from ProPhysique.com explains why sustainable fat loss comes from simple habits like resistance ab training, walking for daily movement, and eating in a calorie deficit that fits your lifestyle.

Using a 90-day transformation challenge as an example, he shows how structured goals, smart nutrition, and consistent movement make it possible to get lean—and keep your abs year-round—without extreme cardio or restrictive diets.
