Yea the disciplinary joints were a joke,shyt sometimes we had to get a call out just to use the weights and on level 5 there were no free weights all machine,but when my level finally dropped that's when I was able to really take off,built my body up real good,was always fun to go to the competition in the summer and see who were the strongest cats in the joint was.
We go from level 1 on down here. I started at a 1 (max), went to a 2 (med-max disciplinary), then got approved for a transfer to a 4 (med-min) after a couple of years then got kicked out and back up to a medium at logan but logan was sweet tho for reasons I stated above, Plus the female joint at Lincoln was next door so you get to look around and yell shyt at the broads every now and again
at the 1 we went to yard once a week for 6 hours and the weights were all machines
at the 2 the weights were all welded and jumped 20-30 pounds increments but we had dumbells too.
then evrywere else pretty much had the same with welded weights just more variety of the same but weights feel hell of a lot heavier in the winter vs the summer for whatever reason. 275 feels like 315 or some shyt but you got a lot stronger, just had to wrappe up real good because once you were out only a fight or you dying was gonna get them to let you back in since it was a line type of thing
like nikka you was big and cut as fukk when you left now you looking
just that quick 
that shyt would be crazy seeing guys get big and strong as fukk and come back to prison with a gut and having lost all their strength,nikkas would be so used to going home coming back,nikkas would remember what days we did push and pull and hop right in

just go to the gym nikka, we not about to go out there in that shyt just for you
and id come up some times but their was the ones who did their job too and id be on the yard solo but I loved it
