The Dub Method is a training method commonly utilized by inmates in the prisons and jailhouses of the United States. Was one to peak into the solitary confinement cells of Pelican Bay or watch the workout yard at Tracy, they would see some of the fittest inmates present utilizing the Dub Method. The method is a high volume bodyweight approach, elegant in both it’s simplicity and brutality. Contrary to popular belief, there are no weights available to prisoners in the US Correctional System. As such, inmate workouts require more creativity and volume than your average day in the gym. When considering all of the potential applications, movements and variations, it is easy to see that possibilities are vast. However the method itself is very simple and can be summed up in one sentence:

“20 sets of 20”.

For example, on a push day a prisoner would simply do 20 sets of 20 push ups. Once that inmate is able to complete their twenty sets, they would switch to push ups with their feet elevated to add difficulty or simply add another block. They would then do the same with their squats, burpees, sit ups, dips, rows, curls using garbage bags filled with water and punch combos. This high volume approach isn’t just a prison anecdote, it improves strength, endurance, coordination and fortitude.

Editorial:
As some may know, Coach J’s interest in strength training was born while he was serving time as a young man. During this time he utilized the Dub Method extensively, and was known to frequently run through it three times per day (once before each meal) for a total of 1,200 total reps. However training this hard required protein for recovery, and most inmates lived on prison food and “spread” (Top Ramen, Cheez-It’s, chips and other ingredients mixed together with hot water in a garbage bag, which then expanded into a large mass). As a solution, he would bribe the houseman of the cell block with boxing lessons in return for all the extra cartons of skim milk, and attempt to drink them all before they went sour (he was not always successful).
