Prison Isometrics 囚徒健身
囚徒健身
I met a young protester in Hong Kong who had been imprisoned for 3 years and 10 months. Before he entered, he was a slender scholar, but when he came out, he had become very muscular. I asked him how he managed to get so strong without any gym equipment in prison. He told me that he had found a book on "prisoner training" in the prison library, where he learned to use his body weight for isometric exercises that stimulate muscle growth without moving the joints. This book changed him, making him more proactive and goal-oriented. By continually reading to strengthen his mind and exercising to build his body, he may have lost his freedom physically, but his resistance movement continued in his mind and in the confines of his prison, preparing for the next approaching revolution.
我在香港認識一位年青抗爭者在監獄內被關了3年零10個月，他進去前是個瘦瘦的書生身材但出來時變得非常強壯全身肌肉，我問他為什麼可以在監獄內沒有健身器材的情況下也可以變得這麼強壯？他說因為他在監獄內的圖書館，找到一本關於「囚徒訓練」的書，學會了利用自己身體的重量在不移動關節的情況下進行負重的「等長訓練」刺激體內肌肉生長，這書改變了他使他變得積極和有目標。在囚的抗爭者透過不斷閱讀去強化自己思想，透過做運動去鍛鍊自己身體，身體雖然暫時失去自由，但反抗運動繼續在獄中和腦中進行，為下一場即將到來的革命做好準備。

Prison Isometrics
I met a young protester in Hong Kong who had been imprisoned for three years and ten months. Before he went in, he was a slim scholar, but when he came out, he had become very strong and muscular. I asked him how it was possible to get so fit in prison without access to workout equipment. He explained that in the prison library, he found a book on "prisoner training." He learned to use his body weight to perform isometric exercises that stimulated muscle growth without moving his joints. This book changed him; it made him more proactive and goal-oriented. Even though he was physically confined, he fortified his mind through constant reading and trained his body through exercise. The struggle for resistance continued within the prison walls and in his mind, preparing for the next impending revolution.
