Paul Wade

In developed countries, prisons not only force the criminal to repent, but also contribute to self-development. In the cells, people are out of boredom doing long-forgotten things: reading books, composing songs and putting in order their physical form. Especially for the latter group, writer Paul Wade, himself a former prisoner, created a training system that allows you to stay in good shape even in conditions of restriction of freedom. It is composed of exercises that do not require equipment.

From the biography of Paul Wade, the only fact is known: for 19 years he served a prison sentence in the most severe prisons in the United States - Marion in Illinois, built in 1963 to replace Alcatraz, and Angola in Louisiana, aka "slave prison".

It is assumed that Paul Wade is a pseudonym, because the former criminal is unlikely to want to reveal himself to the world, much less attract the attention of the press. Not a single publication knows anything about the author, not a single tabloid adorns a photo of his body pumped up on his own advice.

In 1979, Paul Wade ended up in San Quentin, California. In the book "Training Zone" the writer claims that then he was barely 22 years old. For what crimes the young man received 19 years of imprisonment is unknown.

The environment of the future writer was hostile: murderers and rapists were serving their sentences in the cells adjacent to him. Wade, naturally fragile (at the time of entering San Quentin, he weighed 68 kg with a height of 185 cm), instantly came into their field of vision. Paul knew that sooner or later the prison authorities would get to him.

Strength is the main coin of the prisoners. Those who can fight back are not offended. So Paul Wade decided to tackle his physical fitness. Fortunately, he was transferred to a cell with a former "Navy seal". He taught the young man to pull up, squat, push up. Daily training yielded results in 2-3 months.

Paul Wade consulted with everyone with whom he could in isolation: gymnasts, soldiers, wrestlers, yogis and doctors. Joe Hartingen became one of Wade's mentors. He was sentenced to life in prison. In prison, Hartingen changed his 8th decade, but continued to do push-ups and pull-ups every day without much difficulty, even on two fingers.

In the 1990s, Wade was transferred to Marion. Just then, after the murder of two guards, a strict regime was introduced in the prison. It meant that the prisoners were in their cells for 23 hours a day. Paul has an additional opportunity to "build" his body. In Marion, Wade received the nickname Entrenador, which means "coach" in Spanish. For a moderate fee, the man wrote a program for the prisoners.

Working with other people allowed Wade to observe how his methods affect bodies with different metabolic rates. Based on what he saw, he developed a principle with the help of which his methods were adapted to the needs of any person. Wade was able to tweak his system and organize the exercises in such a way that both a beginner and a professional could practice.

Paul Wade expounded the knowledge gained in independent training and with other prisoners in books. The very first one is “Training zone. The Secret System of Physical Training ”. It is about the basics of physical education, health and beauty in general.

Paul Wade pays special attention to calisthenics - a system of strength training in which the main apparatus is his own weight. It consists of ancient but powerful exercises like push-ups, squats, and pull-ups. The writer tells how to perform them correctly in order to make the body stronger, and most importantly, he offers a program for performing with a number of approaches.

Part 2 “Training Zone - 2. Advanced Physical Training Techniques” addresses athletes who are ready to move on. The exercises in this book are aimed at strengthening the muscles of the fingers and hands, developing joints, and stretching. They are not for everyone - not everyone can do push-ups on one hand.

It is difficult to talk about the personal life of a man who spent 19 years in prison. Paul Wade himself does not mention relationships in the books either.

In 2019, the third book by Paul Wade “Kalistenika. Workouts without iron and simulators. Strength, endurance, flexibility. " It contains the best exercises from the two previous books, which will help even the weakest person to become stronger.

It is possible that Paul Wade will continue to fill his bibliography with useful publications, but it is impossible to know in advance about their release. The writer does not have an official website, and it is not known if he is writing anything now.

“Training area. Secret System of Physical Training "" Training Zone - 2. Advanced Physical Training Techniques "" Kalistenika. Workouts without iron and simulators. Strength, endurance, flexibility "
