Are his friends doing this to help him or are they trying to win a bet?

Their motivation is for him to complete it.

Maybe not you, but if you were 355 pounds at 5’8” you go ahead and take it. Worry about muscle mass when you’ve escaped

Exactly. It’s a tool to an overall goal. Average human should not take them.

Zwift is updating the "keep everyone together" setting this summer, so you can set up a group ride with different levels

That would be fun. I have no idea how to set it up, but the cycling coach is an expert on Zwift. I'll chat w/ him
