It's where James Lawrence did his loops for his 100 ironmans in 100 days. I drove his support vehicle one day and

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

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.
