Many doubted. Few believed.
Even fewer understood why
the prodigal son must return!
A note to our beloved readers across this great spinning rock -- the rumors are no longer speculation, now fact. The professor of pain, the mastermind of muscle sculpting, the tacticianer of cardio has returned to Las Vegas... The one, the only!... Jaron "JBK"
My selfish pursuits are definitely met with this third installment of "JBK in Vegas." It's awesome to have my trainer in the same area code -- a weekly work out buddy with a respectable IQ to distract from the knuckle draggers. Not to mention a bro-escort for pilgrimages to our favorite all-you-can eat sushi spots. Only time will tell if the city has fully recovered from the last time the Nevada DMV awarded him an ID. It has been over a decade since his FBI papers resided in the great state of Nevada, and many things have changed for both he and the city of sin. May their courting go smoothly.
With the original ODJ practitioners teaming up again, I expect greatness for the both of us. First order of business is to finalize the latest challenge; The 15/4/20 Slow Grind. 15% incline at 4 mph for 20 minutes on the tread mill. As of last attempt this week I am up to 20 minutes at 15% incline going 3 mph. The sweat ring runs so low that my belly button doubles as a shot glass. If you think this challenge is weak, take a read below an enjoy Jaron's attempt at the 15/4/20 challenge. If you attempt this challenge we suggest you put EMS on speed dial and tell your next closest relative where the will is stored, because the Slow Grind could end you.
Welcome back to Vegas, you crazy landlord of the House of Pain!
I guess ole JT does read my comments! That's the kinda fanfare I was expecting. When I dreamt up this 15/4/20 business, I didn't expect it to be so problematic. After Jarvis's first uninspiring progress report, I figured I had better give it a go, to see what the fuss was about. And a go, I gave it. Now I have hands on training with an AED device, so I got that going for me. Holy Shitburgers! I made it 7 minutes before checking for cell service in case I had to call 911. Dropped it to 3.2 to finish out, after a 2 minute cardiac redline. I try to console myself that my attempt happened at altitude, but I can see through my own BS. This is HARD, people! Me, personally, I'm taking my licks and not looking back. Ole JT can set his sights on completion. After all that's what this blog has always been about. God speed...
